Ball Top Color
Choose from 22 different type of Ball Top or No Ball Top.  This listing is not SK, the sleeves for shaft is not included, only the chosen ball top or no ball top will be sent out.

Important to note: The JLX-TP-8YT is NOT a silent switched joystick.  There is some confusion about the actual switch being silent, it may be from the specification actuator that pushes the switch is same one from silent JLF-TPRG-8BYT (the plastic piece around the shaft at the bottom that triggers the switches).  Also there was a prototype information that was released early 2023, it showed JLX-TPML-8Y, which had adjustable switch leaf pressure on each switch, as of writing this listing, it has not been released.


NEW MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION, PIVOT, SPRING SEAT WASHER, P-W ACTUATOR

The Sanwa JLX has achieved high-precision molding and improved input accuracy by changing the material of the component parts. Please review below some of the technical improvements over the JLF:

LX-P-2 M base material changed from nylon to POM (polyacetal resin). It is less susceptible to environmental influences such as temperature and humidity.

By increasing the thickness of the washer for the M base, rattling of the washer during operation is reduced.
Adjusted the shape inside the M base where the bearing fits. Less rattling of the bearing than before.
Changed bearing material from POM to nylon. Abrasion resistance and sliding against the M base are enhanced.
The material of the micro printed circuit board is changed from paper phenol to CEM-3. It is less likely to warp than paper phenol and has improved durability.

The Sanwa JLF P-W Actuator from the brands' JL-C line rounds out the list of improvements in the JLX. The JLF P-W Actuator is 16.2mm wide at the base - just over .4mm wider than the original Sanwa JLF actuator at 15.8mm. This is the same actuator used in the silent JLF-TPRG-8BYT-SK. It has higher dimensional stability in molding than the conventional black actuator and reduces variations in input accuracy. It is also it is about 0.12mm thicker (0.24mm in diameter) than the black actuator, but it was adopted because of its good usability by location tests and e-sports gamers.

SANWA JLX-TP-8YT Joystick use JLF-P-W actuator for a better performance.

The JLX Differences
  • Larger and denser material used for the base (POM).  What this does is more stability (less vibration) when executing inputs.  This is immediately noticeable if you're familiar with the feel of the current JLF
  • New Polished Pivot (less friction) for smoother motion and longer lasting performance
  • Improved heavier and thicker metal washer
  • Upgraded actuator that is used in the Silent JLF is now used in the JLX.  This is slightly larger for faster activation and consistent inputs in all directions
The center joystick restrictor can be popped out and re-inserted to make 4 way only movement (up, down, left, right).   Unlike previous JLF restrictor where center piece had to be pulled and rotated, the stock restrictor on JLX allows removal and reinsert of the center piece to make the adjustment. Gently push in the 2 tabs on the center piece and it will pop out.  We have added eBay Video feature on this listing that shows the center restrictor removal,
