Seimitsu LS-32-01 Joystick (no shaft cover)

The most popular Seimitsu joystick, renowned for overall quicker movements and moderate engage distances. 

Two (2) mounting plates available.

This version is the 5-pin PCB variant (ie. generally for arcade stick and fightstick applications).

Background and information - The original beginnings of the Street Fighter 2 craze in Japan was deeply connected to the Seimitsu LS-32 joystick. For instance, the Japanese SF2 arcade cabinets featured LS-32’s as stock and is therefore the equipment many of the best players of the era learned to play on. To this day, many Japanese players insist on using LS-32’s for Street Fighter 2.

Additionally, the LS-32 is a preferred option for Japanese arcades with dedicated shmup cabinets. 

Unfortunately, cheap clones of the LS-32 have appeared as the “Zippy” joystick. There is no reason to buy the clones when the affordable, Japanese authentic LS-32 is a high quality, fast, responsive and precise joystick. Most recently, it was standard equipment on many Japanese “candy cabinets” such as the Sega Versus City head-to-head machine.

The LS-32 is currently installed on Astro City cabinets at the legendary Mikado Game Centre and the Egret II cabinets at the renowned Taito Hey! amusement centre, Japan.

Additionally, full manufacturer and aftermarket support parts are available for the Seimitsu LS-32 to cater for all styles of play and mounting applications (ie. short throw upgrades, round restrictor gate, coloured+extended shaft, replacement ball/bat tops, flat mount and arcade cabinet mounting plates).
