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.

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.

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.

This week I bought a MayFlash Wireless F700 and was wondering if I should return it and get something else well today I got my answer
Mayflash specially f500 and f700 are built to take a beating, Sony PlayStation products are build to wear out

What stick do u get if youre just a little nobody gamer with a few dozen dollars to your name?
I say go for the Mayflash, it's actually pretty solid. It's got a good surface area while not being too large, and the hardware feels pretty good. I think the only thing I did with mine is change the gate, and it's been a trooper for a good few years now. Mine is an F500 Elite V2, and it was about $

Does anyone know if this shop is legit in Shopee?
Shipping has to be negotiated with the seller on ali express. Try reaching out to whoever is selling. With that being said, you should look into getting a mayflash f500 flat on shopee instead. I got one on discount and it's alot more durable than what haute42/cosmox offers.

Between these 2 leverless controllers, which should I go with?
While the aesthetics look nice, the build quality is terrible. Mine and a friend's usb port within a month of buying it. My T16's menu buttons have completely stopped working within 3 months and I was lucky to be able to access the firmware to remap start and select. I ended up buying a mayflash f50

I have both booter-s, booter-x, magic boots Xbox one, magic boots s V3/4 and have no issues on Haute42 C16-S and mayflash F500 controllers, as long as the fight stick firmware is up to date..

Best leverless under 100?
Opposed to the regular recommendations here. Stay away from haute42. Their build quality is hit or miss. You could get one solidly built or you could get one that'll last for a week before something breaks. They're cheap for a reason. I would go for a mayflash f500 flat or an 8bitdo. Those are from
