- Always wanted a Korean stick but doesn't fit in your fight stick? Maybe you like your Sanwa JLF but like the tensioning system from a Korean stick? Well the Otto Diy V2 kit allows you to mix both of the characteristics together for one completely unique design.

Dude, you're by far the best arcade stick hardware reviewer on RUclips. No one else goes as in-depth and puts in as much effort into editing as you. I hope your channel reaches further heights, friend.
Glad I could help!
If you like this gentlemen's content on this topic, checkout "HurtBoxTV" on RUclips. Similar content, but with beard powers lol.
Fairly in depth reviews, and honest opinions. Also it's a good channel to research what not to buy - like the AliExpress fight stick parts lol
I love your editing , mine is bad lol
Ohh man your work to fightsticks is great your channel is other good reference for me
Eloi Ferreira thank you ❤️🙏
@@JoystickNY when you going to be back to make videos man?
Just binge watched all your videos as I'm working on a FS myself.
Love your videos. you improve a lot from video to video.
Anyone can clearly see the insane amount of work you put into them. I'd say it pays off in the end.
Great job, can't wait for what you show us next!
Thanks man much appreciated! Atm im working on a korean lever round up but have a work related project thats put that on hold. Got a new logo, some japan arcade footage and some more in the works aswell ;).
3:55 I'm rocking that same monitor setup! Ultrawide on the bottom and 16:9 on top. I don't know how I got any work done before that.
Great review.
Justin Sison it's so convenient lol. Adventure and fps on the bottom then my fighting games up top. I might be moving to a single high refesh curved ultrawide tho but we'll see.
Sup!! Been a long time. I'm finally getting back into arcade sticks and fighting games and realy excited about the new Capcom collection. Also I wanted to say that the buttercage spring delete mod makes the V2 super fine. Using the 60 g heavier grommet with the spring delete mod, I absolutely do not ride the rails anymore. It is so smooth and just hitting the inputs without touching the gate is so weird and awesome.
This mod feels so much better than the Sanwa standard. Sanwa has an issue returning to neutral. This mod helps so much.
This looks awesome, I wanna see if I can use this on my analog arcade stick in some way (the grommet part at least)
Recomend This mod for shumps? Thanks
Wow very interesting, I’m accustomed to hayabusa lever and loved it, but sanwa is not my cup of tea as the throw is slightly further than the hayabusa, however tried a friend’s korean lever and i gotta say that thing is a banger.
yeah I was the same coming from a hyabusa -> semitsu -> jlf> and the korean levers. I think we all can agree though is once you find "that" lever thats great for yourself you just go from scrub to high tier scrub :)
Hey! Definitely appreciate the in-depth look! Can you speak at all to the stand you keep your fightstick on? Looks very classy.
Yeah i can lol, its just mac book stand with a motorcycle gear i had laying around to prop it up more :)

@@alexnostalgix Sweet!
I just installed this with the blue ring (highest tension), and I felt like it still pretty loose. Maybe I installed it wrong, but it didn't feel like it gave me the resistance and pushback of other Korean levers I've tried.
Hey man just started to watch all of your videos to know more about k levers (very helpful btw). I'm just wondering whether this kit will fit into my Razer Panthera Evo? Because I want to try k lever so bad but I don't want to cut the hole for my stick. Thanks alot for the video, keep it up bruh 👍
It should fit as it's just a modifies JLF. No change in mounting or size so if you fightstick should be fine. And thanks ^_^
Nice review and beautiful camera work! Can I ask, where did you get that metallic purple balltop? It is stunning. And is that purple battop a kdit kori one?
The Purple mirror balll top I got was from focusattack.com but it looks like they either sold out or don't carry them anymore and yes the Battop is a Kori Purple Battop. :)
@@alexnostalgix thanks a lot:) Yeah, focusattack do not have those now:( I saw that Sanwa made various metallic colors and demonstrated them at some event but they do not sale them yet, unfortunately.
