Crown CWL-303FJ-DX-ST35 Arcade Joystick

Important: This joystick is supplied without shaft. Compatible translucent Crown CWL-DX shafts are available separately. Below you can find the link to the compatible model.

The Crown 303 series joysticks are designed for players looking for a joystick with an installation and feel closer to Japanese models such as the Sanwa JLF / JLX. This model combines Crown's classic silicone grommet centering system with actuators and Gersung GSM-V1623A3 microswitches, providing a smooth and responsive feel.

The CWL-303FJ-DX-ST35 features a short, completely flat and collarless base, unlike Crown MJ joysticks. This design makes it easier to perform fast and precise movements and allows compact installation in a wide range of compatible arcade cabinets and arcade sticks.

The CWL-303FJ-DX-ST35 base uses the Crown DX system and an ST35 tension grommet with Shore A 35 hardness, providing balanced resistance and a fast return of the lever to the neutral position.

One of the most notable features of the CWL-303FJ-DX-ST35 is its 16.5 mm actuator, designed to make fast and precise contact with the Gersung microswitches. This makes it easier to perform quick movements, which is especially important in fighting games and other arcade games that require precision and speed.

Samducksa Crown joysticks use a silicone rubber ring to allow the lever to return quickly to the center. This system is characteristic of Korean joysticks and is especially recommended for 3D fighting games such as Tekken, where fast, consistent and precise movements are required.

Compatible shaft

This base is supplied without shaft. To complete the joystick, a compatible Crown CWL-DX series shaft must be purchased separately:

• Translucent Replacement Shaft for Crown CWL-DX Series - Compatible with the Crown CWL-303FJ-DX-ST35 base.

Note: This base is designed to use the Crown CWL-DX shaft system. Standard Crown CWL shafts are not compatible with this configuration.

CAUTION:

This joystick is NOT compatible with the Sanwa JLF mounting plate.

The Crown CWL-303FJ joystick uses four Gersung GSM-V1623A3 (4.8 mm) microswitches.

This version is supplied as a joystick base without shaft.

The microswitches may arrive slightly bent due to packaging and transport.

The Faston terminals may show slight differences in color.

To install the compatible Crown CWL-DX shaft, insert it firmly following the corresponding installation procedure.
