Review: BETTER THAN I THOUGHT - 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.....
Review: I NEED ANOTHER ONE - My wife got this for me as an early birthday present. I am not in the least bit disappointed. I own all 4 consoles that this works on but rather than plug it in to the Xbox one or ps4 n try it with tekken 7 or injustice 2, I took it for a spin on my PS3 n played all my childhood favorites. I started with pacman and Galaga which were on the Namco museum vol 1. Then moved up to mortal kombat arcade trilogy then king of fighters and marvel vs capcom 2. My daughter came in the room and wanted to try her hand at metal slug so we played that for an hour or so. Last but not least on the ps3 we had the 2 of my favorite games as a kid, the simpsons arcade and xmen. For the ps3 this stick works awesome. I tried it with the stock gate it came with which is the square. I don't know much about fight sticks or mayflash or sanwa (which I read is compatible with this model) but I do know the plate didn't feel like the arcades I played in as a child. The box did contain an octagonal plate which I swapped out almost 10 minutes into trying it. I wanted to see if it would change my ability to play. Sure enough, I didn't miss any hadukens or any specials in marvel vs capcom 2. Plays super smooth and has no noticeable lag. I don't own any other fight sticks to compare it to but I will probably buy a mayflash f300 in the future to compare it to and so that when someone comes over to the mancave we can relive those classic arcade games once more. I can't wait to try killer instinct and tekken 7. Only thing I didn't like was the position of the port that you need to connect your controller to. I will more than likely end up getting magicboots but wanted to try the peripheral itself before spending more than I needed to in case the product wasn't up to par with expectations. Luckily my lovely wife gave me the best gift I've had in gaming in a long time. So now that I've tried this, I'm definitely buying the magicboots so I no longer have to drag a controller along with the fight stick. Ps3 is plug n play no controller needed. Not sure about the 360 or Xbox one. Ps4 has to be connected. The stick itself has a nice weight to it, it's easy to open and mess around with customization. Overall it plays great. I would highly recommend if you're looking for a good product at a great price. I wouldn't pay $200 for a "pro" fight stick. This is good enough at half the price. I don't know much about pro peripherals but this has definitely made me a better player.

For the price, it is a really good arcade/fight stick, also really easy to mod because of it's standard sized parts.
