Customise Arcade Joysticks - Sanwa vs Seimitsu vs Generic Brands
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- This video compares the design and customisation methods for Sanwa, Seimitsu and generic brand arcade joysticks stocked at Highway Entertainment. The video outlines how to switch joystick tops and change the allowed directional movements the joystick may make (e.g. 8-way, 4-way or 2-way movements).
Some people prefer Seimitsu joysticks as it is easy to visualise how they may be disassembled, as it is held together by phillips head screws. Sanwa parts may be replaced without removing tools as lugs hold the assembly together and may be disassembled by squeezing and twisting lugs and catches.

set to 1.25speed
Lol!
Make that 1.5
@@kevinthomas5667 Sounds drunk if you bump it down to .75
yoooo thanks
Lmao. 1.25 makes it sound normal basicly.
Is this video slowed down? Because 1.25 speed sounds like it makes much more sense!
You forgot about fanta and crown korea sticks.
this is what i was looking for
I found there's not really much price difference between high end vs knockoff,
may as well go with japanese ones.
Zippy sticks are great,just change the microswitches to better ones (Omron,Cherry,etc) and there is actual no difference with Seimitsu LS-32
Great video to understand the differences!
I prefer the seimitsu cause it's the easiest to replace and the short shaft is better for me while playing fighting games. Everyone will recommend a sanwa over a seimitsu for Street Fighter, Kof etc, but you should try for yourself. I always used sanwa, last year there was a seimitsu on sale. I was a little bit pissed that I've never tried one, combos and moves work so much better for me with a seimitsu.
Thanks for your feedback. We actually use the Seimitsu with fixed plate for retro games. We have never had issues with this joystick, very reliable.
Seimitsu has the better octo gate by a mile. At least on the LS-55.
Though that's a pretty niche case I suppose
What happened to IL and HAPP sticks?
Is that true that the quality of the Happ Joystick dropped since the merge happened?

I heard about chinese joysticks called Seupem. Do you know something about it?
Great video. Ive found both Sanwa and Seimitsu sticks are awesome and of equal quality. Its really about what type of games you want to specialise in, if you want more universal gameplay over all genres and what your prefference for feel is. Theres not a right answer but each player will find a combination of stick, spring, actuator and gate that feels best for certain types of games. You cant go wrong with either brand. I was using a Hayabusa stick for a while and found I was mostly playing shooters on my stick. The Hayabusa has more deadzone and is looser which suits fighters better. I switched over to a Seimitsu 62 and was able to make micro adjustments much better for shooters. The bat top also reduced slippage and felt more precise. Still prefer the Hayabusa for fighters but am mostly a pad user when it comes to those.
Thanks for your review, we totally agree. Its all personal preference. We hope to have new videos shortly on a number of new joystick/button models, some look really great with illuminated lighting, but on a professional level they are not so great for hardcore gamers.
@@highwayarcade Glad to contribute. Reviews of the luminated buttons would be interesting. Im looking to put the Hayabusa joystick in another base. The Mayflower F500 seems good for that. I was considering going with LED buttons, bat top but wouldnt want to sacrifice gameplay quality. I noticed the LED buttons are usually made by a generic company.
Highway Entertainment,
I know you mostly deal with the Joystick types mentioned in your video. I was wondering if you've ever tried Happ joysticks (competition version mainly since I guess that's their top of the line). More importantly I guess, if you could speak on Sanwa vs Happ. I've heard good things about Happ and that they more mimic the style of American arcades in the 80s, but I can't imagine Sanwa disappointing.
Thank you for your time!
Honestly i love the Hori Hayabusa but since my current case wont accommodate it i bought the generic seimitsu clone, and i must say it's not bad. For 9$ compared to 22$ .
Sounds like crap. Btw the Hori one is HORIble! See what I did there?
It's "You get what you pay for".
The toilets flush the other way and they say phrases the other way too
What is the common cause of failure in these joysticks?
is it posible to do korean motions with jlf
How would I plug a Sanwa 4 way into my Raspberry Pi??!
What about Hayabusa?
I own the seimitsu ls32 is the only one to minus it is to change from 8 way to 4 way you have to unscrew the screws and u competitors can do this twist the joystick if not the one for me important minus this ls32 would be for me the best joys what are ;(
IF i have an arcade stick with a sanwa stick which has flat plate and i want to installa a seimitsu ls32, can i do it without a problem?
Mate, your voice is amazing :)
The only joystick anyone needs is a Seimitsu LS-40.
NIce video, thanks.
would any body help me about last prices for agood kind of joystick and buttons .. ?? thanks for all
Hi What joystick arcade you recommend under fighter 2D 3D, shmups, and other games like the punisher Cadillac & Dinosaurs, pang etc Universal joystick plis help me.
