Solid
Great replacement for my Madcatz PS4/PS5 TE, which had developed an issue with dropped inputs. It's literally the same part the stick ships with and is a like-for-like swap.

arcade joystick
read reviews and sanwa are meant to be top quality. i have a tabletop arcade machine and the player 1 joystick wasnt always reacting the way it should. A bit nervous about taking game apart to get to the faulty joystick. no worries as it was a case of removing 2 pozzie screws and pull out electrical connectors ( like a car ) new joystic fitted perfectly and now i can get back to playing defender , galaxian , phoenix , gorf , moon cresta , astro blaster and more . This new joystick feels more sturdy and clicky than the original

Great value, well worth the upgrade.
I upgraded my bartop from the standard default stick to this and there is a huge difference in terms of quality. The responsiveness is brilliant. I didn't think the difference would be this much I was initially concerned of fakes as this was so cheap at £16 but the genuine markings are there to be seen and this is clearly the genuine item. Great value and I am looking forward to upgrading to sanwa buttons now too.

Clean inputs and easy to install
I’ve been using this product for about 4 months now. I used it in my Hori RAP 4 which I use to play on PC and PS4. The product was packaged very well and included all of the things I needed. It arrived quickly and I installed it with ease, the process was surprisingly simple. This stick is stiffer and clickier than my old one (I had the Hori Hyabusa that came with the RAP 4) so I feel like my inputs are cleaner but that could just be my imagination. That said, I definitely prefer this stick to my old one. It’s easy to customise too. I swapped out the balltop with a Violet one and also changed the shaft cover. Again, it’s super easy to do, but you can find tons of material and guides online to help if you get stuck or are unsure. Since I’ve used this stick, I’ve ranked up to Super Saiyan God in Dragon Ball FighterZ and I’ve reached Silver in SFV. I’d highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to upgrade their arcade stick.

The standard in arcade joysticks does not disappoint.
These were to replace some 'unbranded' joysticks on my bartop arcade cabinet. If you know Sanwa there isn't much I can say other than these are perfect, they completely replicate that genuine arcade experience and as you know are the standard that other joysticks are to be measured against.

Wiring Instructions.
Great joystick, it makes a huge difference. I installed this into an 8Bitdo Arcade Stick, but there were no markings on the wires to indicate which wires go to which solder pad. With a bit of trial and error it’s wired as shown in the photo. Black - Ground Yellow - Left Blue - Right Red - Down Orange - Up Hope this helps if anybody else is looking to do the same.
