eek.. and those look like the sucky ones that come with X-Arcade parts...  I'd order some Cherry switches from Happs or whoever carries them.. Lizard Lick? Tornado Terry.. Bob Roberts..  everybody should have em right?

You could always just sell your JLF and buy a JLW and use the standard independent terminals on that, unless of course you bought a JLF for a particular reason (whick I would be interested to know as im trying to decide which stick to buy myself.)

EDIT: JLF not JTF  ::) Apologies, JTF is a trade outlest near me that I got a card for today, must have it on the brain!   :dizzy:

do not buy cherry. they are soft. JLF need medium or hard microswitches 100-200g.you can use honeywell also W/O plain lever

m8 you are awesom! just what i was looking for!
thanks

o and by the way the reason i dont want to go for the JLW is becouse it has a longer stick (jncreased throw) and is a bat top- its a shooter stick not a fighter stick.


iam lookingt at buyin a semisu LS 32- this have no pcb right? but the LS 32 1 does?)

You can get the JLW in ball top or bat top.. but everyone does seem to think the JLF is better for fighters.  I'm about to order one of each and try them out.  I like the rotating restrictor on the JLW.. not sure why they didnt design the JLF that way...

JLW 7mm
JLF 7,5mm
he has shorter throw:) stick is higher but angle is smaller (JLW 7degree, JLF 8degree)

main difference then spring: 350g-JLW, 210g-JLF
I will JLW+ GT -0 to fighters

japan version JLW balltop has short throw 5-6mm. only Euro/US version has medium throw.

I didnt quite understand what you meant on that..  Do you agree that the JLF is better for fighters and JLF better all around?  or is it a matter of preference?   I just like the rotating restrictor of the JLW.. but I've never used one. I might hate it :)

GT-0 is circle restrictors for JLW, I play on it and this is the best mechanical (microswitches) joystick for me.

surely its matter of preference, but - seimitsu LS32/LS40/LS56 is very similar  than JLF and work better (fast centring to center, fast engage)
