| Flagship models are the JLF and JLX sticks. Sanwa joysticks (without mod) have a noticeably longer engage and throw distance compared to Seimitsu sticks.
| |
| | |
| Since 2022, Sanwa has been selling individual parts (actuators, springs, etc.) to allow for user modification and customization of their joysticks.

| Seimitsu joysticks are especially popular among shmup (shoot 'em up) players for their short engage and throw distances.
