MAYFLASH Universal Arcade Fighting Stick F500 for Switch/Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, Windows, macOS, Android, Raspberry Pi, Steam Deck, PS Classic, NEOGEO Mini

I had bought a Razer Atrox for Xbox one the first one the lid was cracked when I opened the box got a second one after 2 days of use the lid on it cracked took it back and got the last one GameStop had opened the box and the lid on that one was also cracked. So I bought this MAYFLASH F500 not sure what I would get as this was $120.00 cheaper than the Razer. I was surprised that this one seem to be made better than the Razer. Had good weight to it and work with all my fighting games. The one thing it has that the Razer dose not have is a Head Phone jack and that I like has I like to play my games with my headset so I don't trouble my wife. The joystick feels good and the buttons are smooth and responsive. Also having a PS4 I don't have to buy two sticks. I would say this is a great stick for the money. If I feel like I need to I can always get the Sanwa joystick and buttons and put them in which is nice. It just go to show that it dose not always have to be a big name $200.00 arcade stick to work good.P.S. update.Just got the Magicboots for Xbox one and it works great no more having to plug in the controller and the headphones still work. I'm now going to order the Magicboots for the PS4.Best arcade stick for the money. Thanks MAYFLASH. This comes from a 65yr old video gamer.This comes as a second update as I just installed the Sanwa arcade stick and Sanwa buttons and they work great this update makes this stick better than the $200.00 Razer Atrox that I tried. With the magicboots for the Xbox one & PS4 you can't get a better stick for the money. This is a must buy if you are into DIY updates. I will say that Mayflash is going to be coming out with a F500 elite with Sanwa parts already installed next year and that comes from Mayflash support. Any way Happy Holidays and keep gaming.Update:Bought this in November 2018 first picture is stock stick next two pictures are after the Sanwa update mod. This arcade stick has worked with out any problems have been using the Xbox one magicboots. After buying all the Sanwa parts the joystick, 8- 30mm buttons, 1- 24mm button, the ribbon cable for the joystick, a 2lb spring, over sized actuator, and 8 button Sanwa silencer washers, the gray ball top. I have $185.00 in the Arcade stick which is still less than the Razor Atrox that I bought that was broken right out the box. I use this stick every day for at least 2 to 3 hrs. This has been my best investment for playing my fighting games.It's been 1yr and this arcade stick has held up way better than I thought it would and I use it everyday. So the only thing I can say is buy it mod it use it. It will work great.....

A great controller to mod and use better parts on! I got this for only $10 more than the F300, and considering it is basically a larger version of that, I am happy with my purchase. Any 30mm snap-in buttons should fit in fine, although I had to brute force my Seimitsu PS-14-G's in. I also lacked the 5 pin wiring harness to connect my joystick, but the wires from the stock joystick were easy enough to solder to the points on my LS-56-01's PCB. The stock joystick also apparently will fit with a Sanwa TP-MA, as well as its square or octagonal gate, and the buttons will work with SW-68 microswitches. I haven't actually tested this as I'm happy with the parts I completely replaced them with, but there is an option to do some more in depth modding if you want to.This controller is so incredibly easy to take apart that you can actually unscrew the front panel, and the magnetized acrylic panel pops off, allowing you to insert custom art, or even machine a new panel with a different layout or whatever you want. I found that the mounting panel for my joystick wasn't quite the right size, using the SE P=40 for a better fit, so I would recommend taking a look at the holes before ordering.There is one caveat in that you must use another controller in order to use this on Xbox 360, Xbox One, or PS4. A USB right angle female to female extension adapter can solve the issue of the plug poking you, or you can buy Mayflash's MagicBoots USB dongles that act as keys for each controller. My purpose in buying a universal controller was so I could use it on both 360 and PS4, and I am happy to say it works great on both. Pretty much any non XInput controller works on PS3, and anything connected through USB can be configured to PC.Search on YouTube "Venom PS3/PS4 Arcade Stick (Mayflash V2) Full Overview and Innards" for an in-depth video on the insides of this controller, though it is going by a different name with some slight PCB changes.I did have some trouble taking the actual joystick out, because the balltop wouldn't unscrew using a flathead, but if you remove the E-Ring holding it together it is very easy to disassemble. Spare E-Rings, also called E-Clips, can be bought at hardware stores like Lowe's for a little over a dollar, if you want to put it back together.If you are on the fence about getting this as a glorified case with a pcb in it, remember to check the placement of your mounting panel's holes, get the $0.75 5 pin female-to-female wiring harness to save yourself some trouble, and make sure you have a couple screwdrivers and some pliers at the ready. Below is a photo of mine, although I haven't gone for an extravagant design or flashy art, I am very happy with it it's performance.
