This simple device finally gave me a reason to own a fighting stick on switch. Now I can store my arcade stick anywhere.

Well. Bought the RAP5 from Amazon. The fightstick is quite good as expected. But I really don't like the looseness of the joystick itself as compared to sanwa. And of course since I travel alot, portability is a big problem since I would have to buy a special bag to fit the arcade stick. So, what I did was:

1. For the looseness feel. I changed the spring in the joystick to Sanwa's 2lb spring. It really made a lot of difference for me. Finally got the feel of Sanwa's stick that I like. Got the spring from www.arcadeworlduk.com

2. For the portablity. I change the shaft to this genius device from Phreakmod called simply, the Link. https://www.arcadeworlduk.com/products/the-...-sanwa-jlf.html
With this device install, now I can store my arcade stick anywhere I like and put it in any decent size bags without worrying that I would damage the stick.

All in all, it was a worthy purchase for me at least. Just to prepare for the eventual release of lots of fighting games for switch.

I think you better get from playasia. Postage from there to Malaysia might be cheaper. I'm based in UK so the price was quite affordable for me. Dunno about the Phreakmods link whether or not they sell it at PlayAsia.

I'm selling Nintendo switch lite Zacian and Zamazenta edition below your asking price. PM if interested.
