Crown CWL-309MJ-ST30 New Helpme Arcade Joystick

Important: This joystick is supplied without shaft / lever or bat top. Compatible shafts are available separately. Below you can find a list of the different compatible options.

The Crown CWL-309MJ-KMS-ST35 joysticks from the South Korean company SAMDUCKSA are professional-quality arcade joysticks. Like most Korean levers, they are especially recommended for Tekken, Street Fighter, The King of Fighters and fighting games in general. Crown joysticks are widely used by fighting game players and are especially popular among Tekken fans.

One of the main characteristics of Crown Korean joysticks is the use of an internal silicone rubber tension grommet instead of the spring system commonly used by joysticks from other brands such as IL, Sanwa, Seimitsu or Suzo Happ. This system provides a distinctive playing feel and a fast return of the lever to the neutral position.

The Crown CWL-309MJ joystick offers smooth movement without defined corner impact, a feature especially appreciated when performing movements such as QCB, QCF (quarter circle back/forward), HCB, HCF (half circle back/forward) and full 360º movements.

Samducksa Crown joysticks use a high-density silicone rubber ring to allow the lever to return quickly to the center. This system is especially designed for 3D fighting games, where fast, consistent and precise movements are required.

This version uses an ST35 tension grommet with Shore A 35 hardness, providing balanced tension and a fast return to the neutral position.

The joystick includes 2 white actuators in different sizes: 16 mm and 16.2 mm. The 16 mm actuator offers slightly different actuation and may be especially suitable for Tekken players, while the 16.2 mm actuator provides a versatile setup for fighting games and arcade games in general.

Another highlight of this Crown base is the use of Korean Gersung microswitches. Each microswitch can be individually removed and replaced, allowing modifications and customization of the joystick's response and sensitivity.
