JOV8S

The Qanba JOV8S is an excellent joystick lever. I’ve already become a big fan of the Qanba Gravity KT adjustable buttons, and I’d recently bought a Qanba Obsidian 2 Fight Stick, which I discovered came shipped with a Sanwa JLF lever and Sanwa Denshi buttons. So I did the Qanba conversion on my Qanba stick and I’ve got to say that I am very impressed with the Qanba JOV8S. I found the loosest and medium tension springs felt too loose, but the 3rd heavy tension spring feels about the same tension as a JLX2 with an EX 1.5 lb spring. The medium 1.5x tension spring that’s included feels about the same tension as the JLX2 with the stock .9 lb spring. This joystick has very good snap back to neutral, the pivot is greased so it’s very smooth with no friction and it’s very smooth. The Omron switches are very forgiving, and while the JOV8S feels spongier and softer than a JLX2, it’s still snappy and very accurate. It’s excellent for players who like to ride the gate. This lever comes with a harness, a round gate, octagonal gate, and ships with a square gate installed. It also comes with 3 springs of differing tensions as well as a nice ball-top, dust protectors and lever sleeves. It will drop directly into the Qanba Obsidian 2 and the Hori Fight Stick Alpha. I have tried using other actuators and have not had any luck with any of them, they mess up the feel and also don’t allow the stick to work properly but the stock actuator feels good. It feels about like an 11.5 mm actuator in a JLX2. Sanwa shafts also work fine with these so you can use a lightweight titanium Sanwa shaft to get faster SnapBack. I should also note that this joystick is very quiet, just like the buttons. My favorite thing about this particular lever is that it is every bit as responsive and tight as the JLX2 (with the heavy spring) and it’s not hard to get used to if you’re used to the JLX2, but it’s got its own distinct feel that is completely different than Sanwa or Semitsu but it’s every bit as formidable and easy to use. I have no idea why Qanba ships the Obsidian 2 with Sanwa hardware, because Qanba makes some top-tier buttons and levers. These levers won’t be for everyone, but if you’re tired of using the same Sanwa or Semitsu sticks and want something that is different and just as good, then you’ll probably enjoy using this lever. I like it just as much as my modded JLX2, only the Qanba didn’t need any modding out of the box. I just use a lightweight shaft because it’s my preference. Either way, I highly recommend the JOV8S.

I've been using arcade sticks for a little over 10 years and I've grown a custom to the clickiness and the clackiness of the buttons and also the lever. Really I decided to get these because my wife was going to buy me a whole new stick for my birthday and that was so sweet of her but I decided I would use that money on her instead and let me just get a little upgrade. What I expected was a little upgrade what I ended up getting is so far beyond that. Usually when I get a lever I'm changing something in it to actuator the tension spring the ball itself. With this I did not touch anything and it felt amazing straight out the box. Not only is it amazing to play with because of the silent design I can now enjoy my games while my wife is taking a nap or sleeping. It has literally helped my marriage. Is it silent yes but let's talk about how it feels to play. Directions to crisp I have yet to feel like I've missed an input. Medium throw range (the time that the stick moves before it triggers the direction) Also comes with pin connectors and square,octa and circle gates 👀 it's honestly for any instal that will fit! Absolutely worth the price. Hori Rapv4 pictured with matching gravity buttons 🔥

Very different from any other lever I’ve ever used. First 2 I purchased were DOA. There was a disconnect on the 5 pin. Once I got a good working one, it’s pretty cool. Takes getting used to, but these are very cool. Even better combined with Qanba gravity buttons, or Crown buttons. All silent setup.

Installed this stick on my quanta drone 2. And it was a night and day difference the stock stick on the drone is awful so clicky and loud. the gravity stick made it so much smoother, fun to use, and much better sound. I wish they sold a version of the qanba arcade stick controllers with an option for the gravity stick module already included because it really does complete the package and I would 100% recommend the upgrade for people who got the drone 2.

I have bought about 4 different types of joysticks for my cocktail arcade table and they were ALL sloppy and loud. I bought this Quanba Gravity Silent Joystick and all I can say is WOW! It comes with all 3 variants of restrictor plates for the movement you want to set it to. Also comes with 3 different tension springs. I put in the Heavy spring and the joystick reacts just like the ones in the arcades back in the 80’s! Love it so much that I am buying another one for the Player 2 side. Just wish it had light up capabilities. Super Awesome Joystick though! If you have a 5 pin joystick and are tired of sloppy old joysticks, this Quanba is the answer to your prayers! Silent as ever too! No more annoying clicking sounds!

I really wanted to love this stick. It has a very premium feel. From the case that it came in to all the accessories needed, it's definitely worth the price. I even bought the qanba chrome silent buttons to match it! However, I noticed that they're are miss inputs. If I flick it back (left), I get an additional forward (right) input. If you're playing tekken, you'll know this is bad. Moving forward causes you to take damage. Another thing is it's not picking up the UP+FORWARD. It can go forward, it can go up, but not both! Again, bad for fighting games that require such input. I tried changing springs, restricting gate (square, octagon, circle). Nothing helped. Not sure if I just got a bad item and I don't want to spend another $50 to test that theory! I was so disappointed being that this is twice as expensive as a sanwa. I love that it's silent but I need it to be precise. I had to switch back to the stock "clicky" qanba for my drone 2. If you're playing games that don't require precision so much, this is perfect. Otherwise, I don't recommend it.

Una hermosura física y funcional.

Excelente 👌 calidad facil instalación..

I bought this for marvel vs capcom 3 a month ago and I'm not disappointed. The only modifications I did was adding a 4lb tension spring. The switches aren't clicky at all so it's really quiet. This is my favorite japanese style lever so far

This lever is actually silent. No clicks and simply does what it says. Works with my arcade stick and was easy to set up. Thoroughly recommend. Only issue was it's price, but if it's what you really want then It's worth it.

Buen producto. No sé ve en la fotos pero los cables que trae vienen para plug&play si tu control es quanba. Yo había comprado un adaptador porque pensaba que iba a ocuparlo pero creo que el del vídeo que habia visto remplazaban com sanwa. Con esta solo fué abrir y conectar. Muy contento.

Worked really got

Muy bonita la palanca eh me gusta mucho
