5.0 out of 5 stars Good value Joystick

S. · 4 March 2023

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality arcade stick

1. · 1 May 2021

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.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars The Arcade Comes Home!!!

F. · 15 May 2019

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!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stick!

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

Nice action, I put the octagonal gate in, made it much more precise in Guilty Gear so I could finally kill some combos! Only trouble is, it’s too easy to mod - and spend more money on it!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible quality

K. · 24 November 2018

I bought this for the Sanwa components on the assumption that it would guarantee the devices quality & reliability. I was elated to have found an arcade stick with sanwa components pre-installed for under £100. I am now regretting wasting my time on these F300 Elites. I have actually bought this item twice (I sent one back and got a replacement) hoping the first set of issues I faced were a one-off. The first F300 Elite I got, I sent back after less than a month because the joystick was making a weird popping sound and the buttons were phasing in and out of responding (you had to replug the cables to your DualShock pad to get it functioning again - probably a PCB issue). The arcade stick worked overall, but I see this as a quality and reliability issue. I ordered a replacement. I have had it two weeks, similar issues have occurred, which I was going to let slide and live with these - as I am gradually enjoying arcade stick gaming more & more. But something seems to have now snapped off inside the unit as I was playing it. Something metallic is rattling around inside the unit. This is ridiculous. It is marketed as Sanwa parts which would imply the highest quality arcade/ tournament grade components, but this has been the worst quality & reliability in a piece of gaming hardware I have ever experienced. To be clear, I have not abused or wrecked these arcade sticks, I have owned several Hori’s and a Mad Catz prior to this - all with no issues. I am very particular about keeping my devices well maintained. This will be my last Mayflash purchase (I do not believe it is a Sanwa issue as Sanwa is renowned for its quality & performance, and to be fair the playing experience was good while the device lasted). I am sticking with Hori from now on (which unfortunately does not come with Sanwa components pre-installed). I guess I will have to start modding to try and enjoy Sanwa parts, or, shell out the £200 plus for a Qanba Obsidian, Qanba Dragon, or, a Razer Panthera (the only other arcade sticks I know which come with Sanwa components now MadCatz went out of business). I am gutted that these F300 Elite arcade sticks have failed on me, twice, guess it was just too good to be true.Edit:I do wonder if the stick lever and buttons on this were genuinely Sanwa components due to the experience I have had with 2 units being returned. A point I bit my lip on in the original review but which I now see is a point that has been raised in other reviews. I am not sure how this got so many 5 star reviews, they are not that popular.My thanks go to Bolo for resolving the returns promptly on two occasions and helping in my quest for the perfect Arcade StickI have since bought an original Razer Panthera (for PlayStation), brand new, which comes with Sanwa parts already installed and have not had a single issue over a few years of regular use. I love it. It’s a shame they were discontinued. My next arcade stick will be a Qanba with Sanwa parts specifically for PlayStations

NEOGEO miniで使えました

通. · 27 October 2018

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。

Great beginner fight stick, works on many platforms, and great customer service!

D.B. · 22 September 2023

I really love this fight stick! It works really well on a bunch of different platforms, including pretty much all modern platforms from PS3 to Switch! Though if you want to use it on PS5 or Series X games, you'll also need to pick up something like their Magic-S Ultimate Wireless Bluetooth USB Adapter, which I got for use with my PS5. Figuring out how to get it working on each new console, particularly the PS5 is my only complaint with this stick, but after you're working its fantastic.For the record, I did run into a snag where I couldn't use my stick right away, but because of the simple design and easy to understand construction I was quickly able to open up the stick and diagnose the problem. I was missing an internal wire connecting the joystick to the board (see pictures), but I was able to message Mayflash support and they mailed me a replacement cord at no charge, so fixing this was a breeze!! Huge props to them for that.Overall this is a really great stick for a beginner fighting game player who likes to play on a bunch of different platforms. I love that the face-plate can be easily switched out for something custom later, and the weight and feel of the stick is just right, balancing affordability with quality, and the Sanwa parts here are a great touch. Thanks for making such a great fighting stick, you can tell my kitties love it too!

Excelente producto con componentes sanwa a un buen precio

B. · 27 October 2018

El producto excelente y al precio que lo compre super bien, 2059 pesos y la version elite con palanca y 9 botones sanwa muy barato, en otras partes lo encuentras en 3 mil pesos.En cuanto al material se siente un plastico de buena calidad y su peso es excelente para tenerlo en las piernas la verdad es muy comodo.Lo uso para shield tv y es totalmente compatible, juegos android y streaming funciona bien aunque los botones home y select no los reconoce, para ello debes conectar un mando, en mi caso uno de xbox360 o xboxone para que dichos botones funcionen (magicboots es la solución optima). En pc no necesitas de de nada, aqui funciona todo muy bien.Me hubiera gustado que fuera facil de personalizar como el f500 ya que ese tiene en el.tablero un acrilico que cubre el diseño que puedes cambiar por otro para que tu joystick luzca como tu quieras.En general me gusto mucho el producto y me he decido por comprar otro para poder jugar en multiplayer.

For people who want to play fighting games with gusto.

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).

Good working order and great product.
