  • Product Description

    LS-56-01 Model Uses Omron Microwitch

    Panasonic no longer manufactures microswitches for Seimitsu products.  The units we have now will use Omron brand microswitches.

    Balltop or Battops Sold Separately Unless Noted

    Due to rising costs, most joystick lever manufacturers no longer offer retailers a default balltop for free. Some lever photos will show a balltop for display purposes.

    Before Seimitsu introduced the LS-58 series of translucent color joysticks, there was the solidly-built LS-56.  This joystick is noticably smaller than the LS-32 or LS-40, enabling it to fit inside smaller joystick configurations, such as a Madcatz TE.  The stiffer spring makes it excellent for those who prefer it to the softer looser spring in a Sanwa JLF, or LS-58. 

    The LS-56 has the following characteristics according to slagcoin:

    • Medium throw distance
    • Medium engage distance
    • Has a heavy tension spring in comparison to Sanwa JLF
    • Comes with square gate by default but can be fitted with an octagonal gate.
    • High neutral and engage precision. 

    Compatble 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.

    Bundle with LS-56 octogonal gate!

    The Seimitsu LS 56 Octagonal Restrictor Plate is compatible with the LS-58, allowing you to get smooth 8-way movement similar to the Sanwa GTY.

    Flat MS Plate installed. VF, P=40 Flat and SS Plates Available

    The Seimitsu LS-56-01 joystick comes with a flat MS plate, which can install on MadCatz TE.  We also carry the Seimitsu VF Plate, which is often used in Hori joystick configurations, plus the flat and SS P=40 plate.  The P=40 is considered one of Seimitsu's most versatile plates.  The P-40 plate mounts on practically any "universal" mounting spot (HRAP 3 SA/SE or HRAP V3/VX SA) as well as seemingly "JLF-only" HRAP 3's and licensed HRAP's like the Arcana Heart 2 joystick (Thanks to SRK's GeorgeC for the explanation).

    Important

    LS-56-01 says "LS-33" on PCB, but is not LS-33. (more info)

    1. my favorite stick.

      I like the LS-56 because of the short throw distance, which enables me to execute commands faster than that of other sticks. The added resistance is nice too because it helps returning to neutral faster as well. I play SNK and Capcom fighters and I just love using this stick. What I also like is that if for some reason I grow tired of the extra resistance, focus attack offers many other compatible springs that I can swap in the LS-56. One day I will try out the 58 and 40 spring, but for now I am loving the resistance of the 56 coupled with the short throw. on Jan 29th 2016

    2. Get this stick for Shmups/STG/Shoot 'em ups, don't forget the Octo gate!

      You feel like you need more stick resistance than the LS-32-01 for Shmups/STGs/Shoot 'em ups? Get this stick. Once you switch you for the most part can't go back to the LS-32-01. After the switch I have more control over my ship/human/etc. in a Shmup where control is the utter most importance. Stick is very precise even in the most bullet-dense moments of a Shmup. A slight push is all you need to move very slightly and not move too much. From upgrading from the LS-32 it takes a slight adjustment due to the extra resistance but you get use to it quickly. There are minor differences between LS-56 and LS-58 but the LS-56-01 is a good improvement over the LS-32-01. If you need a Two-Way or Four-Way stick then you must use the LS-32-01 since from my understand it is the only Seimitsu that allows Two/Four-Way via its Restrictor Plate.

      Also highly recommend get the Seimitsu LS 56 Octagonal Restrictor Plate if you normally play you games riding the gate and one of the Kowal Mounting Plates for support of the majority of arcade sticks and control panels on Japanese Sit Down Candy cabs. If you currently use the LS-32-01 with the standard Seimitsu SS Mounting Plate pick up the Kowal SS Mounting Plate since it will support the LS-56-01 no problems. Installation is easy.       on Sep 10th 2015