@@janusblacklight6252 yeah i didnt realize that they were limited or just not in production anymore :(. Hopefully they will spring back up again!
Can you show a picture or video how to put on the silicone grease on that small part.
nice channel, Greetings from cancun
thanks friend! More to come!
Does it work on any Sanwa JLF model? I'm considering buying this kit.
I have a gaming pedestal and fitted two sanwa jlf's.
I had no idea how frustrating these joysticks are as they literally double-click all the time, causing input interference.
I initially blamed the switches, and wasted more money buying new circuit boards, I then purchased upgraded springs and a larger set of actuators, which then caused a lack of inputs.
I now have an otto v5 kit on order, and will hunt down the shuriken jlf solderless switch pcb. In other words, the sanwa is a terrible stick that is seriously flawed and has cost me triple the cost in the long run.
Does this with the the Optical PCB or the Magenta PCB? Does anyone know?
What if you want Korean micro switches?
Is compatible whit optical gamefinger ?
Hey mate, I've been looking a tad into Korean parts. Do they usually fit where Sanwa JLF's fit?
Is the quality between Fanta and Crown too different?
The size here, I meant it's height, as from what I've seen, some Korean sticks have a protrusion.
@@shocknawe Not all Korean levers have protrusion due to the collar. The Crown MJ, 303 Dong Pal, or something like the Golden Fanta are just plug and play. With that said some fight sticks can't even accommodate a Korean stick due to the actual size of thejoystick body. I'm currently doing to Korean stick video comparing a few but unfortunately its on the back burner do to work related projects. So keep an eye out for it!
Oof. I really wanted to pickup this kit (trying to build one single portable stick to play both 2D and 3D), but coming from a Fanta I'm not sure I could handle the opposite inputs when you let go of the stick. I've become too used to the Fanta's return to neutral.
Could you elaborate on what you were saying about changing how you hold it, or perhaps your feelings after playing with it more?
FWIW I mostly play Tekken tho my friends play SFIV and SamSho, which is my main motivation to get this kit.
I would keep my thumb, index, and middle finger on the ball top and rest my hand on the deck of fight stick. Then I would rest my ring finger on the shaft of the joystick for a little more control. Its not something I really think about since I started on a hyabusa and jlf from the start. Over time you wont even notice it and if you feel you have a heavy hand you can go with a heavier spring (2lbs preferably) and light ball top. Hope that helps!
Hey man, would you suggest something like this if I'd like to play with a Korean stick but also play 2D fighters like UNIST besides Tekken? Haven't tried Korean stick at all, and I play Mishimas. This is because I hear Korean sticks aren't that good for 2D or anime fighters, apparently. What do you think? Thanks a lot!
In my opinion it would be fine, I play blazblue crosstag every once in awhile. Korean can be just as good as any other joystick but ofcourse right out the gate you have way more travel distance compared to say a JLF or LS32. They aren't bad, just offer a different feel.
What is that shelf that you have your stick on? That is perfect for nicely displaying the collection.
I actually dont know what shelf your referring to lol
@@alexnostalgix The one @ 3:38 ruclips.net/video/VVQodFSRMj8/видео.html I know it's not made for fightsticks, but I don't even know what I'd search for to find one.
A Korean sanwa JLF lever...that's new.
Good for tekken ?
I want to get some happ style buttons , do you know where i can find and portable acrylic casing that isnt to small?
I think the BNB Fightstick from Jony Fraze might but i'm not 100% sure
If you could only use one Korean stick what would it be? I'm thinking of trying one but i don't want to ho through 10 different models to find a good one
For me it would probably be the V5, Fujin or Newer Myoungshin.
Since this is a mod to the JLF, I'm assuming the Phreakmod's Link, which is also a mod to the JLF, will be compatible with the Otto, right?
3 years late but yea it works perfectly!
@@dajuanvera-byers6788 respect you taking the time to reply even after all these years lol! I did end up making the Otto Phreakmod Frankenstein monster and it did work like a charm ☺️
OK Do you recomend This mod? Or It´s Better a Eurojoystick?
