@@aqilafzal3091 Late reply, but just for future reference for others, the answer is no. You can't use the controller you've plugged into the Mayflash for multiplayer (At least on the F500 Elite; I'm sure the F300 works similarly).
for those of you coming to this video 2 year later to check if this fightstick is good for your first fight stick, the answer is yes. However, if your looking into upgrading this stick with a Korean lever for games like Tekken, then you're gonna have to physically mod the shell of the case to fit the larger stick into this case. What I mean by that is that your going to have to drill a larger hole into the base of where the stick connects to in order to fit the stick. If your just going to use this stick with Japanese levers, then you'll be fine. I've upgraded mine with different buttons and a different stick and it's amazing. I love this stick and I would highly recommend this.
@@TraumaER Swapped in Sanwa stick and Sanwa buttons both of my setups. I also put in 8 way gates. The stock stuff is semi-acceptable but if you want a little more top quality feel and no excuses, the Sanwa stuff drops right in. Unfortunately Happ sticks and buttons are too long to fit these boxes. An extra 7mm and they'd be golden but the box is too shallow for the stick and even the short shank buttons.

The form and function is exactly what I was looking for. I also had a $200 MadCatz Fightstick TE that I put 1000s of hours on. I like the modded Mayflash as much or more because of their almost universal compatibility. The MadCatz came with a full Sanwa setup but it only works for PS3.
@@hammskie05 So you like it as is then? I'm getting it tomorrow and I was thinking of modding mines but few people have said the swana stick will improve it, but the swana buttons will improve vs the stock ones only slightly apparently.

Same with the older PS2/USB cuz it works in the PS1 as well (soo smooth for Bloody Roar 2) only modification I would recommend is swap the stick some time after when it gets loose and will be ready to rock for a some more years, buttons could feel a little cheaper than they actually are, secondary buttons definitely needs a replacement later in its life
Okay, I'm sold! This will be my first fight stick & I'm really digging that it will work on ps4 & Switch! I didn't want to have to buy 2 fight sticks, so this is a real selling point for me! I'm glad its also a good stick to use! Im not gonna be competitive, but I felt like my controller takes too much of a beating with fighting games lol Awesome, thanks for the review!
@@wardog2770 Hey, the timing on this is funny because I literally bought a gaming pc yesterday to play Street Fighter 5 for streaming. I was on PS4 but felt that the best experience was on PC. I'm happy to say that I'm still using my F300 because it genuinely is a great stick. I initially intended to upgrade the buttons and parts, but honestly I've been happy with the standard ones. The stick is perfectly fine. I'm at the point now where getting a more premium stick would be cool, but I honestly am perfectly happy to keep the Mayflash :)
Great review. I've got one on the way as I type this. Looking to use this for the 30th Anniversary Street Fighter Collection next week. I want that true arcade feel from back in the day.
Thanks for the review and good to hear it's more than decent. I'd want a stick for nothing more than messing around with the classic fighting/arcade games, nothing serious. But I stil don't want a pile of crap, I'm no expert but I used to spend a lot of time in arcades and know a horrible stick from a good one. Getting flashbacks of that really tall, rought textured stick with the big 'pill box' shaped top, it was always loose and felt like there were no gate at all.
Just picked one up today and installed the octagonal restrictor plate immediately. Messed around in MK11 with it and I love this thing. I mean... 60 bucks!? I couldn't pass on it especially since I'm completely new to arcade/fighter sticks. Nice review!
OMG the prices in the philippines are insane!! I saw it on amazon for $60 which is about 3,000 pesos which is not that bad considering the performance of it, but when I saw the prices on lazada(the asian version of amazon) I was stunned, it was 11,000 pesos which is about 200 dollars. And I knew the prices would be a bit higher since it would be imported here but i didnt know it would be that much. Thanks for the recommendation tho!!
Thanks for this review! I've been thinking about getting a fight stick and this was the one I had my eyes on. It looks nice and I'm only buying one for small personal use at home. This one seems perfect and now I'm confident this is the one for me. Also, the setup was so nice and comfy. I really enjoy it.
Ive never played with a stick before, but have recently gotten really into DBZ fighterz. Think making the swtich to stick could be a good thing for the long run?
I compare to to learning music theory using a piano vs using guitar. Visually and ergonomically the piano is the superior learning tool for understanding the concepts of playing and writing music. Fight sticks are similar in that they visually and ergonomically make more sense in how we move and interact with our fighter than a controller pad since it's designed purpose is to work with multiple styles of games while fight sticks are particularly designed for that genre of game.
