Probably the best video I've seen for removing the eclip even after all these years. Thanks you.
Perfect video - fitted my new actuator and 4Ib spring as shown. Thanks for giving me the confidence to make the mod.
Just got mine in the mail! can't wait for Street Fighter IV/V and Mortal Kombat X to come out on PS4!
Just installed one of these with a 2lb spring in my JLF, improved the feel of the stick alot. Tried a 4lb spring but that was too much for me
Same, but I added the octagonal gate as well and now the throw is a bit too large. I wish there was a smaller octagonal gate for the JLF. I guess I'll have to put on the square gate again for now. And I'd personally like the engage distance to be even smaller, like on my old Suzo 'The Arcade' joysticks (with Atari connector). They have a super short engage with the throw almost as short, matched with a spring of exactly the right stiffness. Also the fire button touch on mine is as light as the Sanwa buttons, without bottoming out.
I used a 2.5 and then a 3 from Paradise arcade shop, now using a 4, trust me on this that yes everyone's style and preference is different, but after a bit of time I felt the 3 loosen a little, the 4 has now broken in a little and is perfect, the first couple of days it is quite hardcore but try breaking it in a bit and you may find the perfect tension for you as the springs will always loosen a bit from their stock feeling 🕹, I'm not aiming to go higher than a 4 it feels just right, but there are 5 lbf, 6 and 9
Just ordered mine last night along with 2lb Tension Spring for my Arcade Fighter on the Wii (I assume it uses Sanwa JLF).
I'm ordering this thank you sir!
Anyone going from a JLW to a JLF will definitely want one of these. The throw is massive and feels clunky compared. I just got a Mayflash F500 and it was night and day to the JLW on my arcade cab.
mr2nut123 Hey mate. Didn't quite that at the end. So...the night and day difference: is the JLW better or worse than the JLF in your opnion, and do you mean stock JLF or Kowal JLF?
Cheers
@@shocknawe JLW is better imo, but only because of the stock throw. This kowal actuator is a must.

Im wondering because I too have both JLF and JLW sticks, however, I feel like corners are like, so hard to be hit, it's mental, on the JLF.
I'm really curious as to if mine is simply defective. I can't even fathen as to how come pros and others say to NOT ride the gate. If I don't, it skips diagonals entirely, and even when I do, it hits diagonals probably 1/3 or 2/3 of the time.
The JLW, to me, feels too heavy, and as thd spring is different from other sticks, I can't switch it. Im trying to get mylself a round or octo gate for it, as maybe that could do the trick for me.
Going to try this w/ an 8-way gate. Hopefully it isn't terrible :)
I think I have the opposite problem: too easy to hit a diagonal when I want a cardinal. The stock Sanwa JLF both hits diagonal going from forward to down in dragon punch, plus accidentally jump forward during fireballs.
Do you sell "undersized actuators"? But with a "mostly square, but slightly Octo" Gate? (Cardinals bigger than diagonals)
glorious tutorial
Can this actuator be used with the Sanwa 8-way restrictor gate for the JLF stick?
great vid
Nice video thanks
Thank you sir
Whats better for fighting? 1mm, 1.5mm or 2mm. I have sanwa jlx and i feel long distance and that makes not fast moves. Tks
Would this actuator pretty much fit on a Jiffy arcade joystick?
here i find oversized actuators for hori hayabusa ?
Excellent vid, thank you!
what if I only wanna reduce throw?
Bout to slide one of these in an Otto Modded V5 JLF as the ones that come in the kit are too large for my taste.
Hopefully this is comparible to the acrylic plates for the Seimitsu LS56. That's what I currently use but I have a new JLF sitting around because I want to have the Link EX Groove so I can store my fight stick safely, but that thing just drops inputs like mad because of it's ridiculously long throw.
I have a stock Sanwa and when trying to do diagonal it register as D and F individually. I cannot get the damn dragon punch to trigger because it always come out as a fireball.

How durable are these ?
Where do I purchase an octagon gate for my Silent Hori Joystick ?
paradise arcade shop dot com
Can't find someone selling it in my country, so roll a tape around the stock actuator to make it 1 mm thicker in diameter. Basically the same LOL. 🤷♂️😁
I'm still not sure if I like the oversized actuator for fighting games. Found it useful for shmups and other neo geo games.
what about the oversized actuator dont you like for fighting games?
Would a larger actuator help with instant air legs in SFV?
4 years later but I'm gonna order one see since I'm a Chun main myself. Looking at some details it should because it reduces the space from the lever to hit the switches. Since instant air legs requires really fast inputs then it should help.
I need help just bought a 2lb spring and oversized actuator installed on my rap n now they joystick isn't smooth. What did I do wrong?
hey dude, im having the same problem, did you end up fixing it?
@@reakorkacho5405 i didnt sorry
Will this oversized actuator be okay if I have the octagonal restrictor gate in the joystick installed?
Its actually meant to be used with the octo gate. From what I've read you can't use the stock actuator if you're using the kowal octo gate.
Great video! My Killer Instinct Sanwa JLFs have been bouncing back when I'm playing Maya and Dash Jumping, reeking all kind of havoc after tossing my daggers. I'm stuck waiting for Focus Attack to reopen their website. It's down for maintenance and back this Saturday July 18th at Midnight. As thanks, they're having a 15% Wake Up Sale!! So I'll be getting 4 sets of actuators and springs.. ;) Gotta tighten up my KI sticks and get my PS3 TE Sticks ready for SFV! I hope the actuator works well with octagon restrictor gates...?
These are legal for tournaments, right?
stop talking out your ass hit boxes are not illegal in tournaments
JustOTGFrame what a dumbass...
Only fightsticks equipped with a meth compartment.
Beary FUCKING Nice Actually, Hitbox are closer to keyboards than pads
Do they make these for hori or it wont matter
+hectec69 Shouldn't matter, Hori Hayabusa are almost rip offs of Sanwa
+2spooky lol I ditched it and bought x arcade tank stick and put in il-eurosticks instead
Can i buy actuator for seimitsu Ls-56?
LS-56 already has very short throw, the actuator is practically touching all four switches due to the compact design. not sure if you can even fit a much bigger one
Song name at the end???
This is true love we're makin - Capcom vs Snk 2
Wtf did I just watch a movie or what??? 🤣🤣🤣 3:28
I think I f*cked up my stick...
3:23 what's the music?

@@seansoni thank you sm
Has anyone tried this with an octo gate or circle? Is the benefit still the same?
Tried it out today. Impressive increase in accuracy with octo-gate.
@@ChienandKun do i need to replace the spring for more tension with this actuator and octo gate
please let me know from your trying
actually i dont like more tension
@@ahmedpc03 Nah, you're fine. I'm pretty sure I went back to the stock actuator too.
@@ChienandKun stock better ?
@@ahmedpc03 There's more leeway. The actuator feels restrictive.
3:04
That's strangely arousing...
What part the song, or how well fits the actuator
@ 3:05 Ohh I see it now.. kind of ‘gloryhole-ish’
Geez once you see that, you cannot un-see it.. 🤣
Did i just watch a viagra commercial?
Seems like this would encourage bad habits like gate riding...
tuna with bacon
Tech Core or bacontuna
It's pronounced koval
How is this better than tape on the original part, other than just to make money ?
This little piece of plastic is like $5. No thanks.
Just use electrical tape
