How It Works
The Link EX Groove consists of three main components: the Top shaft, Base (bottom section), and spring-loaded Collar. Simply pull up on the collar to release the locking mechanism, then separate the shaft sections. Reconnection is just as easy - align and push down until you hear the satisfying click of engagement.
Designed by Clayton Knight (Phreakazoid), this system solves the age-old problem of joystick storage while maintaining the precise feel and responsiveness that Seimitsu joysticks are known for.
