About the Product

The Mayflash F300 has a simple design which is fine. You can easily customize this stick so that isn’t really an issue. In terms of size, it’s a decent size and feels quite sturdy which, again, is surprising.

Mayflash F500 is the big brother to F300. It’s bigger and heavier (it has a metal top and bottom plate), so it feels sturdier. Custom artwork is easy to add, and it has a plexi panel on top of the artwork to protect it. It has a headphone jack. There’s a compartment for the USB cable where you can hide it. Support for a vibrating wrist strap (has to be bought separately). Multi-platform support is wide: F500 supports PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC, Android, and as of now F500 supports Nintendo Switch too (after an update to the fightstick itself).

What customers say about "Key Specs"

Mayflash F300 Arcade Fight Stick Joystick

Buttons feel good and have not failed me after over a month of use
My buttons sometimes make squeak noises when I press them as they scrape against the plastic inside. I planned on replacing those first anyway so it doesn't bother me much.
This fighstick is excellent as it comes from the factory works quite well, since I bought it I've been playing Street Fighter 4 with charging players like Balrog and Guile and the stick is good.
The case is durable, the stick feels sturdy, and the buttons are comfortable to press and use.
The stick and buttons that the F300 come with are nothing remarkable, the stick has a square gate and the buttons have a decent give to them.

Mayflash F500 Arcade FightStick

This is a amazing stick even the standard buttons and stick are great for a novice or causal plasyer.
Are you looking for a nice arcade stick with both XInput and DirectInput, that will give you no **** whatosever, is rock-solid, good from factory but easy to modify? Look no further.
A fantastic value for money purchase. I bought this stick after around 20 hours of Tekken 7 and a lifetime of fighting game experience. If you are looking for an "affordable" stick, I would recommend the F500 more than anything.
That's a really good joystick! Perfect to play games like street fighter, tekken and the king of fighters!

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Mayflash F300 Arcade Fight Stick Joystick

Easily modifiable, good size for people with small hands, nice weight, responsive buttons and stick, usable on basically every platform
It has a nice weight to it in my opinion, although most of the weight comes from the metal bottom plate. The size is perfect for me.
The thing that attracted me to this was firstly the price...compared to other sticks of this size its a steal.
The stick has a nice weight to it and also rubber feet on the bottom so it doesn't slide around if you put it on a table.
It feels expensive and the metal blackpate with the rubber feet are a nice touch and isn't uncomfortable on one's lap.

Mayflash F500 Arcade FightStick

It's big enough to use on your lap too and a good weight. I thought build quality was excellent.

What customers say about "Features"

Mayflash F300 Arcade Fight Stick Joystick

Connects great with Nivida Shield Android TV. Works with PS4 and Xbox One.
This fight stick is worth the price! Works great with all my systems. The annoying part is connecting a controller for consoles but I use it for a raspberry pi so it works great!
The buttons and stick might feel very lacking to someone who has used a high end fightstick, might be too small for people with big hands.
It is compatible with PS4, but it requires either directly connecting it to a PS4 controller (annoying for tournaments and in general) or switching to PS3 mode.
He's had it for a month and it still doesn't connect right away. If it does connect, if you move even the slightest, the controller disconnects. This can be very frustrating when playing ranked.

Mayflash F500 Arcade FightStick

The arcade stick itself gets 5 stars. When the PS4 usb dongle is plugged in the stick sometimes shuts itself off. When daisy-chained with a controller it never has.
Very good build quality you can use it in any console and its customizable
Superb I'm using on pc and have easily upgraded all buttons and joystick to Sanwa. Simple to mod no soldering as the boards compatible with JST-XH female to female cable so just plug into the new Sanwa Joystick JLF-TP-8YT and the board works perfect and use 30 mm buttons except for start 24mm.
It comes by default with a square gate installed (octagon gate included in the order) and a customizable plate on top. Easy to switch out components, too. For a starter stick, this is definitely the one I would recommend.
