Review: J'avais acheté une chinoiserie avant celui ci qui ne fonctionnait pas. Sanwa c'est plus cher d'accord mais ça fait le boulot et ça tient dans temps. Qualitatif, Je recommande. En plus on peut changer la boule pour mettre une autre couleur

Soweit Ich das beurteilen kann echtes Sanwa Denshi Teil geliefert bekommen. War erst skeptisch wegen der formlosen Umverpackung in einer Schachtel ohne Logo. Hat jedoch alle Merkmale. Leicht gold schimmernde Metallplatte, rote Enden an den Tastern, den signifikanten "Klick", sowie die Bauform vom PCB (Kontakte zur Seite, nicht wie beim Nachbau nach unten Passt auch so direkt in einen Usb Encoder die hier auf Amazon unter diversen Marken vertrieben werden. Falls es nicht geht, einfach Stecker umdrehen. Habe den Stick ausgetauscht gegen einen Klon eben genau von diesem Modell. Man merkt sofort den Unterschied. Bewegungen laufen wesentlich flüssiger, der Stick geht viel weicher zurück und rupft nicht. Zahlt sich in einem Bartop oder Arcadestick jedenfalls als Upgrade aus.
