Best beginner's stick for your buck

This was the first fight stick I had ever bought, and I am the type who loves to personalize things, so I was looking for something entry level that I have the choice to modify and customize as I please. I will say I couldn't be more contempt with this product if I tried. Right out of the box, if it is your first arcade stick I will say I don't think you will feel disappointed with the results, especially for how cheap this stick is compared its competitors. Once you are looking to modify, I recommend checking a few of the top reviews for this stick here on Amazon. For parts I referred to Nik's review where he lists all the parts he bought, with a few changes. The parts I used are: Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick 4lbs Tension Spring Oversized Actuator (1mm) Octagonal Gate 5-PIn Female Harness For Zero Delay USB Encoder PCB 8 30mm buttons Ball-Top The ball-top and 30mm buttons are optional, if you prefer to just use the originals, These were solely for the purpose of aesthetics on my end. Overall this will run you about $40 ish on FocusAttack.com, which I would argue is a fair deal to largely modify your stick. Later I referred to Raymart Q.'s Review where he gives a template for this fightstick so that you may make your own skin for it if you so choose. Overall I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my fightstick and I recommend this product to anyone looking to get into fightsticks, It is a lot of fun and with modifications it will stick with you for well into your fighter journey

Very good, Sturdy and Budget Friendly.

This fighstick is excellent as it comes from the factory works quite well, since I bought it I've been playing Street Fighter 4 with charging players like Balrog and Guile and the stick is good, the buttons are good, even so I know that all this can improve with SANWA parts. In conclusion this is a good Fightstick to learn how to use a Stick without spending too much even buying the Sanwa pieces this is still a budget friendly project.

Great Beginner Stick

UPDATE: To those who have asked for my template, sorry that I never replied. Check the comments below my review for a link to my Google Drive to download the template! I included a PNG and PSD file. This fightstick is very good for beginners like me. I love fighting games but I'm only good at Super Smash Bros. Melee. I've been wanting to branch off to other fighting games so I was looking for a relatively cheap stick to buy. I've never used a fightstick before so i'm not sure what high end fightsticks feel like with Sanwa or Seimitsu parts. However, this fightstick doesn't feel cheap and I'm glad to say that I am very satisfied with my purchase. It has a nice weight to it in my opinion, although most of the weight comes from the metal bottom plate. The size is perfect for me because I am short and I have small hands(its about the same size as a Madcatz Street Fighter 4 SE Fightstick). This fightstick can also be easily modded. It comes with a square restrictor gate that you can swap out for an octagonal or a circular gate. I replaced mine with a Sanwa octagonal gate. The buttons are wired with quick disconnects so you and swap out the buttons very easily. The stick comes with microswitches that are individually soldered. You can also swap out the stick since the PCB has a 5-pin connection. As for artwork, I found a template on Google images and I used sticker paper that you can print on. I designed my own artwork on Photoshop, printed it out, cut it, and stuck it onto my fightstick. Pros: Easily modifiable, good size for people with small hands, nice weight, responsive buttons and stick, usable on basically every platform Cons: You need a 1st party controller plugged in at all times when using on consoles(for Xbox 360, you need a WIRED 360 controller), the buttons and stick might feel very lacking to someone who has used a high end fightstick, might be too small for people with big hands.

Love this stick

First let me start with I think is the only real negative. The stick I feel is about a half inch too small below the buttons and I have hands on the smaller side. If you are one of those people that don't rest their hands on the board then it shouldn't be a problem. The Mayflash F300 stock feels great to me especially for the price. For the PS3 and PC it plugs right in and plays as long as you hit the switch at the top and for the XBOX ONE you will need the original controller and cable provided.No big deal and better than buying a new stick. I modded it with the Sanwa stick and buttons and to be honest I feel no real difference. One of the F300 button pins I did notice was bent while switching them out. The mods took about 20 minutes very easy to do and you will need a 5Pin 2.54mm Pitch Female to Female JST XH Adapter Cable 30cm for the Sanwa stick. I put a pic up of the cable you will need. All in all great stick and easy to mod. Highly recommend especially if you are on a budget or wanna do your first mod

Love it x10000

The thing that attracted me to this was firstly the price...compared to other sticks of this size its a steal. Also, the cross compatibility on my 360 and PS4. So far i've only used it on my PS4 playing SFV. It's like a whole new game using this thing. I would also recommend changing out the restrictor plate to an octagon. For me, it just makes it easier to do combos. Lastly, you can mod it to use Sanwa parts, that's a huge plus for me over some other fight sticks in this price range....and the turbo button was the icing on the cake! I did do like another reviewer said and go in the options menu of the game and set it as PS3 legacy controller and i didn't have to leave the PS4 controller plugged up to it. Overall, this has been a game changer for me. Never going back to the d-pad!

Don't be a dummy like me. It works perfectly.

Man I almost thought I had a dud. It was user error. Hooked it up to the switch..no problem. It handled all my street fighter games flawlessly. Hooked it up to the Xbox One S....nothing. Tried updating it, couldn't get it to accept the update. Emailed support, they suggested I try another USB cable, that's when I saw my error. I plugged it in to my battery charge port instead of the controller port. Attached is a photo of where it needs to be if you're using a battery pack like mine. Once I switched it...voila! Got beat up in marvel vs capcom hahaha. But seriously it handles the Xbox One S with no issues either. I have zero complaints on this arcade pad. Glad I found it.

