Sanwa Denshi JLX2-TPML-8YT-SK variable silent switch joystick

Sanwa Denshi's new flagship joystick, the JLX2, is a further evolution beyond the prior iteration of the JLX. Sanwa Denshi introduced key design features to improve stability, smoothness and prevent rebound inputs. 

For the JLX2, the following improvements have been made:

• Use of the JLF P-5 black actuator (15.8mm) versus the JLF P-W white actuator (16.2mm) to regain the JLF response and feel some players say was missing from the JLX.
• Redesign of the metal washer and housing from a round to a cross shape to prevent rotational movement which will reduce input rebound and assist diagonal shaft traversal.

The same five (5) position silent adjustable Omron microswitch PCB is in place with this variant that was present on the JLX. Each of the four (4) microswitches can be individually tuned for gameplay preferences and advantages unique to the player.

A small adjustable dial is easily accessible and turned in small increments using a flathead screwdriver. We highly suggest for maximum accuracy and to reduce damage, using a custom made carbon fibre part from Murakumo Arts here: Murakumo Arts carbon fibre leaf lever adjustment pin (for JLX-TPML-8YT – Close Quarters Battle Arcade

Full JLF upgrade parts compatibility exists with the JLX2, similar to the JLX. All previous design improvements of the JLX have been carried over to the JLX2. 

The same JLF/JLX incompatibilities exist such as:

• The JLX2 pivot is incompatible with the JLF.
• The JLX2 joystick body is incompatible with the JLF body.
• The JLX2 metal washer is incompatible with the JLF.
• Mixing combinations of parts will have poor frictional attributes and lead to rapid wearing (ie. JLF pivot and JLX2 body, JLF body and JLX2 pivot is not recommended)
