May Flash F500 Elite USB Video Game Controller, Compatible with Xbox Series S/X, Xbox One, Switch, PlayStation 4, PC Windows

Still happy with the joystick after two years... After doing a fair amount of research into gaming pads and joysticks, I looked at many brands, including but not limited to, 8bitdo, console controllers, x arcade, hori, razer panthera, mayflash standard models, and others. I also looked at the design of the Mayflash compared to other gaming pads and joysticks to find the best ergonomic design, dimensions, and weight. Once I found I found the mayflash F500 elite I was quickly sold. Even though the price tag was at the higher end of what I wanted to spend, I am extremely happy with my purchase. I like the bigger design of the F500 elite compared to the F300 elite since it helps prevent joint problems that I have experienced getting back into gaming more recently. There is more space around the stick portion on the left hand side when compared to the other mayflash models which helps prevent joint problems. I can use this stick while gaming in my living room chair or at my desk without feeling like the stick with break easily or be jerked around because of its solid heft. It weighs in at 11 lbs, which is the size of a small infant. In other words, the unit is not going to slide around on you in your lap or on your desk. The case build is solid and high quality as well. The size of the stick is important as I have the real estate on the gaming stick to rest my hands when necessary to prevent joint fatigue. The sanwa buttons provide quick response and the plug and play functionality is great too. I like the elite because it came with the Sanwa buttons so I didn't have to swap them out like I would have in the standard F500 model. I am not into competitive fighting games where I would use this to enter a tournament so I can't speak to it's effectiveness in that realm. I also like the ability of the stick to work with other controllers (adapter purchase is separately required for this to work). The Dinput feature works great to game on PC and Raspberry Pi too. The turbo buttons are nice for games where you would otherwise repeatedly press the same button to keep firing. The potential to customize the artwork is a plus should I decide to do so in the future. The only feature I wish this joystick would have is wireless functionality built into the product. If you buy a separate dongle you can hook up an xbox or playstation controller directly to the stick and have wireless functionality. I would like wireless Dinput build into the stick.

Every other positive reviews you can read are correct. This stick is worth its price point. It's probably considered an "entry level" stick, but I'd say it's a mid tier stick at an entry level price. Pros: Sanwa parts, customization options, universality for multi-system use (and out of the box functionality for most systems), quality materials (nice and weighty), and lots of support from Mayflash on their website. Cons: Only one in my opinion, and not really a con but more an inconvenience. PS3/4 and Xbox 360/One require one of their original controllers for this to work on those systems. So you're basically plugging this stick into a regular controller, and that controller connects to your console as normal. It's basically just one extra connection, and it's honestly a breeze. There is even a way to avoid the extra wire and console controller alltogether. It's called the Magicboot (for PS4 or Xbox One, they are on Mayflash's website too and can be ordered through amazon). The fightstick has an USB port on the front of it for one of these dongles. The dongle "acts" as the original controller you need connected. Gets rid of all the clutter of using the console controller and reduces it to a little USB dongle sticking a half inch out the front of the stick. Bonus: Many reviews recommended getting a GT-Y octagonal restrictor plate for the joystick since the stick comes with a square gate. I opened my F500 Elite just 10 minutes ago and guess what I found, an included octagonal gate! I purchased the 8way gate I thought I needed because I didnt know this came with one. Mayflash should update their product description to reflect this if it is indeed included going forward. So yeah, stick is solid. Tournament grade parts to start with, can be tricked out as you like, and is universal. The 8-way restrictor plate was an added bonus.

I was looking for an arcade stick that would work well across a variety of emulated systems running in RetroPie on my Raspberry Pi 4. I also wanted a stick with a high quality build. After a lot of research I decided to get the Mayflash F500 Elite. I have not been disappointed. I have successfully played numerous platforms: MAME, NEO GEO, Atomiswave, Naomi, Dreamcast, Super Nintendo, Sega Master System, etc. It works great for all of them, just requires a little bit of controller remapping in the emulator. My biggest concern was getting an arcade stick compatible with Neo Geo games (the 4 buttons across format) and the F500 Elite’s SNK Mode makes this possible with the flip of a switch. My only issue is that when I play Neo Geo games, I have to flip to SNK Mode, reboot RetroPie, then configure the controller all over again. This is the only way I can get the SNK Mode to work in RetroPie. But it does work properly after that. Not really a problem, just more of an inconvenience when I want to switch between several platforms in one gaming session. The build quality is very high. This is a very sturdy accessory that was built to last. The Sanwa buttons and joystick give it an authentic arcade feel with amazing responsiveness. It is very easy to swap out buttons or joysticks or to add a custom template. It comes installed with a 4-way joystick gate but installing the included 8-way octagonal gate was a breeze. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase. It fits my retro gaming needs perfectly and works well with the Raspberry Pi 4. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality arcade stick compatible with a variety of systems or emulators.