Value Fightstick for First Timers

EDIT: Well it has been nearly a year since I've been using this fightstick and it's still going strong, I continue to stand by my initial review. **Here's a PS4 quick tip for anyone who doesn't know yet** **Your PS4 controller only needs to be plugged in to the fightstick the first time you set it up. Other then that you can just plug the fightstick in and wirelessly use your PS4 controller to select the "Legacy Controller Authenticaion" within Options>Other Settings>Shortcut Settings. Just be sure to switch to "PS3/DINPUT" instead of "XINPUT" on your fightstick.** --PS-- I can't verify if this works for XB1 since I don't have one. The value from the low affordable price tag and ease of mod-ability is where the F300 shines! Like others have stated the stock joystick and buttons that the F300 comes with are fine and responsive, but as for how durable they are that I don't know since I modded mine almost immediately. The modding process is very straight forward and surprisingly super easy for first timers. For any first time modders looking into it, Google and YouTube are your best friends, it's what I used as a first time fight stick modder and found that the process is pretty much the same for all fight sticks so don't be afraid to go in and switch out for the parts you want. A solid place to shop online for parts is FocusAttack, it's where I got all my parts during a sweet sales event. Here's a list of parts that I switched out the stock ones for: Sanwa Joystick (comes w/ octagonal gate) & Buttons (30mm) 4lbs Tension Spring Oversized Actuator (1mm) Circular Gate 5-PIn Female Harness For Zero Delay USB Encoder PCB Ball-top My only gripes with the F300 is that I have larger than normal hands and my joystick hand at times rest over the side of the top and slips at times during certain engagements. This is a personal issue that I'm adjusting to fairly easily so it's not a big deal. Also the 1st input switch at the very top left hand corner that's designated for which platform you're using has an issue with PS4. According to the provided instruction manual, the "controller icon" is the recommended option when using a 360, XBOX1 or PS4. However, this option does not work on my PS4. What does work is using the "PS3/DINPUT" option and setting up the F300 as a legacy controller in the SFV "other settings". These minor issue are too minute to take away a star from this solidly designed value fight stick. My overall impression of the F300 is limited to a month of hands on experience backed by thousands of hours using quality parts in cabinets.

Definitely an upgrade from stock controllers

Bought this because of the upcoming Soul Calibur (a little early but I wanted to get acclimated before getting decimated). I played console fighters from Mortal Kombat 2 to Tekken 2 to Soul Calibur Dreamcast. Never had a stick and never had a problem with console controllers until Dragonball FighterZ. I don’t know what it is about the Xbox One controller but it does no justice for me. I absolutely hate it. Just doesn’t work for me with fighters. There was no way I would be able to deal with it but there was no way I’m not getting SC6 so I took a chance. Noticed an instant improvement with DB FighterZ. I actually started to lose interest because of the stock controller issues but I’m really feeling the urge to play again. There must have been an update because the USB port is on the opposite end from pictures and video reviews. I noticed people said it felt light and saw some mod videos where you could see it’s just plastic inside (I think the F500 has a metal plate to add hefty). What I received has some weight to it. Doesn’t feel like an empty plastic shell at all. I’d say this is a good buy for the money. Going to order a Magicboots USB adapter so I won’t need a controller anymore. Can’t wait to main Taki later this year!

Very Pleased!

After months of searching for a price efficient fight stick with the most functionality, the F300 blows the competition out of the water. The stock components work nicely out of the box but the F300 was designed to easily be modified. Within 2 hours I was able to swap the gate and buttons for Sanwa components and added a custom MvC2 faceplate, keep in mind this is my first fight stick. Although the F300 requires an original licensed controller for whichever system you play on, it is a small price to play for the ability to use this stick on so many different consoles... I believe this is the F300's best characteristic. As someone who has various fighting games on the the Xbox 360-One, PS3-4, and PC, a simple switch of controller is much easier and better than paying $$$$ for console specific sticks. In comparison, the Venom fight stick is basically identical except it is only for the PS3-4 and cost much more $$$. I would highly recommend this stick to any casual gamers (and even serious gamers who enjoy modding) and can easily say I am completely happy with this stick and look forward to buying another one to play against friends and family. I would be glad to answer any specific questions posted above.

An absolute bargain in the current market

Bought this as my first stick that I can upgrade later with high quality parts. I'm currently just using the stock parts and it seems to perform pretty well. The joystick itself feels pretty good and has some nice auditory feedback, though the clicks are admittedly loud but I assume that's standard based on what I've seen from other sticks. The buttons seem pretty decent but also feel a little cheaper than the joystick to me. My buttons sometimes make squeak noises when I press them as they scrape against the plastic inside. I planned on replacing those first anyway so it doesn't bother me much. The stick has a nice weight to it and also rubber feet on the bottom so it doesn't slide around if you put it on a table. I've been using it on PC for SFV and it auto-detected it just fine, currently using the xinput setting. There doesn't seem to be any input delay that I can notice either or if there is it is negligible. In the current fight stick market, this stick is a steal. Sanwa stick + buttons will run you $40-50 extra dollars. Compare that price to any new stick on the market right now and its an absolute bargain. Even if you don't plan on upgrading it, it definitely still feels like a good deal. Overall this stick is much better than I expected and I'm very satisfied with my choice. I should mention also that I received Rev.1.1 (from Amazon) with the USB controller input near the USB cable. I like that Mayflash noticed a problem and remedied it. Edit as of March 19th, 2017: I've replaced the joystick and 6 buttons with Sanwa parts and I can with confidence say that the biggest improvement is actually replacing the joystick. The opposite of my original feelings. The buttons feel better but not by a large margin, still improved. The stick was a noticeable difference for me however. I always had a little trouble doing corner inputs with the stock joystick and that completely goes away with a Sanwa joystick. Sanwa joysticks are actually quieter as well, enough to notice it, but it's not going to allow covert middle of the night gameplay (at least with a standard one).
