Mayflash F300 Elite Fight Stick Review Unboxing

[@JoystickNY]

Thank you for watching

Thank you man. I just got this!

[@JoystickNY]

Jaistar2k22 enjoy bro 🕹👍

[@Bbbirgani]

Hey would you recommend this over the regular F300 or the Qanba Drone, if I was looking for a good entry level stick?

[@JoystickNY]

Brandon Birgani this is the best stick for around 80$, if i have 80$ to spend, i will pick this one. Sometimes the other 2 goes on sale for around 50$. If the drone is 50, i will buy the drone, but they raised the price, so its not as a good value

[@Bbbirgani]

JoyStickNY Thank you, I found it for 52$ new, so I grabbed it. Excited to start playing fighters!

[@ShadowBlade79]

The F300 was the first fightstick I ever bought, and I got it to learn on and so I could mod it if I wanted to. I learned so much on that thing, and I still have it. It's great that Mayflash is giving people the option to do it both ways. You're awesome for showing them some love!

[@JoystickNY]

That sounds awesome, its def a great entry stick to get in. Thank you 🙏❤️

[@valhalla306]

@@JoystickNY Hi! For a person with large hands is the same or better f500 that has more space between the stick and the edge okay?

[@JoystickNY]

I believe so, i dont have thr f500, but a bigger casing will give you more room for comfort

[@merlin196]

I bought this stick after watching your review and am very happy with it. So much better playing arcade games with this than what I was using before. Thank you! Your channel has some of the best arcade stick reviews I've come across.

[@tremorchrist84]

I bought the F500 Elite after being out of the fighting community since early 360/ps3 and I'm really impressed with the quality for the price. With the most recent firmware update and the Magic-Pro wireless adapter, I am able to play MK11 & SF5 on my PS5. Very happy with the purchase.

[@JoystickNY]

Can u play in ps5 with out the adaptor?

[@tremorchrist84]

@@JoystickNY Sort of... They are still working on getting around the lock out on the PS5 controller. You can use a PS4 controller when playing those PS4 games on PS5, though. Also, with the Magic Pro you can use any Xbox/PS/Switch controller on each console. No more trying to play Blazblue with the terrible(for me) stock Switch D-pad! You can check out the firmware updates for anybody interested at www.mayflash.com

Good to know, i dont have a ps5, i am gonna be abit behind for a while 🤣

[@WiseGuy3683]

Thanks for reviewing this and the normal F300. I was tossing back and forth which I should get, but ultimately got the base F300 because I found a well priced bundle that came with the Mayflash USB thumbsticks so I don't need to plug in a controller (which I really wanted), wanted to save on the initial cost, and I figured I'll just upgrade the buttons myself at a later date as I already repair and modify my own tech. Was also getting a separate stick for Wii, Wii U, and GC so I can have a stick that works with nearly everything I own. It should be in by the end of this week. Can't wait to try it out. I've been tossing back and forth getting an arcade stick over 20 years now but never did as I'm not a hardcore fighting game player and I was perfectly fine with a controller, however, after a thumb injury that makes it hard to use a controller, specifically pressing the face buttons, I figured now's the time to finally get it. I'll probably test it out in Dragon Marked for Death or Streets of Rage 4.

[@JoystickNY]

jotaroxtreme the f300 is a great choice,m right now , its good to pay the least just to see what ps5 have installed for us, incase there is something u like, 👍🕹

[@Nobu0304]

Bought my F300 Elite a week ago and it feels amazing and the case is surprisingly bigger than I thought. I've never used hayabusa/seimitsu/other brand parts tho so I can't really compare them but I can finally korean backdash consistently lol. I used to play with a shitty knockoff arcade stick before and it was horrible lmao. One thing that I discovered though, my left wrist hurts after playing for a long period of time but I might get used to it later. Overall, A very good arcade stick for it's humble price. An absolute steal imo.

[@Nobu0304]

Btw it seems to be able to connect to ps5 too after the 1.09 firmware update. I can't test it though as I don't own it.

Torn on this or 8bitdo for first stick. Canada doesn't seem like it's super easy to get sanwa parts for cheap and this is about $30 more than 8bitdo, might have to get this.

[@JoystickNY]

Start small for now, take it slow. Maybe buy 1 if u ever on vacation

[@TheSnisel]

Hi, I’m in the same predicament. I’m either gonna buy this stick or the 8bitdo one, which one do you recommend? I play tekken mainly

[@inndreki]

@TheSnisel I had the f300 elite for a bit before I returned it because I wasn't sure how much I'd use it. I now have the f500 elite and it's great, but you can't go wrong with the 300 either. the 500 is just bigger and sturdier which I liked.

