Frequently asked questions (F.A.Q’s)
• What’s the extra piece of plastic in the box?
o A restrictor gate. The restrictor controls the overall
movement of the stick.
o The ArcadeR design is based around a round
restrictor, however some joystick mechanisms have
been fitted with square restrictors – you’ll feel the
diagonals more with these as the base of the stick sits
in the corner.
o The restrictor can be swapped over, or you can
continue to use the square one. It’s up to you.
o Other compatible restrictors are available for the
Sanwa JLF, including octagonal ones.
• What do the feature buttons do?
o The left-hand button toggles the autofire for the
primary fire button. Push the feature button in to
turn off the autofire, leave it out for autofire on.
o The right-hand button controls how the secondary
fire button is configured. Some computer systems
work with joysticks that have multiple, independent
fire buttons. Feature button 2 swaps the secondary
fire button between acting as button 2 or button 3 on
such systems.
• Can I use both fire buttons as fire 1?
o Yes, however they both need to be wired together.
