Sanwa JLW. Anyone still using them? Did some mods

I replaced the happ ultimates with the Sanwa JLW's and what a world of a difference.  One thing i didnt like though was how loud it was and clicky.  Luckily i had some happ supers lying around with cherry switches and levers :)  Swapped them out and now im in heaven  :applaud:  Did you know that the switches in the JLW have springs in them as well to make them super stiff.  I only have about 1/2" sticking out of the pannel and was able to add another 1/4" by putting a bolt on the shaft and only screwing the ball down half way.  Not experiencing any issues due to me doing that.

If any of you were thinking about switching out, DO IT!!!  If you want it a bit quieter and smoother, order some cherries with levers on them cause the levers on the sanwa switches are not compatable.

I've got some JLWs and am pretty pleased with them so far. I installed Ultimarc's octagonal restrictors (for their U360s) on my JLWs as well as harder springs, they are now MUCH BETTER joysticks than what they were stock.

You can just open the Sanwa micro switches and swap the levers to the Cherry switches, I seen someone on here do that. It's easy to do.

Tried that and the sanwa levers are a bit bigger from what i see.  They wouldnt fit for me  :embarassed:

And as for fighting games?  AWESOME!  dragon punches all day long and fireballs :)
