They feel kind of similar to the stock sticks but there is certainly a quality difference. The clicking is a little quieter and less cheap sounding than the stock sticks in the Arcade1up cabinets. It comes set up as 8-way but can be switched to 4-way if u are using it for Pac-Man or something like that by adjusting the retainer on the bottom of the stick. It’s pretty easy to do but you have to take the control deck off to access the bottom of the joystick. I like the standard square 8-way gate and even don’t mind the light tension springs for the NBA Jam but hate both in the MK. I put an octagonal gate on the one in the Mortal Kombat machine and love it. I plan on putting 4 lb tension springs in the MK cabinet and maybe 2 lb springs in the NBA Jam (just so it dosnt feel so cheap). As far as install goes, you have to be somewhat handy, but it’s pretty easy to install. You will want to take the metal plate off of your stock Arcade1up joystick and install it on your new sanwa. This way the screw holes match up and you don’t have to make a bunch of new holes. The other thing is this joystick comes with a 5 pin connector and the 1up has 8 wires soldered in. This is where you may spend a little extra time figuring it out. Basically, under your joystick, there are four switches/buttons (up, down, left, right). On the stock setup, each switch is connected to the control board with two wires (power and ground). To wire in the new joystick, you just have to use the included connecter and splice 5 wires. You will use the positive wire from each switch and connect to one of the four colored wires on the connecter. You can use just one of the old grounds and connect it to the black wire on the included connecter. You could solder the wires, but I just twisted and used heat shrink tubes and a heat gun. Electrical tape would work fine too. A little trial and error may be needed to have your directions correct if your like me, but the second time was a lot easier. Size wise the sanwa is about the same as the Arcade1up sticks so the only issues fitting should be able to be resolved by orienting the stick so the 5 pin connecter isn’t obstructed. I will try to add pictures if I do another one or when I do the springs. Review: Great, versatile sticks. - 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. ## Features - (1) High quality Japan-made joystick by Sanwa. - (2) Suitable for control panels made of steel or plastic to a max. of 5mm thick. - (3) Solid spring and excellent 'Return to Center', Agile and precise, Firm construction and durable. - (4) Switchable Ball Top - variety of colors are available, Can be changed to 4 ways or 8 ways operation. - (5) Ideal to replace arcade / home console joystick for fighting style games and any joystick heavy games. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CK1THWX | | Additional Features | Ergonomic | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,494 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #18 in PC Game Joysticks | | Brand | SANWA | | Brand Name | SANWA | | Button Quantity | 16 | | Color | Dark Blue | | Compatible Devices | PC, Windows | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Controller Type | Joystick | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,924 Reviews | | Hardware Platform | pc, playstation | | Item Dimensions | 3.74 x 2.76 x 4.13 inches | | Item Weight | 230 Grams | | Manufacturer | SANWA | | Manufacturer Part Number | 644436932230 | | Model Name | JLF-TP-8YT | | Model Number | 644436932230 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 644436932230 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SANWA - **Compatible Devices:** PC, Windows - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Controller Type:** Joystick - **Model Name:** JLF-TP-8YT ## Images ![SANWA Blue Joystick - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718v-0LIojL.jpg) ![SANWA Blue Joystick - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UrvKZH6pL.jpg) ![SANWA Blue Joystick - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61yqLD60GSL.jpg) ![SANWA Blue Joystick - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ercQzHMSL.jpg) ![SANWA Blue Joystick - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519E7ZuXHBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arcade1up replacement/upgrade *by P***L on December 10, 2020* Due to the issues with a joystick on both of my Arcade1up machines I have now put one of these in two different Arcade1up machines (Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam).

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - SANWA JLF-TP-8YT Joystick Dark Blue Original - for Arcade Jamma Game 4 & 8 Way Adjustable, Compatible with Catz Mad SF4 Tournament Joystick (Dark Blue Ball Top), Use for Arcade Machine Cabinet S@NWA - Sanwa 8 pcs OBSF-30 Original Push Button 30mm - for Arcade Jamma Video Game & Arcade Joystick Games Console (Dark Blue) S@NWA - Hikig 5 Pcs/Lot 5Pin Cable for SANWA Joystick, Zero Delay USB Encoder, Mayflash F300 Joystick and 2.54mm Pitch Female to Female JST XH Adapter 20cm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/70899111-sanwa-blue-joystick](https://www.desertcart.in/products/70899111-sanwa-blue-joystick) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
