## Description

desertcart.com: SANWA JLF-TP-8YT Joystick Green Original - for Arcade Jamma Game 4 & 8 Way Adjustable, Compatible with Catz Mad SF4 Tournament Joystick (Green Ball Top) S@NWA : Video Games

Review: Good Quality - Great joystick for the price. switches felt responsive and easy to install.
Review: Great Stick for Fighting Games - I got this through Paradise Arcade via desertcart with the Octagonal Gate (sold separately). It came with everything as shown: harness, green ball top, dust washer and metal mounting plate. I noticed that there were multiple vendors selling this through desertcart and chose one based on seller reviews. I used this to swap out the stock stick in a Qanba Q1. It was a pleasant upgrade as the Qanba wiring harness works with the Sanwa JLF and the mounting holes line up exactly. I did have to re-use the mounting screws as the JLF comes with none. I opened up the stock Qanba stick and noticed that it used the same switches (Omron, made in Japan) as that of the JLF. As for feel, I do like the JLF, especially with the octagonal gate. It is so easy to pull off Ultras. The JLF size and spring tension feel just right and precise. The ball top is also of good quality on the JLF, better than the Qanba stock. So I now have a spare stick for future projects. Playing SSF4 AE is a charm with this on the PC. Real arcade parts and nice upgrade for the Q1.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Modifications were necessary to fit my machine
*by T***Y on June 5, 2025*

Works fine, much lighter movement compared to the original. At first I could not get these to work with the double 4 wiring harness in the machine so I decided to cut the ground circuit to each switch and solder on the old joystick connection. Perhaps there is a better choice to replace units with 8 wires , these only have 5 wires, or perhaps my initial wire attempt was wrong but either way they work. Not sure if they will be more durable but for the price I sure hope so.