To be honest I haven't tried a eurostick, so I can't really say.
Oh, I forgot to say: Does the OTTO V2 feel like a CWL209? I read that on Reddit.
The Diy kit offers a similar feeling but in my opinion it doesn't feel like a korean lever completely only sharing the grommet characteristic. In regards to tension is where the 309mj would be a good comparison I guess.

I see. How about the diagonals? Those are my biggest concern, as I mostly play 2D fighters. I hear korean levers, in general, don't have the best corners and so far in my journey for my personal favorite stick, the stock JLF isn't it, as, to me, the diagonals seem awful to hit, even with a kowal actuator :/
more interested in which camera you are using
Sony A6500, nothing special
At 7:25, you bring up the issue of unwanted opposite inputs when you slap the stick in one direction and let it return to neutral, then say that it's not actually a fault of the kit itself.
Actually, it IS a fault of the kit. I installed the kit and had a similar issue myself, until I found a reddit comment describing it. The oversized actuators that come with the Otto DIY V2 kit have a diameter that is too wide to properly function with the JLF switches. I then swapped the Otto actuator with a Kowal oversized actuator that I purchased as the comment recommended, which matches the stock JLF actuator's widest diameter at that point, and the issue was diminished or eliminated entirely for normal use.
I just wanted to get this information out there in case anyone purchases the Otto kit after watching this video and finds themselves frustrated. It would be in your best interest to stick with the stock JLF actuator or purchase something like the Kowal actuator that is more carefully designed. Hopefully future iterations of the kit will fix this.
Below is an imgur album I put together with a link to the reddit comment, as well as a comparison between the stock JLF, Kowal, and Otto actuators.

I don't mean to say that it's impossible to get used to it, just that your initial feeling that something was off was justified.
Ok so I already have a bunch of different sized actuators. You're saying it's fine if I use one of them?
The otto diy sanwa, is this compatible to phreakmods?
Yes it is!
Yo! You need to try the spring delete mod from Buttercade on Etsy. It's legit
I keep hearing about it. I'll order it over the weekend!
does otto make an octagonal gate for this?
or will my current JLF octo gate fit on it?
@@hylanderOP As far as I know Otto do not make an octo gate. Your current gate will fit on it. However you may have to use a different actuator than the Otto one as it has a larger diameter on the mating surface that goes to the gate and would not "feel" right with the octo gate, to me anyway. I would try the rounded square gate first, as to me it is actually better than an octo. Once I got used to a square gate I stopped using octo's anyway but the rounded gate is really nice and works well with the oversized actuators.
will this be good on SFV?
i mean its still a jlf pretty much so yeah
Crazy how expensive little pieces of plastic and rubber can be :S
True. It surprises and disappoints me.
How does it feel compare to real korean
TEKKEN EnterMyDragon if your looking for a korean stick, I would just get one. This kit only provides the grommet feel but keeps its tension even in neutral compared to a korean stick where you only get resistance until you get closer to engaging the switch.
@@alexnostalgix so you mean to say you prefer the v2 with stock omron switch korean feel better than the real korean like crowns? The benefit i see using this ottodiy is the use of phreakmods that korean stick is not possible to do
TEKKEN EnterMyDragon no I mention in the video I prefer a korea stick over the V2 Kit. Yeah Jlfs always get the good stuff first
Do the hayabusa
No.
Ahh shit a Jlf Korean vibes lever??
if i didnt know any better i say your into drifting
What makes you say that? :)
@@alexnostalgix In other videos i see wallpapers of 240SX i cant remember them all but there alot of drift related stuff i see in your backgrounds in other videos.
@@kord3ddesigns I shoot drifting every so often. Been into drifting since the late 2000's
@@alexnostalgix i knew u was involved with drifting in some way or another lol you play any sim racers ?
@@kord3ddesigns not atm but due to the world events friends have been wanting me to get in on it. Forza used to be my thing for awhile though.
Or by practicing you SCRUBBB..!! LOL
