This is the newer octagonal restrictor gate designed for current-generation Seimitsu LS-56-01 joysticks equipped with Omron microswitches.

Please note that this gate is not compatible with older LS-56-01 models that use Panasonic microswitches.

How to Identify Panasonic vs. Omron Versions

Without disassembling the joystick, the easiest way to identify which version you have is by the color of the restrictor gate:

• White Restrictor Gate = Panasonic switch version
• Black Restrictor Gate = Omron switch version

This octagonal gate is intended only for LS-56-01 joysticks with the black Omron-version restrictor gate.
