Bit Bang Gaming Shuriken V1 JLF PCB

This is an aluminium core, high strength PCB allowing after market microswitches to be used on the Sanwa JLF joystick.

Since this product is a drop-in replacement to the entire standard JLF microswitch assembly (TP-MA), users can opt to implement the Shuriken in a number of different scenarios.  For instance;

• As an easier way to replace faulty or worn out individual microswitches, rather than having to de-solder the original PCB or throw out the entire PCB which may still have good functioning switches.
• As a method of allowing greater access to aftermarket and different tension microswitches for individual tuning and competitive play support.

The Shuriken provides an easy drop-in replacement, requiring no soldering or electronic expertise whatsoever. It is fully compatible with other aftermarket kits such as the OTTO DIY V2 & V5 kits as well as the Sanjuk V3 joystick.

An excerpt from an official statement from Sanwa Denshi about the BBG Shuriken: "...we find Bit Bang Gaming's "SHURIKEN", a PCB that can be changed to a switch of your choice, to be a particularly interesting product...we are grateful for the appearance of SHURIKEN". (Sanwa Denshi 2022 via Twitter)

The Shuriken accepts .250 fastener type Omron V and Omron D3V microswitches of all tensions (60+ compatible at last count), permitting user preference of switches at a wide range of operating forces.

Importantly so, the JLF Shuriken still utilises the standard 5 pin connector to attach to wiring harnesses, eliminating the need for any special adapters.

This Version 1 (V1) of the Shuriken is now discontinued and will not be restocked. All future inventory will be the V2 Shuriken.
