Seimitsu SELS-70X-01 joystick

The newest release joystick from Seimitsu has a very impressive list of game enhancing, quality of life and installation features which will appeal to fans of the LS-56 and shmup players generally.

From the outset, a non-rotatable shaft has been designed exclusively for this joystick, which adheres to the blueprint of gameplay enhancing characteristics requested by champion Tekken player Nobi. The shaft itself is an NT removable type, therefore users will benefit from the height adjustment features. Additionally, this means the shaft (and balltop) can be removed for safe storage if needed. The spring utilised in the SELS has also been designed for stopping rotation and is approximately 20% harder than a standard LS-56 spring.

A specially made metal pivot is fitted by default for the SELS joystick, forming part of the mechanical rotation prevention and leading to smoother directional motions for the user due to the known beneficial friction characteristics. The well regarded NOBI octagonal gate is another default fitted feature of this joystick, assisting engagement in corners and circular movements which are crucial for positioning and iterative placement in shmups.  

The joystick has an approximate 3.56mm shorter height under base profile than a standard LS-56-01, helping problematic installation circumstances where every saving in space matters.

Please note: This listing is for the 5-pin integrated PCB variant of the SELS joystick.
