MAYFLASH Arcade Stick F300 Elite with Sanwa Buttons and Sanwa Joysticks for Xbox Series X, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Switch/Switch 2, Android, PC Windows, macOS, Steam Deck, NEOGEO Mini,MEGA Drive, Genesis

This is a great Fight stick for anyone who prefers not to use a gamepad. It works with every system , easy to setup and easy to get going with you're chosen console/pc. Comes with an octagonal gate fitted and a spare one in the box. Can be switched between D-pad and X/Y control , so easy to switch between games. Plus it's only 90 quid. Great bit of kit for those that don't want to drop 200 quid on the Pro sticks.

Excellent , I bought this after seeing an Article for C64 (Commodore Emulation) games and it being recommended works well for All games that require a Joystick (haven't tried it with Joytokey yet but see no reason why it would not work, all i all very pleased

As my first fighting stick this is good as a start and enjoying sanwa parts without breaking the bank.

Got this because I was fed up of playing guilty gear with a gamepad a messing up all my moves. After a little research this seemed to be one of the cheapest options with high quality parts. Worked right out the box on PC with no setup, feels great to use, and my word fighting games instantly became so much easier to play that I don't know how I ever managed without it

I love the original arcade games making their way onto the Nintendo Switch. But I always miss that arcade feeling of a hardcore stick with real buttons. The Mayflash F300 Elite brings actual arcade (Sanwa) controls into your home. And it’s the business. Top build quality, sturdy and a real arcade stick and buttons. Works seamlessly with the Switch and also Retropi, mac and the C64 Mini. Nemesis, R-Type and Final Fight are a dream to play on this. It’s such a thrill to actually have that genuine arcade control at home. Brilliant!!!

I’ve used many different sticks but so far this one is my favourite. High quality parts and seamlessly works on all of my consoles (plug & play on Switch, controllers needed for PS4 & Xbox Series S). 10/10

This is an excellent and well made arcade stick. It's very comfortable to use. The stick and buttons are super responsive. They are Japanese-made arcade quality Sanwa units and should last for many years. It seems very well built generally: solid, no nonsense construction. It comes with 4 and 8 way gates, which are easily interchangeable by removing the bottom plate. It works with a wide range of platforms: I've used it with my PC, PS4 and Switch.

I have been using cheapest-of-the-cheap sticks for quite a while now and with the release of Street Fighter 6 I thought I'd try something a little better. The F300 Elite is still considered a budget controller (whose budget - lol) but it contains Sanwa parts - the same as the more expensive brands. First impressions were very good - it's not a particularly aesthetically pleasing item but it feels really sturdy - almost industrial. Coming from cheap controllers I was surprised how light the buttons were - very little pressure and motion is needed to register a press. This could be a challenge if you're used to leaving your finger over a button. Compatibility is excellent. It works out of the box with PC and Switch (I have a Lite which tested fine but obviously a bit impractical to use!). Using the passthrough (plugging a native controller into the back of the MayFlash) I also tested PS3, PS4, XBox One, Series S, Xbox 360 - all good. It also works on PS5 for PS4 games as long as you've got a Dual Shock 4 knocking about. Stick motion is good and again 'feels' quite light. Unfortunately I just could not pull off a DP/623/Dragon punch (facing right) move consistently - it always felt like I was having to force the stick into the diagonal for it to register. I tried changing the gate to the octagonal one (very simple operation - it just clicks on) and I was having the same issue. I have had no problems with my cheaper sticks in the past - so I don't know if it's just this unit or my muscle memory. Either way it wasn't suiting me so I've sent it back. Awarded 3 stars for the build quality - and assuming the stick is good and you take to it then this is a good buy. -Andy

