Introducing the GRS Super Joystick IKARI WARRIORS EDITION

Ever since the golden era of arcades, iconic games like the SNK Ikari Warriors series, Data East Midnight Resistance, SNK T.N.K III, and Taito Front Line Arcade have captured the imagination of players in the 1980s. Especially memorable is the legendary Ikari Warriors, a game that holds a nostalgic place in the hearts of countless gamers. Until now, it was challenging to fully recapture the magic of the original rotary joystick gameplay. But today, at Glen's Retro Show and Thunderstick Studio, we're changing that.



We're beyond excited to present the GRS Super Joystick, a product of our dedication to rekindling those precious gaming memories. In a monumental leap, we've collaborated with SNK and secured the official license of Ikari Warriors, integrating it as a key feature of our product. But that's not all. We've brought the experience full circle, creating an exclusive limited-edition package that isn't just a joystick but a piece of gaming history. 

When you unbox the GRS Super Joystick, you'll be met with the iconic Ikari Warriors imagery adorning our unique packaging. It's not just about aesthetics. Our team has innovated the packaging to include a control panel-shaped rig box with pre-drilled holes. Users can easily pop off these holes to assemble the high-quality arcade buttons and the GRS Super Joystick onto the rig box, transforming the packaging into a fully functional control panel. That's right. Your packaging becomes part of your gaming experience, complete with licensed artwork from the Ikari Warriors arcade cabinet, ready for use with iconic arcade games requiring rotary functions.



This limited-edition GRS Super Joystick Ikari Warriors edition aims to recreate and enhance the original gaming experience. It incorporates state-of-the-art technology like Hall Sensors, Hybrid USB Protocols, and Software-Defined Joystick Control Key Values. The joystick is designed to be user-friendly, requiring no technical knowledge, and offers a plug-and-play solution suitable for both veteran gamers and newcomers.

TS-RJConfigurator Software: 


The TS-RJConfigurator is a specialized application designed for the GRS Super Joystick, intended for use on Windows PC(x86). This software enables users to customize the functionality of the GRS Super Joystick extensively and provides an interface for firmware updates. We're continually enhancing and optimizing the product and will be releasing periodic firmware updates to meet the evolving needs of our users.



Key Features include:

  1. Keyboard Mode Customization: Users can macro-define the key values triggered by the rotary knob's actions, including clockwise rotation, counter-clockwise rotation, pulling up, and pushing down.
  2. Mouse Mode Adjustments: Users can specify mouse movement modes by toggling between the x-axis and y-axis.
  3. Mouse Movement Customization in Mouse Mode: The distance triggered by the rotary knob's rotation can be adjusted, aligning the knob's output with traditional spinner movements.
  4. Joystick Orientation Customization: Allows adjustments to the joystick directional orientation at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°.
  5. Controller Tester Interface: Users can utilize this interface to test and verify the joystick's output.

GRS Super Joystick Ikari Warriors - challenging build?

Bought during the Spring sale $20 off; Box and parts are a good deal, instructions are a little confusing, and video good idea but hands block view and don't verbally explain which buttons are pressed, and must be watch multiple times. Freeze frames and visuals graphical aids could help. Button order is personal preference but why, must be understood (eg. like a LEGO manual). I had to remove joystick as wire harness plugs (J1 & J3) need to be inserted before screwing JS base into supplied box, little room between box side and sockets. Note: first five wires for Way/Mode, next Gnd & Buttons 1-6, and Buttons 7-12 should be grouped as separate sub harnesses to ease assembly, plus colour code is on web-page. You should note button female connectors have locking tabs that should be pressed before removing wires. I did modify the spinner top harness to add more abrasion resistance and limit movement of fine wires to stop metal wire fatigue (see picture). Box is a little small on the left size because rotation action of fingers on device requires extra room than normal stick but is a size, cost compromise and okay for now.
No fault of GRS and Tsticks, biggest peeve is even with Spring sale of $20 off; UPS got more profits with over double cost in shipping/brokerage fee/COD fee (unavoidable). I see deal on Amazon.com at +$10 but would work cheaper in long run by 20-30%.

Amazing quality

Amazing quality and the only controllers that really bring a lot of classic arcade games to life (Ikari Warriors, Guerrilla War, Midnight Resistance etc.) Supports many platforms. A must buy for retro gaming enthusiasts.

High quality Rotary Joystick, feels like the real thing and works great. Nice clear instructions. Ikari Warriors on Mame with this Joystick is a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Recommend purchase.

Lovely build quality and packaging.

Overall mostly really pleased with the quality and presentation. It doesn't seem to be 100% compatible with the Raspberry Pi 3B+ i was using as several of the "modes" didn't seem to be recognized. Also the connectors that go through the shaft and into the plug on the base of the Joystick seem really fragile. I'd like to see a more robust version of the stick available without the lovely packaging, as I'm planning to build a Midnight Resistance cab that needs two. But a really lovely product, this is way more satisfying to use than the old Happ rotary stick that was so laggy as to be useless. highly recommended.

Great stick, fantastic value with a few quirks.

Everything other than mentioned below are perfect. I will only mention the bads.

Cons:
1. Top gets loose 10 minutes into intense gaming. Need a screwdriver on hand.
2. Too tall, nearly 50% taller than original joystick a bit hard to get used to.
3. Can you add pixel movements (spinner) mode as a 4th way so we dont have to run the configurator each time.
