Seimitsu LS-32-01-SUS Joystick (w/metal pivot)
The most popular Seimitsu joystick, renowned for overall quicker movements and moderate engage distances.
This LS-32-01 variant comes equipped with the metal pivot (LS-32-MB) already inserted at the factory, along with a MS P-50 mounting plate. The spring strength on this variant has been increased by approximately 20% and the shaft fastener changed to an E-ring type.
In addition, this variant is a "no shaft cover" diameter joystick and enjoys the benefits that the metal pivot provides to the user operation and experience. Pivots will greatly influence the feel of a joystick in general. As a result, the LS-32-01-SUS is a heavier tensioned, yet smoother feel joystick.
The standard pivot in a LS-32 and LS-32-01 is a resin moulded item. With this stainless steel version in place, users can expect easier directional characteristics in the LS-32's due to the lower friction co-efficient the metal provides. In addition, users have noted to be able to feel the microswitch activation in the ball top due in part to this metal pivot.
(Note: Seimitsu. Co. recommend regular maintenance is carried out in the form of Shin-Etsu G-501 grease being applied to the LS-32-MB.)
