Seimitsu LS-56 SE Arcade Joystick

Important: This joystick is supplied without a ball top. Available separately at the following LINK.

This joystick is noticeably smaller than the LS-32 or the LS-40, which allows it to fit into more compact joystick setups and arcade sticks such as the Madcatz TE. In play, it feels stiffer than the LS-32 and LS-58 series, combined with a shorter travel.

The Seimitsu LS-56 uses a medium-tension spring, which many players consider the ideal choice for 2D beat 'em ups. Its extra stiffness makes it a great alternative for those looking for something firmer than the Sanwa JLF, the LS-32 or the LS-58.

It features a square restrictor, the design preferred by many players for its precision and consistency, as opposed to the more modern octagonal restrictor found on other models.

Overall, the Seimitsu LS-56 is a highly respected and versatile arcade joystick that adapts well to a wide range of games and setups. Whether you're a pro player, a casual player, or a hobbyist, the LS-56 is well worth considering if you're after a high-quality joystick that offers precision, customisation and reliability.