Controle perfeito sem oque reclamar

Ho acquistato il MAYFLASH Arcade Stick F500 Elite e ne sono estremamente soddisfatto. Uno dei punti forti è il gate limitatore Sanwa quadrato a 8 vie, ben realizzato e soprattutto ruotabile, così da trasformarsi in un gate a 4 vie con forma a diamante. Questa caratteristica lo rende ideale per i classici arcade come Pac Man, Galaga o 1942, dove la precisione delle direzioni cardinali è fondamentale. Nella confezione è incluso anche il gate ottagonale (non Sanwa), utile per chi preferisce un diverso tipo di controllo. Il joystick utilizza componenti di qualità: leva Sanwa con switch Omron e pulsanti Sanwa, una combinazione che garantisce reattività, solidità e un ottimo feeling. Ero indeciso se acquistare il modello F500 V2 a 74,99 EUR, per poi eventualmente modificarlo con componenti Seimitsu o Sanwa. Considerata la differenza di prezzo, alla fine ho preferito optare direttamente per la versione Elite a 111,99 EUR. La mainboard del V2 offre quattro connettori JST a 2 pin per le direzioni UP, LEFT, RIGHT e DOWN, ma anche nella versione Elite è possibile aggiungerli senza difficoltà se si dispone di un saldatore. Accessori inclusi: • cavo USB A femmina → USB C maschio (15 cm) • cavo USB A maschio → USB micro maschio (100 cm) • cavo USB A maschio → USB C maschio (100 cm) • cavo USB A maschio fisso (300 cm) • 4 piedini in gomma con relative viti • gate limitatore quadrato a 8 vie commutabile a 4 (Sanwa) - premontato • gate limitatore ottagonale (generico, non Sanwa) Nel complesso, un arcade stick che supera le mie aspettative e che consiglio senza esitazioni. Venduto da TransChased e spedito da Amazon.

Der Stick ist für den Preis unschlagbar für Ein/Umsteiger. Die Bauteile sind die gängigen berühmt berüchtigten Sanwa Originalteile, welche sich beim spielen einfach nur gut anfühlen. Der Stick an sich hat einen Boden aus Metall der für ein ordentliches Gewicht sorgt damit er beim spielen nicht verrutscht. Der Rest des Gehäuses besteht aus gut verarbeitetem Hartplastik. Oben drauf befindet sich noch eine mit Magneten befestigte Glasplatte, welche sich einfach entfernen lässt um ein eigenes Artwork darunter einzusetzen (Vorsicht: ein gängiger A4 Drucker reicht hier von der Größe her nicht aus). Wer gerne Fighting Games wie Tekken, FighterZ, Street Fighter etc. spielt und sich überlegt mal einen Stick zu probieren, dem ist dieses Modell zum Einstieg uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen. Mir macht es mittlerweile um einiges mehr Spaß auf dem Stick als auf einem Gamepad zu spielen, außerdem tun mir die Finger nicht mehr so schnell weh. Einziger Negativpunkt für mich persönlich, wobei das schon sehr speziell ist: Der Stick funktioniert leider nicht über die Steam Link App meines Samsung SmartTVs. Zwar erkennt der Fernseher den Stick problemlos, aber sobald die Verbindung zu meinem PC hergestellt wird, erkennt Steam ihn nicht mehr. Nochmal, dies bezieht sich nur auf die Nutzung via Steam Link über einen SmartTV, nicht auf Steam im allgemeinen, am PC funktioniert alles problemlos.

Title says it all really. Great value arcade stick! Works fantastic with all my systems, Switch and Pc (without controllers and Xbox One X and Series X (with controllers). Honestly I had no problem having to connect controllers to it for some systems. But if that bothers you there are ways around this (but they will require extra money). Personally I don't feel the need to do so. Awesome quality Sanwa buttons and joystick. Has two metal plates inside so has a nice weight to it which is nice. Easy to customize the top faceplate. In my case I just brought a cheap poster from Kmart and removed the buttons/joystick/clear plastic top, then traced around the plastic top and cut out with hobby knife/sessors. Love having the ability to do that! THANK YOU Mayflash for a great unit!!
