Sanwa JLXD-TP-8YT Detachable shaft joystick

***As of late April 2025 the JLX has been discontinued by Sanwa Denshi and will be superseded by the JLX2 joystick line. Restocks of the JLX cannot be guaranteed***

This is the Sanwa Denshi official detachable shaft option JLX joystick.

Functionally, this JLX variant with a detachable shaft, is exactly the same as the regular JLX except for the detachment mechanism.

The screw type detachment mechanism is devoid of any rattling during use and feels the same as a normal JLX.

For detaching operation: The user hand tightens/loosens the visible shaft on/off, requiring no tools and no opening of the arcade stick/cabinet.

Sanwa has separately made available a carabiner affixed lever shaft holder (JLFD-A) for the removed shaft/balltop so users can stow away those parts for storage/travel.

Please note: This version replaces the discontinued JLFD-TP-8YT joystick.
