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

My third haute42 hitbox just broke
I had two and they both had the same issue with the soldering within like 3 months of using them. If you want one in the same price range that hasn't done anything like that for me in a year in a bit, the Mayflash f500 Flat has been working great. Just quite a bit thicker.

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

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

Recommendations for Newcomer
At this budget you'd probably wanna get the Mayflash F500 or F700 (when there's a sale). I am currently playing on a Haute42 and I can recommend it for literary everything except ergonomics. I will probably get a palm rest or something for similar reasons, but something like an F500 would've maybe m

Anyone have any recommendations for a noob/casual brand new to the fighting game community for an arcade type joystick on PC? I don’t need to modify or be able to change much. Something I can plug and play.
Buy second hand locally (Xbox 360 if you're purely PC, PS4 if you considering attending locals/weeklies/tourneys) form FB Marketplace, Offer Up or whatever local classifieds are popular in your area. If you don't want to do some research and just looking for something new with almost no hassle, then

Wanting to purchase a fightstick
What’s your budget?I usually recommend a Mayflash F500 for a beginner. Good price, size and quality, easy to upgrade when you find it necessary.

My leverless fightpad broke and I'm looking for recommendations for new ones
Give arcade button leverless controllers a chance. I like my Mayflash F500 Flat and Fightbox F8 (pictured).

Question about mini arcade sticks w/ korean levers
The Qanba Titan tends to be the favorite for traveling competitors, just make sure you grab the thin valve from Qanba.com for $2 to fit the Knee Neo lever or other larger low collar stuff unless you don't mind the hole under the lever. The Mayflash F500/F700 are just wide enough not to wobble for la