I am just above choice and I don't know which to choose I just thought above mad stick the pro or the plus but now, but now alone I don't already know.
what you think about zippy, I know that they are cheap but whether so bad ??
Do you still stock Seimitsu cant see it on your site.
sorry we no longer stock Seimitsu.
I'm lost so I did not need to buy a Oct when I could have turn the damn square
No it only adjusts the amount of inputs
Any idea what is the closest chinese copy for a Sanwa stick?
You can find them easily at AliExpress.
The difference is around $10-$12.
The original sanwa and the generic one are switched.
at least the metal plate is '-'
WHICH generic one?
can you recommend me a joystick that will be long enough to fit 18mm mdf or are they all height adjustable
+imGlobL Any long shaft joystick. You can review some of our models here: www.arcadespareparts.com/search.html?search_for=joystick
Korean joysticks in my opinion are the best for fighting games
Hi!
I growed up playing american style joysticks in the arcade houses.
Now I own a Sanwa joystick (currently using Octagonal Gate, the only modification I've made till the moment) and when I try to Play *The King of Fighters 98* , I'm having a really hard time to make Desperation Moves like...
*↓ ↙ ← ↙↓↘ →*
Or
*↓↘ →↘↓↙←*
Two things really confuses me:
1) I didn't have any problem at all to do those commands in american style joysticks.
2) It _only_ happens in The King of Fighters *98* . When I try in other games (Like KOF 98 or Snk Vs Capcom), I don't have any problem.
Anyone has or had the same problem?
The biggest hurdle for me with Sanwa+square gate is doing the classic bnb combo of:
d+A,d+B,f+A, qcf hcb P.
The df on the qcf is ALWAYS missing. Can't pull it off consistently. I heard KOF games are pretty much seimitsu's territory.
Coballes19 Maybe you should try the octagonal restrictor.
I really hate long inputs. However, it takes a lot of practice. Sadly it’s still going to have a fail rate. All input is time sensitive and not to mention the opponent can react.
I spend a lot of time in practice. I still fail a lot, and find it almost hard to pull off large inputs during serious vs matches.
So if I were to buy a joystick should I buy Seimitsu or Sanwa
I've used both (I'm pretty sure although noone explictly said, 'This is X' - the feel fit tthe general. Sanwas are a bit looser while Seimitsus feel tighter and have a shorter throw in general. They're preferred by shoot'em up players (I've played a shoot'em up with a Sanwa JLF and it's impossible unless you mod it or something.
The video does not mention that the buttons are also different. Sanwas activate very fast with little pressure. I personally like resting ny fingers on the buttons so I wasn't a fan of this.
The Hori Hayabusa is a relatively new stick design that is also very good (I've used it often for 2 years until very recently, across all arcade genres). People generally prefer Sanwa parts for fighters but I've used Hori parts for them just fine. I didn't get to purchase my own Seimitsu parts yet but I've heard they can be used for fighters as well. The only rule I'll give you is don't bother using Sanwa parts for shoot'em ups unless you plan on modding them for something (actually Sanwa buttons would be fine but not a Sanwa stick). Also there are many different brands amongst the same vendor (in particular Seimitsu). Most like the LS-32 (buy the new one 2017 model, comes with a shaft cover), but I've heard good things about the LS-56 often enough but I haven't tried it to my knowledge.
Antoni Vi thanks for the help
Stefano Pavone all right I'll look into it
“You pay for what you get..” 🤦🏻♂️
I would take an Industrias Lorenzo over the Japanese sticks, regardless of what the Fight stick fan boys may say. The idea that they are more rugged then the Happ/IL design is laughable. The better argument is they have a more delicate control. But for rugged use I think the IL's are tougher, and will last longer. You also forgot the Korean sticks.
SargNickFury Thanks for the comment! This video is just on joysticks Highway Entertainment has for sale, which is why there is no mention of IL or Korean sticks. But we listen to customer and social media feedback, and perhaps we will consider stocking those sticks in the future...
I think the reality is an IL a Sanwa a Crown will all do the job......but ultimately it's about nostalgia for many and what they loved in Arcades....for me the IL's remind me of what arcades used to be when I grew up, and they're made with better quality then the now Chinese happ stuff. Rugged and made for abuse.....But then I am using it more for arcade type games and not modern fighters. IL is a Jeep, and Sanwa is a sports car.....I'm a jeep guy.
+Highway Entertainment is your website legit to order from..no scam? im interested
We are a legitimate business with offices in Australia and Hong Kong, which is why we run this RUclips channel, to promote ourselves. And our website www.arcade-game-sales.com/ is legitimate, otherwise Google would have pulled us from their search results, and taken down our RUclips account!
