The Sanwa TPML-8YT-SK represents a first in mechanical input tech from the company, with a a five point adjustable setting directly on the microswitch. This allows you to modify the engagement speed to your preference for each direction. The TPML is also a silent operator, using specialized Sanwa MLS-57AU leaf microswitches.
Features
- Five point adjustable setting directly on the microswitch.
- Modify the engagement speed for each direction to your preference.

A Sturdier Version Over the JLX
The two most notable changes between the JLX and JLX2 happen on the inside:
- First, its body is revised to now accomodate a new X-shaped washer. This washer is designed to reduce risk of misalignment or "floating" as the joystick pivots during play. This can lead to cleaner diagonal motion.
- Next, Sanwa returns the original Sanwa JLF P-5 Actuator in black. The Sanwa JLF P-W Actuator within the original JLX is 16.2mm wide at the base - just over .4mm wider than the original Sanwa JLF actuator at 15.8mm. This fallback to P-5 reintroduces the feel that some players say was missing with the JLX's white P-W actuator.

Further Improvements Over JLF
The Sanwa JLX2 has achieved high-precision molding and improved input accuracy by changing the material of the component parts. Please review below some of the technical improvements over the JLF:
- LX-P-2 M base material changed from nylon to POM (polyacetal resin). It is less susceptible to environmental influences such as temperature and humidity.
- Adjusted the shape inside the M base where the bearing fits. Less rattling of the bearing than before.
- Changed bearing material from POM to nylon. Abrasion resistance and sliding against the M base are enhanced.
- The material of the micro printed circuit board is changed from paper phenol to CEM-3. It is less likely to warp than paper phenol and has improved durability.

GT-8X Restrictor Plate
Sanwa introduced the GT-8X restrictor plate with its line of JL-C performance mods. This gate is now the default in the JLX. This plate is compatible with the GTN series of lever guide tips/inserts:
- Sanwa GTN-Y Octagonal Restrictor Gate Insert
- Sanwa GTN-VI Round Restrictor Gate Insert
- Sanwa GTN-R Square Mod Type I Restrictor Gate Insert
- Sanwa GTN-B Square Mod Type II Restrictor Gate Insert

Wide Compatibility with Prior Sanwa accessories
While the JLX is a marked departure from its previous model, many of the accessories, such as balltop and battops that use the M6 threading, still work with Sanwa's newest hardware. This is great news for most players who invested in Sanwa's lever ecosystem. However, guide-tips/inserts that were compatible with the JLF may not work with the GT-8X restrictor plate. Some of the newer accessories and performance mods include:
- Sanwa JLF Violet Spring (1, 1.5 Tension Load)
- Sanwa JLF Yellow Spring (1.3, 2 Tension Load)
- Sanwa JLF Blue Spring (1.5, 1.5 Tension Load)
- Sanwa JLF Red Spring (2, 2 Tension Load)
- Sanwa JLF P-5 Actuator
- Sanwa JLF P-R Actuator
- Sanwa JLF P-B Actuator
JLX2 to JLF Compatibility Notes
Certain components that comprise the JLX2 are compatible with the original JLF-TP-8YT. However, some are not. It's important to know this before purchasing individual parts in an attempt to upgrade the JLF. It is recommended that you do not perform this, as the mix of different materials may lead to a degraded experience.
