F500

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mayflash F500 Flat for $80 CAD At the very least if you have prime, you'll be paying $90.40 after applicable taxes. The F500 Flat is probably the most sturdiest leverless out there using the F500 as a base with tradition microswitch buttons. Stock buttons aren't bad but I would probably recommend up

for leverless, if weight is important to you, F500 flat + ps5 adapter. If not, I would go for 8bitdo + adapter for lever, honestly you’re not getting everything that you need for that price. If you sacrifice ps5 compatibility, fightbox have several options with different K levers. I would chose the

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

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).
