Review: How to wire to use with arcade 1up - Does work with arcade 1up but you need to figure out the wire hardness its doable where this joystick comes with a 5 pin connector that white with patterns on it instead of colorful also all you need is 1 ground wire for my pacman 1up this is exactly how I got it to work Red - up - has writing on wire Green - down - long rectangles Black - right - xxxxx Yellow- left- small rectangles Any color ground - dots This setup worked perfectly i desided to put 2 ground wires instead of just 1 so I could tell them apart Also with my pacman 1up the 1st wire is the positive (top) the 2nd same wire color is ground (bottom) and this is all 4 colors of wire I hope this helps bc i couldn't find any info online how to exactly wire this stick up
Review: Great for the price - I realize these are knock offs, but the restrictor on my sticks reads "Sanwa" The cable that comes with them needed to be cut/spliced in my setup and the copper is VERY thin. For that reason, they might not be the simplest installation, but the rest of the components seem decent enough. If the switches ever fail, this will hold a replacement Sanwa board just fine.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you switch between 8 way and 4 way?**
A: When looking at the bottom of the joystick you will see a clear plastic restrictor plate held in place by four black plastic tabs. Gently push the tabs inward and pull upward on the restrictor plate to remove it, taking care to not break any of the tabs.

The plate is made up of two parts, an outer and an inner ring. The inner ring has two knobs spaced across from each other. Push against the inner ring while holding the outer ring fixed. Apply enough pressure to raise the knobs up and out of the slots they are in allowing you to use the knobs to rotate the ring clockwise until it latches into the adject slots. This will change the restrictor pattern from a square to a diamond shape. Again, apply pressure carefully as these are plastic pieces and could break if too much force is used.

To replace the restrictor plate on the joystick, line up the holes on the restrictor plate to the joystick tabs and press the plate against the joystick. The black tabs will lock it back into place.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Qanba Playstation users, some modding needed.
*by J***S on January 8, 2026*

So far this is great. However I am using a custom qanba Playstation arcade stick, and I had to mod this joy stick to get it to work. I had to desolder the ribbon connector on the joystick and flip it around, then the inputs worked. See photo.
