Seimitsu LS-32 Joystick (no shaft cover)
The most popular Seimitsu joystick, renowned for overall quicker movements and moderate engage distances.
Two (2) mounting plates available.
This version is the non-PCB variant requiring .187 fasteners for operation (ie. for mounting in an arcade cabinet).
Background and information - The original beginnings of the Street Fighter 2 craze in Japan was deeply connected to the Seimitsu LS-32 joystick. For instance, the Japanese SF2 arcade cabinets featured LS-32’s as stock and is therefore the equipment many of the best players of the era learned to play on. To this day, many Japanese players insist on using LS-32’s for Street Fighter 2.
Unfortunately, cheap clones of the LS-32 have appeared as the “Zippy” joystick. There is no reason to buy the clones when the affordable Japanese authentic LS-32 is a high quality, fast, responsive and precise joystick. Most recently, it was standard equipment on many Japanese “candy cabinets” such as the Versus City head-to-head machine.
Additionally, full manufacturer and aftermarket support parts are available for the Seimitsu LS-32 to cater for all styles of play and mounting applications (ie. short throw mod, round restrictor gate, coloured+extended shaft, replacement ball/bat tops, flat mount and arcade cabinet mounting plates).
