Best out of box arcade stick?

I can speak to the Mayflash F500 Elite. It’s been my main shmup stick for about a year. And I have swapped out buttons and stick on occasion. But it’s great out of the box.

After my first fighting stick

They both work, but honestly? Neither. Neither are really meant to be upgraded, and don't have a great reputation. I know prices aren't great in AUS, but the lowest tier that would recommend would be a Mayflash: either the F500 or F700. They're worth the price, so save up if you can.

PS5 & Switch / Switch 2 Fight Stick

Buy the F300s and two MagicBoots-S5 (you'll need to update the F300 firmware) and you'll have full compatibility with Switch/Switch 2, PS4 and PS5. DualShock 4 and clone (unlicensed) DS4 controllers will not enable Legacy Support for Tekken 8/PS5 fighting games. Legacy Support is limited compatibili

Mayflash F500 Flat vs Haute42 T13 which should I get

Switched from Haute42 R16 to my actual F500 Flat Elite Could play with Akuma in SF6 way more stable.🤔 The overall quality of the mayflash is way better than Haute42. I'll personally like the Sanwa button you can gentle touch or smash them like the hulk the precision is always on point. The bigger la

looking for a good arcade stick

Mayflash elites come with Sanwa parts. I’ve had my F500 for a few years and it has held up well. Available on Amazon and because it’s Sanwa, you can find lots of aftermarket tweaks.

Need help

Mayflash sticks work and they've been working for a long time now. Hell, at this point the F500 has to be one of the longest-lived production sticks out there. It's hard to beat the price for something user-customizable, including removable plexi for art-swaps.

Baby's first fighting stick and fighting game Street Fighter 6 (game is hard)

The Mayflash F500 series is probably the best FightStick to get: Good size and weight for a traditional FightStick, no need to upgrade to a different arcade stick unless you want to go smaller like the micro leverless or low profile stuff. Universal USB port is great for PS4 and PS5 with a Mayflash

Wanting to purchase a fightstick

Being a PC player gives you a lot of flexibility but i will try to keep the options narrow. If you did want one that is natively compatible on ps5 for reasons o attending locals or whatever, the Qanba Titan is a great price on Amazon US right now (about $140 usd on sale). It is one of my main travel
