+ | These same mechs (or clones of them) were also used in sticks from Sigma (The Σ-2200 definitely used a Seimitsu mech) and (IIRC) ASCII. | ||

+ | The two 65mm holes in both the JLX and JLF are not threaded, and typically use a nut & bolt attachment. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The JLF 4-hole mounts are plastic and use self-tapping counter-sink screws to fix the mech to the plate. The JLX sticks however use threaded metal inserts, and so must use different screws than the JLF mechs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sanwa sticks are mounted deeper into the panel compared to Seimitsu sticks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sanwa sticks use a raised central circle around the pivot, to allow for the pivot to rise vertically above the nominal surface of the stick. | ||

+ | ASCII made many joysticks, and distributed Sega's Dreamcast arcade stick in North America (as Agetech). | ||
+ | |||
+ | === CX4J === | ||
+ | ASCII were first to market with an optical mechanism, it is branded ASCII (and OMRON) with a part number C4XJ. It was used in several Playstation and Dreamcast sticks, like the [[controls: | ||
- | {{: | + | It was possibly developed with Sanwa, who later released a nearly identical unit called the **JLHS-8 FLASH 1**. It uses two groups of soldered-on wires, 4-wires for the directional outputs, and two wires for Vcc and Ground, to power the LEDs. |
- | ==== Sanwa ==== | + | {{:arcade: |
- | Sanwa uses two mount patterns: either a simple 65mm two-screw attachment, or a square pattern that's much smaller than Seimitsu' | + | |
+ | This mech is compatible with Sanwa JLF mounts and accessories. | ||
