Review: Perfect Replacement for My MadCatz TE Joystick! - I used the SANWA JLF-TP-8YT to replace the broken joystick in my MadCatz TE stick, and it worked perfectly. Installation was quick and easy, and it fit exactly like the original part without any issues. The quality feels identical to what came stock with the stick — smooth, responsive, and built to last. It restored my arcade stick back to the way it felt when it was brand new, which is exactly what I was hoping for. There wasn’t any improvement in performance because it’s essentially a direct replacement, but that’s exactly what I needed. Everything feels natural again, with clean inputs and reliable movement during gameplay. If you’re looking to fix a worn-out or broken stick, this is the exact part you want. Highly recommend it for anyone maintaining their MadCatz TE or similar arcade sticks!
Review: Big improvement on original Arcade 1-up Joysticks - Replace Arcade 1-up 8-way joy sticks with these. Much improved feel and reliability. Night and Day difference. Wiring is different, these have a common return for the four switches. Must replace the 8 original wires which are two wires for each switch. With the connector on the left (bottom view) wires are as follows. Yellow - Right, Green - Left, Red - Up, Org - Down and Black common. It does not seem necessary to wire all the common returns, I replaced the JST 4-way 2.5mm connectors and just wired one return connection which left three empty pins across the two four pin connectors. If you just cut off the old Joystick, just connect one of each pair to the new black return. Will save up to buy more and replace more of the originals.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this compatible with the Mayflash F300?**
A: Yes it is. And here's a video on how to install it. https://youtu.be/sLik621W9Bk I believe this controller comes with a cord that only has 1 connector plug. There may be some soldering involved.

**Q: If this product does not come with the restrictor gate, how can I adjust to 4 & way?**
A: this joystick come with a square gate. Ans it is 4 ways already.

**Q: Why does it say made in china? And not in Sanwa box?**
A: it's not made in China, it is made in Japan. please check the explanation that comes with product.

not in Sanwa box?  --> When we purchase, SANWA does not include color box. for the color box you see from internet. that's made by 3rd party. i doubt if they are Genuine or if they are authorized to do this. ours is the way when we got from SANWA. not extra work. only professional knows about this point.

**Q: Can i use this sanwa joystick to replace cheap diy arcade kit with usb interface to use with raspberry pi 4?**
A: The Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT is one of the most quality universal joystick available.  So much so that there are many Sanwa clones.  So to answer your question, yes, you can absolutely use this with a raspberry pi 4, though it won't be the only thing needed.  You'll possibly need a different USB conversion kit, though the one you already have likely would work just fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, versatile sticks.
*by D***H on September 3, 2024*

There's a reason I've purchased three of these. They're reliable and smooth. While not top-of-the-line Sanwas, they're more than enough for most users. Installation is a breeze - although you may have to top- mount them if using a thick wood panel. And the restrictors are easy to remove and rotate. I even added a GRS mechanical restrictor on mine with little trouble. Keep in mind that if you're using one of the encoders off here, you may want to pick up some of the five pin cables with headers on both ends. Otherwise, you can use the included cable and crimp on some quick disconnects. I will be buying more of these in the future for new projects.
