Question about the Seimitsu LS-32
Question about the Seimitsu LS-32
I have one in my HRAP EX-SE and have noticed it has quite a bit of movement without registering inputs, I can do small circles with it.
Is this normal?
I've had it for a few months. I just recently had a party and a bunch of people were playing MvC3 pretty hard for hours, maybe it is just breaking in? I'm hoping it can endure some punishment without being worn out.

I think it's normal. For a stick with a very short throw it has a very loose deadzone that seems to get bigger by quite a bit after breaking in. I experienced the same.

I'm hoping it isn't too difficult to change the stick on the EX-SE, at some point in time I may want to try a different model or a fresh LS-32

If LS-32s have this problem, why do people consider them the best for shooters?
Re: Question about the Seimitsu LS-32
I've heard good things about the LS-56, but I'm not sure if they have the same issues as the LS-32 or not. I don't have Seimitsu sticks at all in my cabs anymore, and this is one of the reasons. But for people who play BOTH shmups as well as other games, the LS-32 is one of the best sticks.Sumez wrote:If LS-32s have this problem, why do people consider them the best for shooters?

Wholesale replacement of the lever in the EX-SE requires soldering, as each of the four microswitches have two individual wires. I would think if you just want to refresh the LS-32 the only necessary parts to replace would be the microswitches, actuator, and maybe the spring - that should be enough to restore the out-of-the-box feel.Neith wrote:I'm hoping it isn't too difficult to change the stick on the EX-SE, at some point in time I may want to try a different model or a fresh LS-32

Good to know this. The issue is a minor problem and won't prevent me from getting lots more use out of it before I attempt any mod.StarCreator wrote:Wholesale replacement of the lever in the EX-SE requires soldering, as each of the four microswitches have two individual wires.

Re: Question about the Seimitsu LS-32
by the way StarCreator how difficult is it to replace the parts the way you suggested?

Tbh, I think a lot of people exaggerate the issue quite a bit. Yeah, there's a deadzone, but for me, the LS-32 always feels precise and tight when being used in a shooter. Much more so than any JLF I've tried using.Sumez wrote:If LS-32s have this problem, why do people consider them the best for shooters?

Re: Question about the Seimitsu LS-32
So it's just the actuator causing the "problem"? No reason to break a sweat then 

Re: Question about the Seimitsu LS-32
Yup - you'll find a pile of shavings under the stick.
A good LS32 has about 4mm of deadzone, as opposed to a JLF which has 10mm+.