Phew! Glad I watched this before I bought a cheaper one. This makes WAY more sense, for 10$ more it works so much better and it works with both my PS4 snd switch. It’s like 55$ on eBay
I have an F300 and I can confirm it's super easy to mod. I added a Sanwa JLF stick with a Freakmod (mandatory upgrade), and replaced the buttons for Sanwa Silent Gen 2s. I really didn't have anything against the stock buttons, in fact, I thought they had a very satisfying feel, and were very clicky, which I think is cool. However, my GF typically sleeps earlier than me, and my gaming rig is in the room, so I needed to silence the F300 so that I could play without waking her up.
Looks cool and I like that you could easily mod this with Sanwa buttons and joysticks. Though I won't be getting one, Mayflash seems to be improving a lot lately. Not bad at all. Too bad about the joystick though.
Hey did you notice any input lag when playing anything? I think you mentioned a bit on PS4 with SFIV but not on KI on Xbox One which is interesting since KI is extremely fast paced.
For the Mayflash F300, I recommend a light blue sanwa button with a green rim for X/A, a red sanwa button with a red rim for circle/B, a pink sanwa button with a dark blue rim for square/X, a green sanwa button with a yellow rim for triangle/Y and four black sanwa buttons with black rims for the L1/LB, L2/LT, R1/RB and R2/RT buttons. And as for the lever, a Myoungshin Fanta.
Just ordered the elite version of this with the sanwa buttons installed. Was so close to getting a tournament edition number to treat myself but the compatibility with this thing is off the chain. Hopefully the best middle ground considering the price of these things
I know this may be a weird question, but did anyone's fightstick come shrink-wrapped? Mine did not and I am curious as to how they prevent theft of this stick. Almost everything these days is shrink- wrapped, but not this stick?
whats the best option to go with, so that i can upgrade it with korean taeyoung stick in the future? can this arcade stick be upgraded like that? wihout too much hassle
having to plug your controller is pretty lame but I guess its because it isn't a Licensed product. I might get the Elite version with the sanwa parts considering its priced in line with diy upgrade part. thanks for the video mate, I damaged my left thumb pretty bad and moving to stick is my solution
Really amazing stick. The only bad thing is that you have to plug the controller in it, so you necessarily need two controllers if you want to play with a friend
@@GameHeadNes Lucky. I remember like 20 years ago they were selling these for like $70 or so that were officially from Capcom for Street Fighter games. I knew some friends that built theirs from scratch plywood and all. I like the way the Mayflash looks, but it's somewhat small. Interested in playing MVC2 again and maybe MVC3 with an actual fightstick since being on lockdown gets boring LOL!
i got a question: I have an Andriod TV and a PS4 controller connected wirelessly. So can I just hook the stick with my PS4 controller and play the games in the Andriod TV? thks
How does it compare to the Hori Fighting Stick Mini? Can you play with it on your lap comfortably? Having a PS4 controller connected seems a little off for me.
i never tried a fighting stick, and i'm going to learn fighting games to be my main now, i wanna get good and learn, specially DBFZ, so should i buy this one or Qanba Drone ?
Only reason you would want to avoid this one is if you can't get comfortable with mini sticks (lap placing) otherwise Mayflash are pretty solid starter sticks
got a hori fight stick mini.. its pretty damned noisy when i play it. I hate the clicking sound when i move the joystick. aside form that its alright i guess.. problem with mine is its hard to mod.. i might grab this one and mod it myself if i don't like the initial setup.
Hi there! I've bought my Mayflash F300 after thinking a lot about it, but I bought at an online store, then I don't have it yet and I'm so eager for trying it and I also wanna custumize it with Sanwa parts. Nice video btw.
Thanks! glad you enjoyed. I actually just got done upgrading mine to Sanwa parts, it ran great before but now It runs like a dream! you wont regret getting this stick. I intend on doing a follow up video showing the upgraded stick.
hahahahaha. 'cause I wanted to make sure before buying the Mayflash F300. I saw lots of videos here before making the decision hahahaha. Greetings from Colombia. (y)
Alexis de Jesus Restrepo de La Hoz lol same bro... It's tough importing stuff for us.... I'm in South Africa... Went with the venom official Ps4 stick.... Cost me over 80 pounds 😱😱 just ordered
@@DexZeth nope. It's for people who are smart enough to get stuff at good quality and cheap pricing. At least for these sticks. Hori sells much more expensive stick for the price of a tournament edition.