Updated to 1 star as current latest firmware (1ms input delay) is freezing while using PS4/5. When it happens, I need to disconnect and connect again and push PS button. It is happening on my 3 devices. Tech support replied that there is not such issue they know. The support person instructed me to ungraded and upgrade firmware, but it does not help. == Updated 5 to 4 star as it appeared DInput is not supported. I spent more than several hours to figure out and contacted to customer service as well. But it just verified that it is not working. DInput mode is not working as advertised as 100% compatible. I hope they can fix by firmware update. Verified working: PS4 with console mode: DOA5LR Switch with console mode: Tetris Puyopuyo, Pokken, Ikaruga PC (Steam) with XInput mode: Tetris Puyopuyo, Tekken 7, Soul Calibur 6 PC (Steam Link) with console mode: Soul Calibur 6 PC (Steam Link) with DInput mode: Soul Calibur 6 Not working with any setting (XInput, DInput, PS4) PC(Steam with any mode): DOA5LR (I think it support only DInput) PC (Steam Link) with XInput mode: Soul Calibur 6 ==== Note for Steam Link It does not work with XInput, but it works with Console mode and DInput. It required to configure controller within Steam Link settings. I'm not sure the difference between Console mode and DInput, but both worked. Verified working: Soul Calibur 6 with both Consoe mode and DInput mode. Verified not working: DOA5LR (it might be game side issue) ==== It is F500 price ($89.99) for F300 ($54.97) features. But it comes with Sanwa parts. So if you are considering to replace to Sanwa parts. You don't need to do with this. I has almost all current gaming machines are supported. I think this is cheapest Arcade Stick with Sanwa parts as well. This is different and newer from F300 and no firmware update required to support Switch. One tips for restrictor gate plate for Sanwa lever customization. I would recommend to purchase following parts. Sanwa GT-Y Octagonal Restrictor Plate for JLF Joysticks https://www.amazon.com/SANWA-GT-Y-Octagonal-Restrictor-Joysticks/dp/B06VVG936T/ Original parts is 4/8 way switch. If you use regular 8 way game, above octagonal gate is much better than 4/8 gate. If you play 4 way games (Puyo Puyo, Tetris, etc), use original plate and change setting to 4 way. It's so much easier than 8 way setting for 4 way games. It may takes 5-10 min with screwdriver. 2 point I do not like, but not much issue. 1) Pricing I hope this is about $75 range. Since F300 original parts are not need it. 2) Body Color It is greenish gray color. It looks really old device even new. I preferred just solid black or other color But over all this is great device. You can use most of game machine and no need to exchange to Sanwa parts. Well, I bought 4 unit of this model. 2 for 8 way usage. 2 for 4 way usage.

ファームウェアアップデートしたら使えました。がNEOGEO mini本体の電源ONと本器との接続どちらが先かは忘れてしまいましたが、最初繋いだ時は認識されませんでした。またNEOGEO mini用の切替SWもメーカHP見ても分かりにくかったので、ググりましたら代理店のHP等記載あり無事使えるようになりました。 上記の通り最初は不便ではありましたが、NEOGEO miniに中継無しで使えるのと部品交換を自分でできるというメリットから星5としました。

My first arcade stick. The lever and buttons are great. Works on my PC. I played Street Fighter 6 on Steam. But I think the price is a little expensive. Thanks Amazon!

Arcade sticks are hard to learn. You have to relearn all the muscle memory, where everything is, and it will be frustrating. Could even take a long time to get fully comfortable. Did for me. Now I can't go back. But it's worth it. Not only do you stand out from everyone else rocking their dualshocks, not only do you can you use the same fightstick for every game on (just about) every console, but it also convinces you that you're a better player than you are. You aren't. I had to learn that the hard way. But that's okay. As the title (a quote stolen from Maximilian Dood) says, if you have a touch of derringdo, then definitely consider it. Arcade sticks are the most tactile way to pay fighting games. Slamming the stick, slapping the buttons. Sounds and feels excellent. Solid construction, quality parts, wide compatibility, the only minor gripe is the aesthetics, but you can always slap on a skin. Can also fit on your lap comfortably. This size is the perfect middle ground, as it's not cramped to use, and the portability is passable (considering).

It arrived on time and had excellent communication with the seller. Buy from the seller with confidence. A+++
