Earlier this year I decided to swap out the components in my N30 - the stock ones get the job done, but are garbage in comparison to quality arcade sticks. This is an extremely easy mod if you know basic soldering.
The default joystick is soldered to the harness, while the JLF I chose uses a connector. So the wires have to be soldered directly to the micro switches like the stock unit.
You then need to cut three of the traces so each switch can be properly grounded. Circles in red show where they have been cut (used an x-acto knife). Here is the finished product:
The buttons are just drop in replacements, no modification needed.
BOM:
- 1x Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT-SK-VER
- 8x Sanwa OBSF-30
Hope this helps someone out there!
