Seimitsu Bullet Top Aluminium for Arcade Joystick

The Bullet Top was born on the Seimitsu LSX-NOBI Pro Edition joystick, developed together with professional Tekken player Nobi. It proved so popular that Seimitsu started selling it separately, and this is its most special version: a limited edition in solid aluminium. An original part from Seimitsu, one of the leading Japanese arcade joystick manufacturers.

Compared with the plastic version, the difference is obvious the moment you pick it up. At 73 g, it has a far more solid, cool-to-the-touch feel and a metallic finish that gives any fightstick a premium touch. The extra weight also slightly changes how the joystick feels when moving and returning to centre, something many players actively look for.

The bullet profile feels very different from a ball top. Taller and narrower, with a rounded tip, it can be held with the whole palm or between the fingers, depending on each player's style. Many prefer it for fighting games and shoot 'em ups, where short, precise movements matter.

Installation takes less than 1 minute: unscrew the current top and screw on the Bullet Top. On Sanwa JLF-type joysticks it usually helps to hold the shaft from underneath with a flat-head screwdriver while tightening.

Thanks to its standard 6 mm thread, it fits all Seimitsu LS series joysticks and many other models on the market, such as Sanwa JLF, Sanwa JLX, Qanba and Samducksa (the latter with a shaft adapter). A versatile choice for both arcade machines and custom fightsticks.
