Qanba Silent Joystick Lever

Having a look at the Qanba Gravity Mechanical Shafts Arcade Joystick Silent Lever (Model JOV8S).
Although I have previously modified my go-to arcade joystick and swapped out the no-name stock lever with a Sanwa JLF model, I wanted to try a “silent” variant that uses mechanical switches that make no noise when actuating - they produce no audible “clicks” as you move the lever in various directions. How cool is that?
The new silent joystick lever I ordered a while ago was sitting on my desk for months. I planned on using it as soon as it arrived, but my personal and professional commitments got in the way. Being a responsible adult and keeping a steady job can get in the way of fun and games - what a drag. I haven’t even been able to open the package until today, and because of my hectic schedule, I will likely not install it or play with it for some time. But before I entirely forget about it, like I did with many other “things” I bought before that just sit on a shelf collecting dust, I thought I should open it up to have a peak.
The Qanba Gravity Mechanical Shafts Arcade Joystick Silent Lever (oof that’s a mouthful) comes equipped with the custom Omron grey mechanical shafts (the silent switches), three restrictor gates (square, round, and octagonal), three tension springs (light, medium, heavy), a wiring harness (standard 5 pin), a dust cover, a shaft cover, and a blue Resin Agate ball top. This is the complete package - it has everything you need to customise, tweak, and personalize the look and feel of the joystick lever to match your gaming style.

Hello! Did you get the JOV8S variant? I also have an 8BitDo Arcade Stick and have been encouraged to this mod after seeing your video.

That's great! Yes, I installed the JOV8S into my 8BitDo Arcade Stick. Good luck with your mod.

Had a successful install! Thanks to your other video, I avoided the mismatch issue from the stock pin wiring. Fortunately, the qanba lever and the 8bitdo board I have, had labels for which command the wiring is for. My approach was reusing the 8 pin wiring connector of the 8bitdo, as an alternative to trimming the stock qanba 5 pin wiring connector. Fit like a charm.

@@mgu-ph I'm glad the videos helped. Reusing the 8-pin connector from the 8BitDo Arcade Stick takes a bit more effort, but it's a great way to do it - that ensures you are using the connectors exactly how they were designed to be connected. 👍

Do you get heavy deflection when using it? Sometimes when I let go from down, it hits up.

I don't notice any accidental actuations on bounce-back. I am using the light (default 1x) spring that came with the kit, and my controller is slanted slightly toward me - with the joystick angled a bit, gravity may be helping prevent the bounce-back. The switches in this joystick have a stronger spring than the standard microswitches commonly found in Sanwa JLF, and with the shorter actuation distance, the JOV8S may be more prone to bounce-back actuations. If your controller is slanted away (on your lap) try giving it a bit of a tilt toward you or try one of the stronger shaft springs that come in the kit - the 2x or even the 1.5x spring may give it a bit more stiffness and prevent the accidental bounce-back actuations.

Music a little loud and video itself is a little quiet. I turn up my volume but I hear more music than voice. Just some viewer perspective
