What did you think of the f300 elite I have been a little interested because of its universal compatibility and the Sanwa parts right out of the box

[@mattfoster1493]

[@oscar1241]

Work in PS3?

[@liquidhaste]

I'm thinking shove a pi zero inside the shell and route a HDMI and USB out of stick housing. Portable fight game with stick.

[@Madlittlepixel]

Thatd be a cool lil mod~

[@wutang_batman]

I think this pi would overheat being enclosed in the arcade stick casing and having no ventilation.

[@j0hnny4rc4de]

I have the Playstation version. However, I use it on my PC (Win 10) and it works great.

[@megaman1on1]

I've still been using my Hori Mini Fightstick 3 that I bought back when I lived in Japan. Honestly? Feels good still. I'm not a fan of holding my hand OVER the stick, and my hand can both cover the side of the stick AND clutch the ball with no issue, while my other hand can rest over the buttons themself, so it feels pretty good for me. I'm not really a fan of fight sticks in general, always preferred controllers, just because most fighting game motions, when I try them with the stick, just feels wrong. But being able to hold the side OF the stick while I play on it feels like a nice happy medium. BUT! That's just a personal preference. I'd say buttons could always be nicer, and the stick feels a little TOO stiff, but otherwise, it's been a fantastic stick for me to use. It was meant for PS3, but I've used it for PS4 and my PC, and it's been great so far.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

I would install a sanwa JLF lever, an eight-way restrictor gate and a bat-top into the Hori Fighting Stick Mini. There is a video on KZbin that shows you how to install a sanwa JLF lever into a Hori Fighting Stick Mini.

[@awbr1991]

I've been using my Mini PS4 Hori forever. Love how close the buttons are because I can literally rest my fingers on them like a keyboard. Lol Great cheap stick

[@immortallix]

My old hori fight stick had a switch for ps3, 4, and pc mode, I can't imagine they wouldn't just have the new one have a switch for all consoles for any reason other than to get you to buy another

[@veganfoodsYOUTUBE]

Thanks for this this vid and so many others. I got rid of my dualshock 4 controllers & almost all my Dualshock 3 as I do not really care for many batteries in my life so instead I ordered the ps4 Hori controller. I grew up in arcades too so I am always looking for stick reviews.

[@JOE_BIDEN_GAMING17]

Does it work in tv mode?

[@blinkshadown]

If any of you want a mini stick buy the f300 or the sfv alpha from madcatz. If you have more money get the f500. Both are heavily customizable and even with stock parts are decent. You cant fit HAPP parts due to the size.

[@ukumra]

Omron are pretty high quality micro switches. Not bad at all.

[@xMrBrown]

I was able to plug and play with the play station classic with retro arch and Belem sync installed. It detected as a controller immediately and was able to navigate through the menus. Minor button mapping for certain games will probably be needed. Just opened it on contra III for snes and then tekken 3 for PlayStation. I bought the fight stick to give a more arcade feel for rhythm games (specifically project diva which comes out next month on switch) without shelling out hundreds for the actual arcade controller. I’ve been using it to play taiko for switch and it feels tons better to play open palmed like you would at an arcade rather than holding a controller.

[@SenZo816]

Hey, anybody know if the playstation version is compatible with the evercade vs?

Can i change the ball stick to a baltop stick???, i don't like the japanese ball stick, prefer the american baltop

[@darktetsuya]

I lucked into a slightly used PS4 one at a local game shop, I'd had an even cheaper one that was for PC/PS2 but it broke in such a way my only option was getting a whole new stick... but so far I've been really liking it! (only have a PC at the moment but it works just fine on there for like MAME and other emulators and stuff) debating if I want a switch joystick or if I want to just get an adapter for my PS4 one but since I have street fighter 30th on switch and beat-em-up bundle, one of these would be perfect!

Thanks for the honest review. i’m buying one to play skullgirls. I got the switch version and hopefully the inputs work better compared to the joycons inputs.

[@BeegChonkBehr]

I suppose this controller is supposed to be used for this kind of games, I'm kinda struggling with the joycins and a standard pro controller

[@8ak3m0ndeluxe8]

Does it work???How do you feel??

