Seimitsu LS-40D-01-H4 joystick (High-performance lubricant - collaboration model)

This collaboration Seimitsu joystick model uses a Harves high-performance “dry surf” lubricant instead of the regular silicone based grease and is factory fitted with a custom mounting plate seal, clear red shaft cover and matching dust cover.

This special collaboration model was first unveiled at EVO 2022 Las Vegas and has very limited availability in Japan.

The most unique attribute of this joystick is the specially designed restrictor gate available only on this model and the LSX-NOBI-01-STD variant. The restrictor is shaped as an irregular square with rounded corners for improved circular motions however, includes steps added in the up/down/left/right directions for added accuracy when engaging linear directions (ie. use for "charge" characters in fighting games).

The basic components of a regular LS-40-01 are present in this joystick, however the benefit of using the “dry surf” lubricant equates to the general smoother moving motion across all directions for unprecedented mobility.

In addition, the high-performance lubricant significantly boosts the pivot durability lasting approximately five (5) times longer than silicone based grease.

An added benefit is this lubricant won’t stick to your hands if you happen to touch it during installation and/or customising.
