Silent JLW switches?

[edekoning]

Many shops seem to carry silent switches for Sanwa JLF's and or Seimitsu LS-32's. But I never saw any silent switches for a Sanwa JLW. Does anybody know of a shop that sells silent switches for JLW's, or can I just use the JLF silent switches?

[emphatic]

Well, unless the "JLF switches" are attached to a PCB, like the one that the JLF originally comes with, you should be able to use these switches, no problem.

Both GGG and Paradise have soft switches for use with JLW.
Personally I like the cherry switches like used on happ supers. That what I use in my JLWs.
If you're talking about the optical switches for the JLF like the spark or flash1, then no I don't know of one for the JLW

The "soft" switches aren't the same as the "silent" Omron switches sold on fight stick sites.
According to the video, the model is Omron D2RV-G (they ain't cheap)
They are standard size and would work in a JLW, but you might have to disassemble them to add the levers or find a model with the same length levers already attached.  The ones from the fight stick sites won't include them.

I'm guessing that the guy in the video still has a pcb attached for the sake of spacing.





EDIT: Levered version is model D2RV-L (or LG for more force) http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/307/en-d2rv-12477.pdf
$15 each at Mouser.

I see Paradise Arcade Shop is selling non-levered ones for $8

Make JLW silent with GGG Versa Micro Switch's.

@badmouth

4 switches per stick * 2 sticks = way too much, damn those are expensive switches

@ond

Thanks for the pictures! I see those switches are about 2,50, so 10 per stick which is ok. I'll pick them up the next time I order from groovygamegear.


Just out of curiosity, but are all joysticks generally as loud as the JLW's?

Well I know both JLWs and JLFs are loud.
Cherry switches like found in happ and il sticks are barely audible once installed in a cp

And the soft switches from GGG really have no audible click.
