- | ==== Seimitsu ==== | + | ===== Pinouts ===== |
+ | Most of the joysticks listed below use either spade connectors (AT-187 Japan size) or a 5-pin JST NH-series connector. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But you can't hurt anything by wiring these up wrong, so if you're not sure, go ahead and experiment. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The connector used for Sanwa and Seimitsu sticks is a **JST NH-series** 5-pin. | ||

- | Sanwa uses two mount patterns: either a simple 65mm two-screw attachment, or a square pattern that's much smaller than Seimitsu's, and it's rotated 45 degrees. | + | |
- | ==== Hori ==== | + | The two 65mm holes in both the JLX and JLF are not threaded, and typically use a nut & bolt attachment. |
- | Hori's made many mechs throughout their history. | + | |
+ | 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. | ||
