Here we are with a new iteration of the great Eurojoystick 2 from IL. A new variation that shows the Eurojoystick 2 with a PCB soldered to the base of the joystick. This PCB has a 5-pin connector that will make the mounting and connection of joystick much quicker and easier. And this is how the Eurojoystick 2 now joins the club of Asian joysticks such as the Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y or Seimitsu LS-32-01 which also have their 5-pin versions.

The Eurojoystick 2 is, without a doubt, the preferred joystick used in European arcade machines. Thanks to its great value for money, this small European-made joystick is one of the most widely used in arcade machines throughout the world, except maybe in Asia.

One difference between the standard Eurojoystick 2 and this Eurojoystick 2 with PCB and integrated 5-pin connector is that the latter is fitted with Cherry D45X microswitches instead of Cherry D44X. The D45X microswitches are a bit softer than the D44X and this makes the tension of the bat a bit lower. In any case the difference is very small.

IL, Industrias Lorenzo, is a company located in Barcelona (Spain) with a long history in the manufacturing of arcade parts. Originally known for supplying parts to the HAPP joystick company until it moved its production to China (SUZO), Industrias Lorenzo continued to manufacture its own high-quality joysticks under its own brand.

These joysticks are undoubtedly of higher quality than the current HAPP Suzo ones and surely the preferred ones by Arcade Express. And please don't buy the chinese copy knockout ones! They are terrible!!!

The Eurojoystick 2 is a medium travel joystick with a medium tension movement, ideal for all kinds of arcade genre games. The precise and soft moves of this joystick when playing is just amazing thanks to the mounted Cherry microswitches. 

Personally, we believe that these joysticks are the ultimate solution for anyone looking for an all-in-one joystick. Its performance in games such as The King of Fighters, The Last Blade, Beat Em Ups, Final Fight and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is simply excellent.

Of medium and not very long travel, this joystick is great to execute combos in games such as Street Fighter II. The same goes for Shoot'em Ups such as DoDon Pachi, Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun, etc.
