F500

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.

No. The hori mini is a closed design, you are never really meant to repair, replace, or modify anything in it. You would need a proper fightstick for such modifications. If you want to do something like that for not much more than the mini, you can get a Mayflash F500

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

There are some budget arcade sticks I'm aware of: Hori fighting stick mini, Mayflash F500, 8bitdo arcade stick. I'm not sure how easy they are to mod but they should be decent for under $100.

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
