4.4 Restrictor Gate Adjustment

The JOV8S comes with square, octagonal, and circular restrictor gates. These determine the movement path of the joystick lever.

  1. To change the restrictor gate, first remove the joystick from its mounting if necessary to access the underside.
  2. Unclip or unscrew the current restrictor gate from the joystick base.
  3. Align the desired restrictor gate (square, octagonal, or circular) with the base and secure it in place. Ensure it clicks or screws firmly into position.
  4. Test the joystick movement to confirm the gate is correctly installed.

4.5 Жазгы чыңалууну жөндөө

The joystick includes various tension springs to customize the lever's resistance.

  1. To change the spring, you will need to disassemble the joystick shaft from the base. This typically involves removing the E-clip at the bottom of the shaft.
  2. Carefully remove the existing spring and replace it with your preferred tension spring (light, medium, or heavy).
  3. Reassemble the joystick shaft, ensuring all components are correctly seated and the E-clip is securely reattached.

5. Операция

Once installed, the Qanba Gravity JOV8S operates like a standard arcade joystick. The mechanical switches provide a distinct, yet silent, actuation point for each direction (Up, Down, Left, Right). Diagonal inputs are achieved by moving the lever between the cardinal directions, guided by the installed restrictor gate.

  • Кыймыл: Move the joystick lever in the desired direction. The internal mechanical switches will register the input.
  • Silent Feedback: Unlike traditional microswitch joysticks, the Gravity JOV8S is designed for minimal audible feedback, relying on tactile feel for input confirmation.
  • Тактык: The mechanical switches and robust construction contribute to high input precision and responsiveness.
