Best lever for shmups?

I also use the Seimitsu LS-56 with short throw mod and octogate…I can’t blame the controller for my crapty scores

I stick with Sanwa just because from what I can tell Seimitsus are a pain to mount in a lot of cabs. Take this thread for example. If any Seimitsu users are running cabs (especially Vewlix), how?

Paradise Arcade and Focus Attack both sell Universal Mounting Plates for mounting Seimitsu sticks into Sanwa hole patterns.

LS-32-01 is way too stiff for shooting games. The original LS-32 is pretty decent though. LS-62 and LS-56 are my favorites.

Dead zone on Sanwa sticks is off-putting to me, and I'll take any Seimitsu over them, but they're fine.

Isn't the only difference between the ls32 and 01 the PCB and mounting
I dunno. Been years

Octo gates are training wheels btw

I was never a big fan of JLFs, but oversized actuators and heavier springs remedy most of my complaints with them.

Ended up going for an LS-32-01 with OBSF-30's. Perfect setup now.

Shit. Now i need to know 2 things. Wtf is the short throw mod on an ls-56 and what a ls-40 plays like. Ajax sold me a beautifully built stick with an ls-56 in it and i love it, but ls-32 is my main slut for life. But now somebody tells me an ls-40 is the shit? I need to know what that hoe can do!

I've also put an LS-40-01 in one of my HRAP V's, so I'll give it a go at some point, but right now I'm kind of using the fuck out of the VLX with the 32-01 in it.

Please let me know when you can. LS-32 has always been best for me, but the praise for the 40 has me really curious what is different

So I think the Hayabusa comes with a 0.9lb spring if I'm correct. In that case do you think a 2lb spring to try first? What actuator would you recommend?

2lb spring does the trick for me.
A good place to start; I arrived at 2lbs after many different trial runs w/ all sorts of set ups.

Only had a quick go on KoFXV, but the shorter throw and slightly greater stiffness is nice and I had no problems pulling off combos. I'm going to spend more time with it and also the 32 to see which one I prefer the most. But it's definitely preferrable to the Hayabusa & JLF.

JLF with Panasonic AM5 switches, an oversized actuator and a 4lb spring feels pretty awesome. Possibly my new favourite setup for Super Turbo.