@@abrogaming5976 But you're spending $80 on a cheaply made shitty mini-stick. How does that make you any smarter? If anything, the people who buy these are dumber. If you want something good, then spend good money. You get what you pay for.
I own 3 Hori sticks, 2 Dreamcast sticks (I think those are Agetec), and this stick. Obviously the Hori sticks are beyond great, but this stick isn't too bad for what it is. I'm just happy that more people are staying true to stick. I went to a convention a few weeks ago and it seemed EVERYONE was using pad. Either way, to each their own. Just enjoy the games and be happy.
Is the button configuration the same as the traditional street fighter button configuration? I looking to get one to play street fighter but dont want to have to customize button configurations in the menu
You can purchase a mayflash magic boots adapter so you don’t have to use a controller. It’s basically just a usb flash drive type adapter that you plug into the USB port of the controller. That way it’s a lot more portable and less hassle. Just plug and play. They have one for the PS4, XBOX ONE, and 360. BTW they are usually around 18 USD on amazon.
I have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering. 1. Do you have to have the Xbox controller plugged in all the time? 2. Can I use this stick while it rests on my lap? Is it comfortable to play on my lap as well? Thank you for this video.
You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed. 1. Unfortunately yes, it needs the Xbox one and or PS4 controller plugged in. It works with the switch right out of the box though. 2. Yes I use it comfortably on my lap all the time. Hope this helps.
ANYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS, PLEASE GRAB YOURSELF THE MAGIC BOOTS DEVICE ON AMAZON. You'll be doing yourself a great service! It eliminates the need for a controller. You also have the option of buying an adapter like the Magic S pro or a TitanOne etc
Do you think the f300 would work well with anime fighters? Like blaze blue/fighterz ( Edit: I just saw the fighterz gameplay, is it good with cancelling your low medium into standing medium into long combos?)
Ricky it's really not much different from most other sticks. The parts are pretty much sanwa clones and feel very similar. And an upgrade to an actual sanwa jlf costs like 20$. I have the f500 the slightly more expensive version. Had the same parts and I used them just fine until I got sanwa stick and buttons. From there its the same as your typical 200$ madcatz stick.
Do I have to use an xbox one wired controller ,or is there a way to hook a USB cord up to an xbox one wireless controller and hook it to the fight stick ?
@@GameHeadNes thank you. I ordered the f500 because Amazon gave me a 70 dollar gift card for signing up for their card. I didn't really need another card with nothing on it but hey ,some lady at Macys talked me into one for some cologne samples a few weeks ago so...
This did not work for me for my f300 mayflash for my ps4... the stick does not respond being everything connected.. the settings on the stick have been copied from a tutorial and still not working. This really sucks
Newbie question: I play the occasional fighting game (DBZ, Smash). But mostly I play platformers and RPG’s. I’ve always wanted an “arcade” experience when playing non-arcade type games...is it possible to play non-fighting games, say, Persona 5 or the upcoming Dragon Quest XI with a fightstick? I see a foreseeable issue that there isn’t two directional pads/analog sticks where one is for movement and one is for controlling the camera. Anybody have any input on this?
Played FighterZ for about a year or so, moved onto Tekken 7, it's been a few months for that game. Only used a ps4 pad. Definitely getting this, man this is really going to feel weird moving from a ps4 pad to a stick isn't it?
Just wanted to ask a question regarding PC play - has anyone used this to play Neo Geo ROMS? I'm really interested in getting to play em without having to fork over hundreds for a system and cable adapters lol More specifically once you have the stick hooked up to your PC, you can configure the emulator to this type of gamepad right?
Ive owned this fightstick for over a year now, love it for the price, sturdy as hell to
Glad I read this comment and found this video, it's just reinforced my decision to buy one in time for SF30th
noo pe I can't say I do, and I've been playing sf4 and 5 with it since I got it, maybe you should try holding the stick differently?
noo pe ring finger and pinky on the base, middle finger pointer finger and thumb all held around the stick
noo pe I mean I use the pointer finger to dash to the right and thumb to go to the left, muscle memory seems to be the key to it, I remember I had an issue doing those to when I was learning stick, but it's not a problem anymore, so I'd say just keep practicing
This is very useful information. Thanks!
