Sanwa joystick JLX-TP-8YT

The Joystick Sanwa JLX-TP-8YT is the NEW upgrade of the famous JLF. Equipped with a 4/8 way restrictor and JST connector.

The difference between JLF and JLX.

JLX-P-2 M base material changed from nylon to POM (polyacetal resin).
It is less susceptible to environmental influences such as temperature and humidity.

By increasing the thickness of the washer for the M base, rattling of the washer during operation is reduced.

Adjusted the shape inside the M base where the bearing fits.
Less rattling of the bearing than before.

Changed bearing material from POM to nylon.
Abrasion resistance and slidability against the M base are enhanced.

The material of the micro printed circuit board is changed from paper phenol to CEM-3.
It is less likely to warp than paper phenol and has improved durability.

Uses a white actuator JLF-P-W. (The same actuator in JLF-TPRG-8BYT-SK).
It has higher dimensional stability in molding than the conventional black actuator and reduces variations in input accuracy.
In addition, it is about 0.12mm thicker (0.24mm in diameter) than the black actuator, but it was adopted because of its good usability by location tests and e-sports gamers.

Combinations of the same materials have poor slidability and wear rapidly.
JLF bearings and JLX M base (POM), JLF M base and JLX bearings (Nylon) are not recommended.
