   Bought this mainly to play Tekken 8. Can say I’m impressed of the quality and overall feel of the product.
   It feels very solid and sits good in your lap when playing. Also very easy to costumize if you in the future wants to try other types of switches. With its competitive price I would highly recommend the F500 Elite.

   This is a significant upgrade from the already excellent and value priced F500 V2, and more easily customizable, from all of the interior components to the faceplate art (Mayflash’s site has helpful templates for making custom art). But even if you don’t intend to mod anything, it still offers SANWA parts in the most important areas (stick, buttons). That said, my only gripe is the weird filing cabinet color for the body, which is far less preferable to almost any other color out there. Fortunately a friend of mine swapped the body for that of an F500 V2, and then modded virtually everything else, right down to replacing plastic washers with metal ones, replacing the default stick with a metal Seimetsu, 3D printing an octagonal gate for pinpoint accuracy when playing 2D shooters, and upgrading the springs under the buttons for superior feedback. He even did a custom etched dustwasher for the bade of the joystick. This is all to prove the point of how endlessly customizable the F500 Elite is. TLDR: Excellent arcade-style joystick right out of the box, but can be made far greater with a little modification.

   Title says it all really. Great value arcade stick! Works fantastic with all my systems, Switch and Pc (without controllers and Xbox One X and Series X (with controllers). Honestly I had no problem having to connect controllers to it for some systems. But if that bothers you there are ways around this (but they will require extra money). Personally I don’t feel the need to do so. Awesome quality Sanwa buttons and joystick. Has two metal plates inside so has a nice weight to it which is nice. Easy to customize the top faceplate. In my case I just brought a cheap poster from Kmart and removed the buttons/joystick/clear plastic top, then traced around the plastic top and cut out with hobby knife/sessors. Love having the ability to do that! THANK YOU Mayflash for a great unit!!

   Joystick di ottima fattura, la qualità c’è e si sente.
   La leva direzionale e i pulsanti, enrambi Sanwa, restituiscono un ottimo feeling e garantiscono affidabilità e durata nel tempo. Le dimensioni generose permettono di appoggiare entrambi i polsi riducendo l’affaticamento in caso di sessioni di gioco prolungate, mentre il peso notevole assicura perfetta stabilità.
   Lo utilizzo prevalentemente su PC per retrogaming ed emulazione, ma l’ho testato con successo anche su tablet Android e Raspberry P4. Nella confezione è presente anche un restrittore ottagonale da sostituire, se preferito, a quello a 4 vie montato in fabbrica. Connessione alle varie piattaforme compatibili solo via cavo.
   Un paio di mesi fa ho acquistato anche un arcade stick della 8BitDo e devo dire che la differenza, a favore del Mayflash F500 Elite, è notevole, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la qualità dei pulsanti. L’unico plus dell’8BitDo è la possibilità di utilizzarlo senza fili, mediante connessione Bluetooth o WiFi 2.4 GHz.

   Every other positive reviews you can read are correct. This stick is worth its price point. It’s probably considered an “entry level” stick, but I’d say it’s a mid tier stick at an entry level price. Pros: Sanwa parts, customization options, universality for multi-system use (and out of the box functionality for most systems), quality materials (nice and weighty), and lots of support from Mayflash on their website. Cons: Only one in my opinion, and not really a con but more an inconvenience. PS3/4 and Xbox 360/One require one of their original controllers for this to work on those systems. So you’re basically plugging this stick into a regular controller, and that controller connects to your console as normal. It’s basically just one extra connection, and it’s honestly a breeze. There is even a way to avoid the extra wire and console controller alltogether. It’s called the Magicboot (for PS4 or Xbox One, they are on Mayflash’s website too and can be ordered through akiya-switch.com). The fightstick has an USB port on the front of it for one of these dongles. The dongle “acts” as the original controller you need connected. Gets rid of all the clutter of using the console controller and reduces it to a little USB dongle sticking a half inch out the front of the stick. Bonus: Many reviews recommended getting a GT-Y octagonal restrictor plate for the joystick since the stick comes with a square gate. I opened my F500 Elite just 10 minutes ago and guess what I found, an included octagonal gate! I purchased the 8way gate I thought I needed because I didnt know this came with one. Mayflash should update their product description to reflect this if it is indeed included going forward. So yeah, stick is solid. Tournament grade parts to start with, can be tricked out as you like, and is universal. The 8-way restrictor plate was an added bonus.