[@rfs8194]

I bought a used F300 Elite earlier this year. I don't really have any comparison, but I like it. I might mod it with silent buttons, my downstairs neighbour once complained when I was playing late. (Or I could just fix my sleeping rythm ;) ) I think I would like it more if the lever and buttons were farther apart, but when I look at photos of bigger arcade sticks, it looks like they just add more empty space left and right.

[@JoystickNY]

Most of the layout is about the same, what you can do is a custom layout in the future

[@skelevoid]

Hey man, I also just got a used F300 Elite too. I would've maybe rather gotten something larger for my lap, like a Hori RAP, but they seem to be very hard to find in Europe at least. Also for the price of 75 dollars I couldn't say no to it, liking it so far. Even if I get something else later, 75 was probably worth it for the parts alone. Also thanks to JoyStickNY for the thorough review, helped me make my choice.

[@myboy_]

You won't be able to play smash on this dude

[@LLoydL]

I finally bought this stick to play fightcade (samurai shodown 4) installation/setup was a breeze and i was playing in seconds..honest review: I only tested this mostly on samurai shodown 4 (which is my main fighting game) the buttons are really sensitive and no issues as I occasionally mash buttons up or press 4 buttons at once at rapid speed to make sure the special move goes through. My only gripe is the lever, but probably this a game issue and not the lever but i’m not sure since i don’t own any other stick to compare it other than the acrual cabinets that i played back in the day but it seems the “hadouken” move isn’t 100% responsive you have to redo it several times in a different stroke which is a bit more slower than what i normally do and at times the dud will cost you a round losing. This is also the same if you do a reverse hadouken in all positions (player 1 and 2 positions). For context i am not a beginner with samurai shodown i’ve played it on actual arcades back in the day and i have a mid to high level skill for this specific game and the way i play it is 100% muscle memory the way i do a hadouken move has always been 99% accurate so I believe this not a skill issue. I will try to play more on a different fighting game to test this issue but so far that is my only gripe with this stick..nevertheless, i still recommend this particular iteration of the F300 series it is a great entry level stick. Thank you so much @JoyStickNY for the videos they were very helpful for me to decide which entry level stick to buy.

[@TheBacontarian]

It would be interesting to see ergonomic fight stick mods, like expanding base for your lap or adding weight in certain areas, or maybe even a gel wrist pad lol

[@JoystickNY]

160 its kinda over price, how much is qanba obsidian in your city

[@aut0turret]

I tend to make purchases first out of impulse and check reviews after the fact... maybe seems that in this case I might be alright. Can't wait to try this thing out on the MAME + 240p/480i CRT rig. Should come pretty damn close to perfect arcadi-ness. If I like it I will buy a 2nd, not because I have friends [I do not], but because I like dual-stick stuff.

Amazing. I bought my first arcade stick only 5 days ago (MOPei PXN arcade stick) and already it's registering down corners incorrectly.

I've read online that this stick is of poor quality (e. g. for one person it has stopped working after a month or so). Some people also doubt the authenticity of its preinstalled Sanwa buttons. After using it for quite some time (if you still use it), can you tell whether it is working as intended? I am currently thinking of buying this one as my first stick and would appreciate your advice.

[@JoystickNY]

Vasily Chernukha to give you my best opinion, i own the mayflash f300, and f300 elite, so far i havent gotten any problems with them yet, could also be that i mainly use my hori rap4 most of the time. I dont have that many hours on the mayflash, i mainly purchase them because i was curious to see how good they are for the price, for 50$ i think its a very good deal for a entry lvl stick to get your feet wet, and just with most things are; the more money you spend, it will be high quality, but if you dont play fighting games too much, and dont plan to get serious on it; it would he okay to use it, if your goal is to be serious and get to a higher level, then maybe invest in a 100$ price range; hope that helps

[@vasilychernukha5906]

@@JoystickNY Thanks a lot, that helps!

I have the F500 Elite which is just a bigger version of the F300 Elite and I can safely say that the buttons are authentic Sanwa buttons. Same with joystick as well.

@@JoystickNY I dunno where to find any that fits this fight stick since both the F300 and F500 are bigger. Also I cannot use the photoshop so I cannot edit the template to get the original Mayflash Playstation/XBOX layout on it.

[@flowgeticgaming3578]

What do you thinkof the MAYFLASH Arcade Stick F500 Elite with Sanwa VS The Hori Pro 4 Kai. I am freshly brand new to a fight stick and haven't played on an arcade since I was a teenager and I am now 32 wanting to hop back onto a fight stick and hoping to make sure I have something lightening fast and responsive for when I play Tekken 7. I am an inch away of going for the Hori Pro 4 Kai especially since I found it for $120.00 locally. Please let me know, thanks.

