The Seimitsu LS-40 is highly desired amongst Neo Geo fans, especially those who own the Japanese candy cab. The fastener type differs from the LS-40-01 PCB type in that it connects to .187 quick disconnect, which are common in arcade cabinets. The LS-40 and LS-40-01 have the following characteristics
Shortest throw distance
Shortest engage distance.
Soft, sensitive spring like the Sanwa JLF.
Comes with square gate only.
Small "deadzone"
Compatible with Seimtsu LB-35 balltops, LB-39 bubbletops, color shaft and dustwasher sets
You can find plenty of color customization options for the LS-56. Now available are Seimitsu solid and translucent color shaft and dustwasher sets, plus solid color LB-35 bubbletops, and translucent LB-39 bubbletops. Use these to swap the default black up to 7 solid color and 10 translucent colors accessories.
RE Plate installed. Compatible with LS-32 SS Plate
The Seimitsu LS-40 is about the same size as the Seimitsu LS-32, and comes with the RE plate installed. If you intend to install into a Fightstick, you will likely need the Seimitsu SS Mounting Plate for LS-32, LS-40.
I've bought a few of these to fit into both arcade control panels and fight sticks as my preferred joystick. It feels great and is responsive - can't think of anything better or worse to say about it. Always a good time fitting a cool ball on top too. Yeah, recommended. Unknown
