Genuine Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT 5 Pin Joystick

Joystick movement is very smooth. NOTE: Mine came with the plug facing right. Simple fix to change it to the correct position.

I'm too old and too new to give any feedback on playability, but I like it better than what came in the Super Pac-Man PartyCade. Shipping was fast, and a much needed cable that i didn't order came included; because DIYretro knows what they're doing. Thanks a bunch!!! (I put the stock A1UP in a homemade laptop hybrid thingy, made form an old printer desk)

I felt only two minor differences between this Sanwa and the stock joystick in the Arcade1up XMvSF cabinet: The "click" feedback and tension. Slightly better feedback. The tension in the stock stick has slightly MORE tension than the Sanwa. Even replacing with a 2lb spring made no difference to me. I'm probably a more aggressive player and put muscle into my wrist actions so maybe some subtleties are lost on me.

I ordered a Sanwa joystick with wire harness and a blue transparent bat style handle and 4 pound spring for it. The joystick works great, especially with the 4 pound spring. Th only issue I had was everything came loose in a bag and my joystick handle smashed into something along the so it had a crack and a blemish on it. I'm not sending it back as it was only a $5 item but it was basically for looks and it doesn't look that good.

Very satisfied with the action and stiffness of the joystick. A must have for enthusiasts. Joystick does make clicking sounds with movement (like others do). Other than that it’s a must have for cabinets. Will purchase SANWA again