[@averageradiantreplays7702]

Man I will love this exclusive for Switch (Maybe my PC and Android Tablet) because my lunch hours are... Kinda long lol, so playing a bit for fun? Looks good! But at the same time, the Madcatz Alpha looks like a better deal, the bad deal is it's ONLY for PS3/4 and I will need the adapter, so that ups the price a bit. Still, going to take this as a consideration, seems like a good tabletop "for fun" Stick. Regards!!

[@kimvonklvsgrd]

What's your fav. Rammstein song? Noticed your tattoo there :)

[@Madlittlepixel]

Thats like picking a favorite child lol. Ive been a fan of Rammstein for over 20 years. Seen them live 6 times. Own all their albums including all the unreleased stuff and singles. Its really dependent upon mood lol. But im definitely more partial to the first 2 albums... Just couldnt pick a favorite song.. Too difficult haha

[@kimvonklvsgrd]

@@Madlittlepixel Wow, that's awesome! Never got to see them live, their next concert here in Norway was sold out within a couple of minutes :/ I love their music too, think Mutter is my fav. of their albums to be honest even though they're all great :)

[@JorgeFoxHounder]

Nice tattoo! Im also a fan since 2006 and Ive seen them live twice! Best shows ever!!!

[@laumpolumpio]

It may be possible to install a Seimitsu LS-33 in there. 4:18 I disagree, there are othe things to look after, the main housing material and shape of the hole where the pivot goes, there's the height of the stick, size of the actuator, thickness of the gate, microswitches are in fact one of the less important components to look after when choosing the right arcade stick, but that's just my opinion.

[@m0xiemarlinspike]

Any idea if the PS4 one works on the PS5?

Great showcasing of the fight sticks! Very interesting and appreciate the info! Thank you! Consider the Mayflash F300 Elite for review.

[@DWS2020]

If i get this, will it make Street fighter 30th anniversary playable? It's virtually impossible to play the game with a controller sadly. Cant pull off any moves. Even after flawlessly doing the exact inputs. Also it makes any of the solo arcade unplayable sadly. So delayed and instant death. No if and or but... so does paying for one make the game playable and work? Since you can't get by with controller. I hope the newer games have modern controls. Because i also want Street fight 6. But hope this would not be a waste to buy. It is impossible to play. So wanting to know what i should get. Thank you.

thanks for the review, next time you review anything with micro switches, please let us listen to them. i can't conclude if i want to pick up one. and please check the rattle and play in the buttons. thanks in advance.

[@Frank_D]

The 8Bitdo stick is more suited to my needs tbh. I ended up replacing the stick and buttons on it. One thing this does have though is that ABXY are lined up the same way they are on an actual Nintendo controller. I had to rewire the ABXY on the 8Bitdo stick to match the controllers, and now it’s mislabeled. lol

[@Madlittlepixel]

Yes.. Damnit thats one thing I was gonna talk about and forgot lol... Button placement. I hate when abxy is flipped but then I also wish L and R were lined up differently.

[@Frank_D]

Exactly. Most games' controls are set up specifically for the Nintendo style ABXY layout, so changing them makes it confusing. Not sure if too many games have a way to change the control scheme, since I usually don't have to, but I figured it would just be easier to change the wiring while I was in there, rather than try to change every games control scheme.

[@thatannoyingkid871]

You got the price of the mayflash stick wrong. It’s 20$, less than half the price of this soooooooo

[@bluetarantulaproductions6179]

Too bad they didn't work on both Switch and PS4 at the same time with the flick of a "switch" lol

[@n1kilist]

On playstation classic with retroarch, do you have to use the pad to navigate the menus only with the Switch version or also with the one for ps3 / ps4? It's not clear to me ...

[@fernandostar3507]

Are there any of these that work for all consoles.

[@XRay44]

I’m sure it’s something I’m doing wrong but... I tried using this with Burgertime Party and the joystick moves around on the menu screen and you can press the A button to select things but during the actual game, for some reason it’s not letting my character move at all with the joystick. The A button still shoots pepper but the joystick doesn’t seem to work in the actual game. Only the menu. Anyone got any thoughts on what I should try? Is it just one of those games it won’t work on? Is there a setting I haven’t tried? Weird that the joystick works on the menu screens but not the actual gameplay. So confused!

For someone moving from a controller to a stick and love fighting games would this be considered an entry level budget stick to get a taste for stick for fighting games.
