Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick + Sanwa 8 pcs OBSF-30 Push Button Bundle Kit Color : White - for Arcade Game 4 & 8 Way Adjustable, Compatible with Catz Mad SF4 Tournament Joystick S@NWA

The Sanwa buttons and lever both work great and are easy to install into my stick without using solder

Work fine but one of the buttons had damage on them? It still works but sad that its so heavily scuffed out of the box. Im guessing its due to them cramming all the parts in a tiny box. Edit: updating this review. The scuffed button actually is broken. The actuator is not as responsive as the others giving it a completely different feel.

If you are building or modifying a stick, you cant do better than Sanwa for value and classic feel. I wont recommend japanese over korean parts, or vice versa, but japanese parts feel clickier and more standardized in a way. Look elsewhere if you are looking for the feel of korean machines.

For a hobby, I was gutting an old MadCatz fightstick using this kit and a zero delay USB encoder for use with RetroPie- as the original encoder didnt work right on it. The install was a breeze and everything worked great and feels solid. The biggest adjustment for me will be getting used to how sensitive the buttons and stick are compared to the old ones.

Unfortunately when I installed it; only Right control responded, went to disassemble it, noticed there was a lot of paste in each quadrant

I was first tipped off when the parts didnt fit in the standard hole size. On further inspection, I realized that these arent actually Sanwa parts. Sanwa parts made in Japan, but the packaging says theyre made in China.

Sanwa control stick and buttons work and look amazing on my Mayflash F300.

I have been using consistently since purchase and it looks and works perfectly.

Sanwa products are the best!! The only negative on my order was that the buttons were scratched and had to return them.

All the clips on the cheap joysticks in my Pandoras Box retro arcade console had broken and rendered the console useless. Purchased a couple of Sanwa joysticks and buttons as replacments. It changed the experience entirely. The responsiveness is better than when the console was new. One note: the default configuration has the restrictor plate in 4-way mode. Most will likely prefer it in 8-way mode so dont forget to change the configuration before installing.
