MAYFLASH Arcade Fighting Stick F101 for Switch/PC/PS3/Android/NeoGeo mini/SEGA MEGA Drive mini/SEGA GENESIS mini

Great stick. Works perfect for MVC2 and I don't go gentle on it. You can fly refly, rim infinite with ease on switch/pc android flycast.Parts are easily accessible to change out. I was able to change the stick to a mass stick. Would buy again.

I've been a fan of fighting games for 10+ years, and during all this time, I always played on controller. From Mortal Kombat to Street Fighter, and making a debut on Tekken 8 for the first time, the d-pad was never an issue. However, after watching some videos, you can't stop but wonder how the experience on arcade stick would be... and to get itch off, you should definitely get this one:1. Affordable: If you look at the big brands, you won't get a stick for less than $150.2. Quality: It feels sturdy, the built is solid and the buttons feel great. The only down sight is that is has a matte finish, so get ready to wipe those marks.3. Accessibility: Plug and play! (at least if you're on PC). The stick even comes with a type-c adaptor!If it's your first time getting a stick (like myself), there is going to be a small learning curve, especially when it comes to movement, but it's both fun and satisfactory to learn it.In short: a 10/10 product. Couldn't be happier!

It doesn't get much better than this for the price. It works flawlessly with windows so I'm not sure what others are talking about. Could be a quality control issue so if yours doesn't work with windows return it and replace it with another one, also make sure it's set to the correct switch to use with PC (Xinput/DP mode).This stick comes with the square gate installed and mine came with an octogon as well (which isn't advertised) also for some reason came with a USB b to c adapter, I'm guessing maybe for the switch but I'm not sure. Because this is America I put the octogon gate in and it works just how I'm used to at arcades.The buttons are serviceable but really arent desirable. They don't have a "click" to them so they feel really hollow when pressing them. I'd recommend finding some cheap buttons (I believe the size is 30mm) and replacing them as soon as possible.The stick itself is great, and sure beats the hell out of worn arcade sticks in cabinets at the barcades. The only issue is that if you are hard on the stick and let go sometimes the spring registers the opposite direction. So if I slam the stick right and let go swiftly then it may register as left for a fraction of a second as a "recoil". I'm not sure if official sanwa sticks do this or not but I'm guessing they don't. Either way it's only noticible when you are hard on the stick, which you should be avoiding anyways. I play Street Fighter 2 and it didn't affect my gameplay so long as I didn't ram the stick into a side and let go, the problem is really only noticeable when you let go of the stick after ramming it. Not an issue when throwing fireballs/hurricane kicks etc.. Now pac man is another story. If you aren't cognant of just letting go of the stick after moving another direction then you might do a 180 and be a ghosts lunch 😂. The simple solution to this is to just not let go of the stick completely when reverting it to the neutral position, or don't ram it in the first place.I do wish that the stick had better documentation on how to open it. You will need to unscrew the 6 screws on the bottom of the unit and take a flathead screwdriver or something to pry the metal lid open, right below where the USB port enters the stick. Also no mention of how the turbo function works. Still trying to figure that out.Also, retroarch picks up this stick and I've successfully hooked it up to my SNES classic/genesis mini. Really great for those systems in my opinionSo in conclusion I'd say it's a pretty great stick. I knocked a star off for the documentation not talking about how to open the thing, the default buttons not being great and the stick recoil. But if you're looking for a first stick that you plan on modding out, go for this one. I plan on buying another for my daughter so she stands a fair chance at street fighter 😉.

My opinion rests on the fact that this stick is $45- it's a cheap and serviceable way to figure out whether you like arcade sticks. If you do, you can upgrade pretty much every part, which you'll basically have to do. As a stick, it's... fine, I guess? Maybe better for fighters, but I'm going through a whole phase with arcade shmups and run-and-guns. The stock stick is more enjoyable than any pad controller I've used, and it's been a lot of fun with Metal Slug and OutZone, but with Truxton or Raiden I'm slapping the bajeezus out of the stick trying to defeat its long throw in time to dodge incoming fire- with less than rewarding results.So, take this stick for what it is. It's cheap and it works consistently and reliably. If you like it, you can buy nicer buttons or a lever that suits you better. At this price, you can take your time and Lynyrd Skynyrd your way to a completely different stick while having fun the whole way. (That'd be replacing one part at a time until there aren't any original parts.)

Came in on time and as advertised, well packaged which is important for the stick itself, easy to set up and ready to go.

Sadly this does not work with the Nintendo Switch. I verified this arcade stick works well with a Windows PC but I could not get it to connect to my Switch via USB ports on the Switch dock. I assumed it was a problem where it was drawing too much power. I hooked it up to a powered USB hub. The LED flashed for a second but no response on the console. I tried to download a firmware update on the Mayflash support page but the download link was broken. It is great quality and built well. Great for PC if that is what you need. I will be buying an 8bitdo Arcade Stick for Switch for over twice the price. Ouch.
