01. 6061 Aluminum Lower Housing

The lower housing uses 6061 aluminum alloy, one of the key material changes from the original V3.

02. Replaceable Hemispherical Pivot Bearing

The lower housing has been redesigned with a replaceable hemispherical pivot bearing. This serviceable design allows the bearing to be inspected and replaced as needed.

03. CNC-Machined White Acetal Grip

The lever uses a Nobi-style grip CNC-machined from white acetal. The white grip shown in the photos is supplied with the standard configuration.

04. Stainless Steel Shaft with Bolt Fastening

The stainless steel shaft uses a bolt fastening system that helps prevent rotation when tightened. An 8 mm wrench can be used when installing the grip.

05. TP601 Spring Support Components

The spring support components use TP601 red specialty plastic. These parts have also been updated from the original V3.

A closer look at the V3 Premium grip, shaft, and body construction.

Rounded-Square Describes the Gate Shape

The restrictor gate defines the shaft's travel limits. The lever supports up, down, left, right, and diagonal inputs; rounded-square refers to the shape of the opening inside the gate.

The black part on the underside is the standard rounded-square restrictor gate.

Standard Gate vs. Optional Gate Set

A rounded-square gate is fitted as standard. The square, octagonal, and circular gate set shown below is sold separately and is not included with the lever.

Optional Purchase

The V3 Restrictor Gate Set is sold separately and is not included with the lever.
Select it as an optional add-on when placing your order.

01. Flat Design and V3 Mounting Plate

The V3 Premium has a flat, collarless design and uses the SANJUKS V3 mounting plate. Compare the mounting holes in the drawing below with your case, and check for clearance around the shaft and panel.

V3 mounting plate drawing from the product listing. Compare it with your actual mounting area.

02. Body Height and Internal Clearance

The listed body height is approximately 39.5 mm, excluding the grip, shaft, and collar. The listing notes that measurements may vary by 2–3 mm. Allow additional space for the switch terminals and wiring.

03. 8-Pin Connection and Adapter Harness

The lever uses an 8-pin connection via individual microswitch terminals. Arcade sticks with an existing 5-pin connector require a 5-pin to 8-pin adapter harness. Check your PCB pinout and switch terminal specifications before choosing a harness.

Included Product and Optional Items

Spring Return Feel

The V3 Premium uses a spring-based mechanism. Resistance and return-to-center feel may vary with the condition of the spring and support components, as well as where you hold the grip.

How the Gate and Switches Work

The restrictor gate defines the lever's travel limits, while the Gersung A3 microswitches register directional inputs. Changing the gate alters the feel at the travel limits, so spend some time with the standard rounded-square gate first.

Check the Grip and Shaft Fasteners

Check that the grip and shaft are secure and have no unwanted play. An 8 mm wrench can be used to install the grip. Check the fastening carefully to avoid damaging bolts or threads.

Choose Replacement Parts for the V3

When replacing gates or internal components, check the product name, supported model, and specifications. Parts from other SANJUKS levers may not be interchangeable, even if they look similar.

STEP 01

Disconnect Power and Record the Existing Setup

Unplug the arcade stick's USB connection and disconnect power before opening the case. Photograph the existing lever orientation, wiring order, and mounting screw positions to help with reassembly.

STEP 02

Check Mounting Positions and Clearance

Compare the V3 mounting plate holes with your case and check for interference around the panel and beneath the lever. Secure it where the switch terminals and wiring will not be pinched.

STEP 03

Check the Grip and Gate Fasteners

Check that the grip, shaft fastening bolt, and lower gate are secure. If you have installed an optional gate, check that its screws are evenly secured, then move the lever to check for interference.

STEP 04

Connect the Wiring and Test Every Direction

Connect the switch terminals without stretching or pinching the wires. Remove your hands and tools from the case, then connect power and test up, down, left, right, diagonals, and neutral. If everything works correctly, disconnect power again before closing the bottom panel.

If a Direction Is Reversed

Disconnect power and check your original wiring photos and the PCB pinout. Identify the common and directional signal wires instead of relying on wire colors alone.
