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

How should I go about getting a fightstick
In my honest opinion, don’t build your first one if you’re on a budget. It usually ends up costing more once you add a case, PCB, buttons, lever, wiring, shipping, tools, etc. For PS5 + Tekken/SF6 I’d start with: Budget: Mayflash F500 + MagicBoots/Brook adapter if needed Better ready-to-go: Hori Fig

May flash f700 elite compatibility
Because the F700 isn't truly PS5 native, it's PS5 mode on the dial is actually "Legacy Support" while the PS4 mode uses the same input as a DualShock 4 controller. Mayflash kinda hides this in its PS5 game compatibility list while Legacy Support is something Sony allowed developers to implement into

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

MayFlash F500 Questions for a Beginner
Buy the F500 Elite ($105) and the MagicBoots-S5 ($30) from Amazon.com. The F500 itself is a more traditionally designed arcade stick being a good standard sized arcade stick with a tall body so lever clearance isn't a issue (Knee Neo, Infiltration and Golden Lever) and will be more stable on your la

Cheap Stick for PS5
You can't get one for $60 that will work on ps5 and not be a really bad experience. At minimum get him a mayflash f500 and the mayflash s5 magicboots dongle so it will work on ps5, or an f700 (more expensive but works on ps5 out of the box). You can also look at the qanba drone, that one has ps5 com

I've been thinking of getting an arcade stick, any brand reccomendations for an entry level budget?
The Mayflash F500 Elite is arguably the best entry level arcade stick for PC gamers. I'd argue the Fightbox F10-EX is the best Sanwa button equipped entry lever leverless (better pricing than Mayflash F500 Flat Elite).

May flash f700 elite compatibility
Yeah I've got an F500 and I am really surprised that the newer F700 doesn't have full PS5 compatibility. Seems like a real doosie that Mayflash has not included a USB passthrough for using the Booter S5 like with the F500. What a step backwards

Looking for advice on mayflash f700elite Vs f500elite +magicboot s5
Yep get the F500 for the reasons you have stated. But also because it's easy to replace the PCB in the future to say a Brook board in the event that Mayflash doesn't release a USB dongle for newer consoles (or even if the original PCB dies). It's not easy to do with the F700 because the aux buttons

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