Plugging in a ps4 or Xbox one controller is mainly to trick each system into thinking you have a licensed controller plugged in.
But it cannot use both controller as player 1 and player 2 isnt it? Or it possible actually?

The turbo function on arcades sticks is for shooting games that require the repetitive task of pressing a single button to shoot.

Use that for kof xiii to execute drive cancel combos. It's still good ?
How does it compare to the Hori Fighting Stick Mini? Can you play with it on your lap comfortably? Having a PS4 controller connected seems a little off for me.
Its way better than the Hori mini. The buttons on this one are full sized.
Question: what about comfort? I see there's not a big space available for the left hand.
Better or equal to the PXN one?
I have the x arcade tank stick but looking for something more compact will this work for steam fighting games?
Yes it will.
@@GameHeadNes great I'll check it out
Do you plug the usb from the joystick to the switch or the computer?
What’s the name of the sound track in the back ground?
> Sleepless - Drizzle (it's not on youtube but i found it on spotify)
> Lullaby - Justin
> Niềm Nở Bốn Bốn - quang thành
In your opinion, which one is a better stick, the Venom or the Mayflash f300??
Do you have a ps4?
It is a great stick but it cuts off on my PS4 pad. Has that ever happened to you?
Im having trouble making it work in sfv
Love the retro PS4 and controller.
On a scale of 1 to 10, what do rate it?
i never tried a fighting stick, and i'm going to learn fighting games to be my main now, i wanna get good and learn, specially DBFZ, so should i buy this one or Qanba Drone ?
I'm wondering too,I'll pick this one up tommorow because as far I've read,you'll change out the components one day or another
Only reason you would want to avoid this one is if you can't get comfortable with mini sticks (lap placing) otherwise Mayflash are pretty solid starter sticks
Qanba Drone. Qanba is a well known brand with a full sanwa set.
got a hori fight stick mini.. its pretty damned noisy when i play it. I hate the clicking sound when i move the joystick. aside form that its alright i guess.. problem with mine is its hard to mod.. i might grab this one and mod it myself if i don't like the initial setup.
Hi there! I've bought my Mayflash F300 after thinking a lot about it, but I bought at an online store, then I don't have it yet and I'm so eager for trying it and I also wanna custumize it with Sanwa parts. Nice video btw.
Thanks! glad you enjoyed. I actually just got done upgrading mine to Sanwa parts, it ran great before but now It runs like a dream! you wont regret getting this stick. I intend on doing a follow up video showing the upgraded stick.
Dude you're everywhere haha my fellow fighting game buddy
hahahahaha. 'cause I wanted to make sure before buying the Mayflash F300. I saw lots of videos here before making the decision hahahaha. Greetings from Colombia. (y)
Alexis de Jesus Restrepo de La Hoz lol same bro... It's tough importing stuff for us.... I'm in South Africa... Went with the venom official Ps4 stick.... Cost me over 80 pounds 😱😱 just ordered
1 dislike is Hori
Nick Dahl Hori is the best. Mayflash is for losers and poor people.
DexZetsu why are you mad about people not having enough money to own higher end sticks?
@@DexZeth nope. It's for people who are smart enough to get stuff at good quality and cheap pricing. At least for these sticks. Hori sells much more expensive stick for the price of a tournament edition.
@@abrogaming5976 But you're spending $80 on a cheaply made shitty mini-stick. How does that make you any smarter? If anything, the people who buy these are dumber. If you want something good, then spend good money. You get what you pay for.
I own 3 Hori sticks, 2 Dreamcast sticks (I think those are Agetec), and this stick.
Obviously the Hori sticks are beyond great, but this stick isn't too bad for what it is.
I'm just happy that more people are staying true to stick. I went to a convention a few weeks ago and it seemed EVERYONE was using pad.
Either way, to each their own. Just enjoy the games and be happy.
What is that expensive stick your comparing it to at 2:29?
TE stick by MadCatz
Is the button configuration the same as the traditional street fighter button configuration? I looking to get one to play street fighter but dont want to have to customize button configurations in the menu
Yup. Traditional SF button config.
Only thing I dislike about this stick is always having a control plugged to it, is there a way around it?
You can purchase a mayflash magic boots adapter so you don’t have to use a controller. It’s basically just a usb flash drive type adapter that you plug into the USB port of the controller. That way it’s a lot more portable and less hassle. Just plug and play. They have one for the PS4, XBOX ONE, and 360. BTW they are usually around 18 USD on amazon.
