Crown joysticks
« on: November 24, 2013, 11:23:33 pm »
I just saw these for the first time on Paradise Arcade's site. I then did some online searching and found some videos.
They look like a pretty solid stick and they actually use a centering grommet so they have that nice quick centering.
  Any one currently using them?

Damn those are nice joysticks!!!

oh wait.. ummm.... :cheers:

Actually I think the crown and the LS-56 get too little love.  The LS-56 with a four way restrictor is IMO the nicest 4 way joystick on the market.  Tight, quick and stiff.

Hey you don't count. :)

Does the 4 way still use a rubber centering grommet?

It seems like a lot of fighter stick guys are swapping out their JLFs for these.

I saw one where it looked almost like the bat top was heavy rubber. Is this right?

Never mind the last question, the ls56 is a seimitsu so I'm sure it uses a spring.

Are there crowns with 4way restrictors?

Crown's do not, yet.

They are, and they are nice, but it's a bit of a fad also.
Nothing wrong them, it's all about feel.
