Review: Perfect Replacement for My MadCatz TE Joystick! - I used the SANWA JLF-TP-8YT to replace the broken joystick in my MadCatz TE stick, and it worked perfectly. Installation was quick and easy, and it fit exactly like the original part without any issues. The quality feels identical to what came stock with the stick — smooth, responsive, and built to last. It restored my arcade stick back to the way it felt when it was brand new, which is exactly what I was hoping for. There wasn’t any improvement in performance because it’s essentially a direct replacement, but that’s exactly what I needed. Everything feels natural again, with clean inputs and reliable movement during gameplay. If you’re looking to fix a worn-out or broken stick, this is the exact part you want. Highly recommend it for anyone maintaining their MadCatz TE or similar arcade sticks!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Replacement for My MadCatz TE Joystick!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Replaced
*by C***E on August 16, 2026*

Perfect for arcade 1up games. Used to replace galaga game.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arcade1up replacement/upgrade
*by P***L on December 10, 2020*

Due to the issues with a joystick on both of my Arcade1up machines I have now put one of these in two different Arcade1up machines (Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam). They feel kind of similar to the stock sticks but there is certainly a quality difference. The clicking is a little quieter and less cheap sounding than the stock sticks in the Arcade1up cabinets. It comes set up as 8-way but can be switched to 4-way if u are using it for Pac-Man or something like that by adjusting the retainer on the bottom of the stick. It’s pretty easy to do but you have to take the control deck off to access the bottom of the joystick. I like the standard square 8-way gate and even don’t mind the light tension springs for the NBA Jam but hate both in the MK. I put an octagonal gate on the one in the Mortal Kombat machine and love it. I plan on putting 4 lb tension springs in the MK cabinet and maybe 2 lb springs in the NBA Jam (just so it dosnt feel so cheap). As far as install goes, you have to be somewhat handy, but it’s pretty easy to install. You will want to take the metal plate off of your stock Arcade1up joystick and install it on your new sanwa. This way the screw holes match up and you don’t have to make a bunch of new holes. The other thing is this joystick comes with a 5 pin connector and the 1up has 8 wires soldered in. This is where you may spend a little extra time figuring it out. Basically, under your joystick, there are four switches/buttons (up, down, left, right). On the stock setup, each switch is connected to the control board with two wires (power and ground). To wire in the new joystick, you just have to use the included connecter and splice 5 wires. You will use the positive wire from each switch and connect to one of the four colored wires on the connecter. You can use just one of the old grounds and connect it to the black wire on the included connecter. You could solder the wires, but I just twisted and used heat shrink tubes and a heat gun. Electrical tape would work fine too. A little trial and error may be needed to have your directions correct if your like me, but the second time was a lot easier. Size wise the sanwa is about the same as the Arcade1up sticks so the only issues fitting should be able to be resolved by orienting the stick so the 5 pin connecter isn’t obstructed. I will try to add pictures if I do another one or when I do the springs.