[@JoystickNY]

I would say go with the hori rap 4, that is a really popular stick, and amazing stick. It is also 1 of my favorite stick, as you see me demo-ing with it in most of my videos. But just keep in mind u are going with hayabusa parts, i love them, but sanwa is more popular

[@asimog9790]

This video is a little old now but I'm just now getting into fight stick play myself. I used a friend's F300 Elite to see if I would want a stick rather than pad and that's definitely the case. After a lot of research (and your channel, really great tutorials and reviews for beginners), I decided on the Mayflash F500 Elite. I mainly went for the 500 Elite because it is slightly bigger and the 300 made me cramp up due to having to keep my arms and hands close together. Since you haven't reviewed the F500 elite yet I was wondering if you think this is a wise decision? Money wasn't too much an issue but I'm definitely unable to buy a higher end stick right now (250-350 range), and Mayflash makes very good sticks on the lower end of the price range from what I've seen. But do you know of any distinct difference between the F500 Elite vs the F300 Elite? Any issues that you have heard of? This channel is great and has really helped me up my gaming in the community, thanks for your hard work!

[@JoystickNY]

Asimo G thank you, btw if you are considering the f500 elite, i would recommend looking into the madcarz tes+, its slightly cheaper, and you get a madcatz brand stick, the pro of the mayflash is you can use it for many diff systems, the con is you have to connect a ps or xbox controller when u use the stick, which can be annoying sometimes, the madcatz is only ps3 ps4 and pc tho. And i think the major difference btw the f500 and elite is just the sanwa parts. And appearance Everything else pretty much the same.

[@jorgeftw99]

JoyStickNY wouldnt the magic boot resolve this issue? I have also been looking to invest into a beginner fightstick and ive been looking at the f500. The fact that i have to connect the controller to the stick seems so awkward and annoying. Would a magic boot fix this problem? I believe it was made specifically for the mayflash to avoid the extra wiring that would come from plugging a controller

[@JoystickNY]

Fundamentals _ i am actually not sure, i havent used a magic boot before, but i seen some videos online where people use it and it look like it works, but i am a simple guy, i try not to buy something extra if it already works, i would just plug it in to the ps4 controller ❤️🙏

[@jamesg4670]

Have you tried using the magic boot dongles for wireless gaming with xbox and playstation?

[@JoystickNY]

James G that one i have not, i am usually not a big fan of wireless systems, even with mouse and keyboard i prefer wired lol, its a old habit of mine. 😊 thank you for dropping by

[@jamesg4670]

JoyStickNY do you think it would affect performance using the dongles vs wires? I just bought the f500 due to your video for my switch over the hori mini

[@JoystickNY]

James G James G there will be slight delay in response when ever you go wireless, i saw a video on the brooks wireless board vs wired, even big guys like brooks will have small delay, but its nothing to he worry about, becuz it is in the mili seconds. Too small to notice, The F500 is great, once you get comfortablec you can swap the parts and your stick will be premium. 👍🕹

[@DespairMagic]

I'd really love to get the elite but it's not available in Germany sadly. Got the normal one instead. I'll upgrade it after a year or so.

If you want A universal and a bigger stick ,The f500 is probably the one, U can go for 300 elite, but it will he a bit smaller, once u swap out the parts on ur 500, it will basically be a 500 elite 👍

Hey! Amazing video! Also whole your channel is incredible and helpful. I'm divided between F300 Elite and F500 Elite. For now without mods, after few months I'm planning to swap for Seimitsu LS-40, is there enough space for that? And what's the difference between those two arcade sticks? I used to play on moded MadCatz Street Fighter TE - loved that one but it's a bit too big for me (travelling a lot and have to save some space ^^).

[@JoystickNY]

There should be enough space on the mayflashes, the seitmitsu is going to feel tigher.

Does this stick work with the Brook Wingman SD converter?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I don't think it works on this converter, but cannot confirm

[@ivyy8221]

What would be your choose if a beginner who never tried an arcade stick wants one and its options were the F300, F300 elite or F500, taking in mind this last 2 have similar price and the F500 is bigger but it doesn't have the samwa pieces? This beginner is ok with having basic parts and mod its arcade stick in the future, so getting normal versions of F300 and F500 would not be a problem and wants to expend the less possible.

[@JoystickNY]

I think the f300 would be ok; incase if u dont like it, its a small invesment, if u like it, then u have the option to switch out the parts

[@TheSnisel]

Hi I know this is super late but do you think this one is better or the 8bitdo arcade stick? I’m leaning more towards this one because of the Sanwa parts but the 8bitdo is prettier and is a bit cheaper. I mainly play Tekken

I’ve played fighting games on pad for years and I’m thinking of finally getting a fightstick, but can’t seem to decide on what one to buy.

[@JoystickNY]

Sabnova3415 if you play alot of fighting game, i would say jump straight to the elite, if you dont like fighting game, and just want to have a stick, get the cheaper one to see how you feel. And then you can upgrade it if you actually like it, its a smaller risk ❤️🙏