I have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering.
1. Do you have to have the Xbox controller plugged in all the time?
2. Can I use this stick while it rests on my lap? Is it comfortable to play on my lap as well?
Thank you for this video.
You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed.
1. Unfortunately yes, it needs the Xbox one and or PS4 controller plugged in. It works with the switch right out of the box though.
2. Yes I use it comfortably on my lap all the time.
Hope this helps.
@@GameHeadNes Thank you, I ordered this off Amazon and it comes soon. I'm really excited to play DBFZ and Ultra Street Fighter 4 with it.
Can you use your headset with it if it is connected to the the Xbox one/ps4 controller
Does this stick works on fightcade?
hey Nes does the ps4 controller still work as a 2nd controller if you plug it in to the stick
No
does it work with tekken 7 for steam?
Excellent review! Thanks!
ANYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS, PLEASE GRAB YOURSELF THE MAGIC BOOTS DEVICE ON AMAZON. You'll be doing yourself a great service! It eliminates the need for a controller. You also have the option of buying an adapter like the Magic S pro or a TitanOne etc
For anyone watching this now? How is it on next gen consoles like the series x
Can it be used for all Consoles that have a USB Input?
Do you think the f300 would work well with anime fighters? Like blaze blue/fighterz ( Edit: I just saw the fighterz gameplay, is it good with cancelling your low medium into standing medium into long combos?)
Ricky it's really not much different from most other sticks. The parts are pretty much sanwa clones and feel very similar. And an upgrade to an actual sanwa jlf costs like 20$. I have the f500 the slightly more expensive version. Had the same parts and I used them just fine until I got sanwa stick and buttons. From there its the same as your typical 200$ madcatz stick.
Ryodakun can you direct me to where you got your parts? My f300 just came in, would love to play using sanwa parts instead, I hear so much about them
Do I have to use an xbox one wired controller ,or is there a way to hook a USB cord up to an xbox one wireless controller and hook it to the fight stick ?
I have a wireless Xbox one controller hooked up through USB. It works just fine.
@@GameHeadNes thank you. I ordered the f500 because Amazon gave me a 70 dollar gift card for signing up for their card. I didn't really need another card with nothing on it but hey ,some lady at Macys talked me into one for some cologne samples a few weeks ago so...
Thanks a lot!
Is PS3 supported?
I'm trying to get into competitive Blazblue, would this be good as a starting tool, maybe to mod later as well?
Yes. Definitely
GameHead Nes alright cool! Amazon Prime day is later today. I'll get it then! Thanks for the quick response
You earned yourself a new sub
This did not work for me for my f300 mayflash for my ps4... the stick does not respond being everything connected.. the settings on the stick have been copied from a tutorial and still not working. This really sucks
would that stick work for tekken 8 ? :D
Newbie question: I play the occasional fighting game (DBZ, Smash). But mostly I play platformers and RPG’s. I’ve always wanted an “arcade” experience when playing non-arcade type games...is it possible to play non-fighting games, say, Persona 5 or the upcoming Dragon Quest XI with a fightstick? I see a foreseeable issue that there isn’t two directional pads/analog sticks where one is for movement and one is for controlling the camera. Anybody have any input on this?
There are ones you can buy called smash boxes, but it's all buttons
Will it work on ps classic
what about f500 there is any big different between them? - and sorry for being late
Played FighterZ for about a year or so, moved onto Tekken 7, it's been a few months for that game. Only used a ps4 pad. Definitely getting this, man this is really going to feel weird moving from a ps4 pad to a stick isn't it?
How is it with stick now. I want to see if its worth it for MK 11
Im plugging this into my switch but it isnt activating. Any ideas?
It's needs to be updated via pc to work on switch
Can I play 2 player with the other one plugged in
Just wanted to ask a question regarding PC play - has anyone used this to play Neo Geo ROMS? I'm really interested in getting to play em without having to fork over hundreds for a system and cable adapters lol More specifically once you have the stick hooked up to your PC, you can configure the emulator to this type of gamepad right?
Yes
@@GameHeadNes Thanks!
How does IT work on the ps3 or xbox360
Wait what laptop were you playing dragonball fighterz on? Was that the LG gram, if so how well does it perform on that laptop.
Xiaomi Mi notebook pro. I did a review on it a few months back you should check it out. It runs great on that laptop.
GameHead Nes Thanks!
