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.
Question about the Seimitsu LS-32
Re: Question about the Seimitsu LS-32
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
Re: Question about the Seimitsu 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?

Re: Question about the Seimitsu LS-32
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+.
