Please note: You do not need to purchase a separate restrictor gate for this insert. It is designed to work with your Sanwa JLF's existing GT-8F gate. It is not compatible with the Sanwa JLF-TPRG-8AYT-SK Silent Microswitch Joystick, as the restrictor plate does not allow swapping an insert. You may try purchasing a GT-8F plate for that model however. It is not compatible with the newer Sanwa GT-8X Square Restrictor Gate.
The Sanwa GT Y Octagonal Restrictor Plate is one of our most popular products. Players love the smoother, circular motions that this product offered. The actual clear plastic gates themselves, however, are already installed in most Sanwa JLF series joysticks as the Sanwa GT-8F 4/8-Way Restrictor Plate.
Every Sanwa JLF-series Joystick, including Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick or Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y-SK Joystick (No Plate Installed) comes with the Sanwa GT-8F restrictor plate. This clear plastic plate houses a square-shaped insert that allows for up, down, left, right and diagonal movement. While effective, it doesn't feel as natural when attempting to perform quarter-circle, half-circle, or full-circle (360-degree) motions. These motions are common in most fighting games, which a square gate cannot reproduce easily. The translucent yellow insert, which contains the octagonal guide, is the most important part. If you already own the GT-8F restrictor plate on every Sanwa JLF, buying another just for the GT-Y insert seems like a wasted purchase.
The clear GT-Y insert we offer is molded with the exact same specifications as the yellow insert available in the official Sanwa GT-Y, and works just as well. Hadoken, Shoryuken and Spinning Piledriver attacks are fluid and easy to perform.
A fantastic deal!
Now, with Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick or Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y-SK Joystick (No Plate Installed) purchase, you can option bundle the GT-Y insert for just 45 cents!

JLF GT-Y Octagonal Restrictor Plate Insert

works perfect!
TBH, i don't push my sticks actuator to the edges of any gate i play. when i hear the click of the joystick switch, and from years of playing, i know what direction i'm pushing. square or octo, makes no difference to me. but, these were cheap enough of an add-on, it was a no brainer. i know other folks who play prefer an octo, it is the standard for SF play, so installed em :) Unknown on Apr 29th 2018

As someone who couldn't adjust to square gate..
This gate was absolutely perfect, it was easy to feel every direction that I needed to feel, even the corners. Unknown on Dec 19th 2017

Combos come out easily.
I have been using this kind of Octagonal Restrictor Plate Insert instead of Square one and it is much better for action games in my case Street Fighter 2 & 3 works perfect, more Hadokens, Hurricane Kicks, etc DSG on Aug 10th 2017

Surprisingly Natural!
Since I wanted to make a fight stick for tekken utilizing an octagonal gate than a square gate. I wanted to experiment since I've been watching reviews and etc. I am definitely more used to octagonal than I am with the stock JLF square gate. Since I was going for a close-to approach with a circle gate with a battop lever. This definitely helped me perform much, much better! For specific other fighters/characters it may not be your thing, but it depends on your personal preference. Backdashing, Korean Backdashing and etc is really comfortable for me in this.

Small Price Big Improvement
Do yourself a favor and swap these out. Easy to change out. I bought a few extras for the custom builds I have done. Captain Yesterday on Apr 22nd 2017

Just Buy It Already!!
Swapping the 4 way insert for this one made a huge difference. The fit was perfect. For the price buy an extra set just in case. I did!! Captainyesterday on Apr 5th 2017

Simple and efficient
I have a Quanba Q4 RAF stick. Exchanging just this plate insert in place of the default square insert, instead of changing the whole restrictor worked very well. It is not a difficult operation. But check a tutorial on the web. Unknown on Feb 8th 2017
