Seimitsu LS-56-SC-K (.187" Fastener Type) Joystick with MS Plate

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.

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

The Seimitsu LS-56 joystick comes with the MS plate, which is often used in Sanwa compatible mounts.  We also carry plus the flat VF, 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).
