   I purchased this around mid Summer after entering the arcade stick world with 8bitdo a month ago. The size is perfect for lap-play and height is enough to rest my hands. At first the ergonomic design of the button placement took a small adjustment period, but I adapted well after a few days. It feels so good to play and with the way it’s made, customization made it more fun; I had used different buttons to play with until I found a working style suitable for me. My only gripes are access to customize and the padding underneath. The rubber stops on the corners are nice for table-play, but the whole steel plate being mostly exposed can be a little annoying on the laps. Would have to create a whole nonslip pad for it in the future. As for access, it’s easy to get into by unscrewing the six screws securing the plate, but placing the artwork also involves removing the buttons to place the art. A small hassle at best but can be inconvenient for quick-access preference. Though that didn’t stop me from playing online, customizing, and thanks to their Magic Ultimate S converter: competing in locals for the first time. All in all, a fantastic leverless and can’t wait for the F700 flat this month!

   The obvious comparison will be to the Haute42 line, so here’s why i prefer the Mayflash:

   It uses arcade buttons. No replacement for that responsiveness. That also means you have higher quality options availabile for swapping them out. I put Qanba Gravity buttons in mine and it has been fantastic.

   The Mayflash is better for lap-play, which feels more natural. It is much more substantial in weight and width than any of the Haute42 offerings.

   This controller often gets referred to as a “starter” leverless but after swapping the buttons out, there’s nothing under $300 that i would replace this with.

   Considering the price of other popular leverless controllers from Razer, Hitbox, etc. the F500 Flat is currently at an excellent price point. The F500 Flat keeps the F500’s traditional thick plastic arcade stick shape/housing and metal bottom plate. This gives the controller more weight and stability on your lap so it doesn’t shift around. Even considering upgrades to the buttons and a converter for PS5 compatibility, the price would likely still be well below the previously mentioned competitors. Customization is also easy with the controller’s hardware as well as the SOCD options. The bottom plate is held by six screws that give access to the Mayflash proprietary buttons and can be changed in the same way as traditional arcade sticks. Meanwhile, changing the SOCD setting is as easy as plugging in the controller and holding the Select button + a specific direction depending on which setting you need. After changing out the buttons, there are no real downsides for me with daily use now.

   This was my first hitbox controller. If you’re indecisive about which hitbox to buy, this is a great option. I’ve done lots of research on so many other controllers, bought a few, returned all of them, but only this one feels complete with no issues. Mind you, this is all around the $100 – $130 range

   If you want to be picky, maybe the size of the buttons? They’re not all 30mm, but that’s nothing in my opinion, you’ll get used to it in no time.

   The buttons are solid from factory, used it for 6 months before decided to upgrade to Sanwa. Very easy to upgrade. The build is a bit heavy and sturdy, which I love. Doesn’t feel weak and “plastic-y”. They even include a nice velcro strap to keep your wires tucked away clean.

   I plan on using this at EVO. That’s how much this controller rocks. 5/5 would recommend to anybody.

   Ik heb al een Hit Box in mijn bezit, maar ik verkies deze boven mijn Hit Box. Puur door de grootte en extra knoppen

    Los botones extras se deben usar tal cual están programados y no es posible duplicar un mismo botón porque no existe un software para hacerlo.

    I love Mayflash because of how easily moddable they make them. Easy to replace the artwork yourself with the cutout templates they provide on their website. The base buttons are “just fine” and will get you a really good feel for a big leverless with the option to easily upgrade if you want to. Excellent hand room for big paws and GREAT weighty lap feel that I love.

    One thing to note:
    One of the stock buttons (the R3 button) was semi-broken out of the box. It feels like the spring isn’t as strong and snappy as the other buttons. However, I personally don’t care though as I bought this with the intent to replace all the buttons with sanwa’s and it’s a button I don’t really need to be fully responsive.

    Overall no regrets, would recommend to those who want to get into leverless and want something big & weighty to sit on their lap.

    After owning for about a couple weeks now, this leverless has become one of my favorites under $100 USD. I like that they chose to use arcade style buttons. As a long-time arcade stick user, the buttons provide a nice transition compared to the flatbox devices that use keyboard switches and caps. The size and weight feels great for either using on my lap or on a table and always feels sturdy and stable. I was able to use a magicboots ps4 adapter to use this on my ps5, and I also connected a wired Xbox Series X controller to use it on the series x console. It also works on other devices like PC and the Switch. So I’ve been having fun trying it on my various consoles. The buttons are surprisingly good for generic offbrand stuff. I’ve used tons of button brands and styles and these feel like less sensitive sanwas with a bit of extra travel. I adjusted to these from my other leverless after maybe 10 minutes of playing. I will likely keep using them until I want to swap colors or another brand for fun, or just do a full swap if a button gets faulty. I rather have these cheaper buttons to save money over buying an “elite” version so I can have my own choice of quality buttons on my terms when ready. I’m also looking forward to trying my hand at customizing the artwork. I’m happy I gave this product a chance! I really can’t think of much I would change about it that wouldn’t push the price higher than I want it to be.

    The stick itself weighs and sits really nicely, stock buttons work perfectly and the many functions of the stick are always good to have, I really love the L3 and R3 buttons, one small complaint is that the buttons are a little smaller than your average buttons, but other than that I am very satisfied with the Mayflash F500 Flat.
