Introduction: Inspired by the Seimitsu LS 56 Octagonal Restrictor Plate, the KOWAL Hayabusa Octopus factors both rotation and diagonal range that is lost in the Sanwa GT-Y's Octagonal gate. This standard creates two contact points on each corner of the gate, creating a small gap between actuator and the gate. The actuator never fully rests on the corner of the GT-Y. The Octopus is instead designed to have a large, single contact point on the rounded corner - the actuator rests directly in this corner. Not only does this design provide you with a smoother rotation when performing circular motions, but also provides a greater diagonal range. Note: The KOWAL Hayabusa Octopus is not compatible with the Hayabusa Silent Optical joystick, as it is constructed differently. The KOWAL Hayabusa Octopus is not designed for the Sanwa JLF, Seimitsu LS, Crown, Suzo Happ, IL, or other joystick - it is designed specifically for the original Hori Hayabusa joystick. |
Features: The new KOWAL Octopus is made of a durable nylon plastic. It is moulded into an attractive shape that greatly compliments the Hayabusa's construction. Octopus' internal gate is several millimetres deeper than the acrylic model. Most importantly, it is bevelled inward to best accommodate the tilt of your joystick shaft. For those who to like to ride the gate hard, this approach greatly reduces wear and tear of the actuator over the previous model. The underside of the gate is recessed around the centre. This was designed specifically to fit the Kowal 1mm Oversize Actuator for Sanwa JLF Series Joystick, which is also compatible with the Hayabusa. |
