My order was a small one (a trial run with paradise) consisted of a few Jamma edge's, which were fine, and 2
Seimitsu LS-32 / Zippyy Joystick upgrade Kits. This upgrade kit is just a set of 4 Zippy microswitches with softer actuation, and noise.
The description reads:
Four light-weight lever arm Zippy microswitches are the perfect modification for your Zippyy or Seimitsu LS-32. These custom produced switches virtually eliminate noise and the snappy feel of the heavier microswitches.
Now, I gotta say, I love these switches. I got them for shump/shooter gameplay, installing them on my LS-32's.
They're light, less noisy, and are a great upgrade from the stock LS-32 switches.
BUT...on my LS-32's I use the official round gates, and while these switches are great with a square-gate, they completely fail using the round one!
For some reason, perhaps because of the light action, the diagonal directions on the round gates does not actuate consistently! It will sometimes miss hitting two switches at once for the diagonals, resulting in much swearing and losing of ships during gameplay.
I've let Bryan know this, and that he should probably update his page to note this quirk.
The LS-32 joystick is the shmupper's joystick of choice, and having switches like these would be great! But folks like me enjoy the smooth action of a round gate over the square during these games, and this kit is not suitable for that. If you're a fighting game fan, and use LS-32's with square gates, these are the switches for you.
