  MayFlash F500 built for moding

  I like the feel on the joystick Tension Spring feels close to my Sanwa 2014 Silent Joystick - 2 Generation (JLF-TPRG-8AYT-SK) Tension Spring. You can even just buy the Sanwa 2 piece Octagon Restrictor Gate and swap out the MayFlash Restrictor Gate. I got mine for $3.95 from ArcadeShock. The MayFlash Joystick looks good and can change the art work to customize the look. The joystick and buttons are not cheap at all. I really like the buttons and everyone that used the stock button don't even notice. Good size nice amount of palm/risk space for the left hand. There a compartment that hides the USB cord. I mod mine out for a detachable 3ft USB cable. The MAIN THING that I didn't like was the square gate. But this was so easy to change to an Octagon gate. But this is my preference I'm sure there are gamers that use square gate.The buttons are okay they are not bad at all for stock. I swap them out within days so I don't know how long they will last before they wear out.Swap them out for Sanwa 30mm and installed 30MM Foam Silencers for SanwaThe Best thing that I like about the MayFlash F500 is that you can mod out the joystick and buttons with Sanwa part.The first thing I swap out was the joystick for a Sanwa Silent Joystick 2nd Gen (JLF-TPRG-8AYT-SK) The Sanwa comes with a one piece restrictor gate with a square gate.I mod out the square gate with a Sanwa Octagonal restrictor gate. I got bought at arcadeshock.com.Then my next big mod was mod out the Actuator with Kowal 1mm oversize Actuator for Sanwa JLF Series that I got at focusattack.comI also replaced the tension for Sanwa JLF with a 2lb but I put back the one that came with the Sanwa joystick. For me the 2lb was just to stiff. I just kept on noticing how for me it took more effort and after playing for a while I notice it more and more.Moding the F500 with Sanwa parts was easy and fun you can also change the graphic cut out for that look that your looking for.The main thing that was not for me was the square gate but replacing that was easy and cheap.Below is the link when removed the F500 plate to see what is inside and comparing it to the MayFlash V2If you like to see me Compare Flash V2 Venom you can see it here [...]

  Excellent Entry Level / Casual Gaming Fight Stick!

  I'm a casual gamer. Especially when it comes to fighting games. I suppose what frustrated me personally with fighting games on the console, and PC was that it didn't feel like the arcade. I mulled around with the thought of getting a fight stick one day--checking reviews and reading about what 0players recommended. Then I came across this gem: the Mayflash F500. This was exactly the entry-level fighting stick that I was looking for. This fight stick has got me excited in my playing fighting games again! It really does make a difference what kind of controller you use.One of the things that piqued my interest with this particular fight stick, was that reviews were saying it was designed with the casual gamer in mind. That sounded perfect for me. I'm a casual gamer, and I needed something that would get me started—and it wouldn't break my wallet. I'm happy to report that the Mayflash F500 is remarkable for my fighting game needs. It has great weight to it, thanks to a solid metal bottom. It also has a nice plexiglass protective cover (not shown on the Bolo webpage), for smooth movement of my hand/fingers over the top.One of the attractive features of the Mayflash F500 has been it's functionality across multiple platforms too. For me at least, seeing a fight stick work on PS3, PS4, X360, XB1, Android, and PC is phenomenal! I'm mainly a PS4 gamer, and it's been working great on that console with Street Fighter V (SFV). One caveat though, a console controller needs to be plugged into a front USB port of the Mayflash F500--in order for the fight stick to work on the corresponding console. This isn't really a big deal for me personally, because I have a 6-foot USB cable, and I simply lay my PS4 controller out is the way... so it doesn't interfere with my space. It would've been nice that the port was placed in the back of the unit though, instead of the front, because I find it does get slightly in my way when I have it in my lap.I've played with the Mayflash F500 with the stock buttons and joystick for about a week, to see if I liked them. While the buttons are responsive and work well, they can be quite loud when button mashing. Overall this isn't even a major problem, but your selections will be quite audible to you and those around you.The joystick that comes with the Mayflash F500 is okay. This joystick isn't the most responsive one I've used, and I've found that it has a lot of play in-between the micro-switches... and wiggle room (as I like to call it). Up/Down/Left/Right definitely takes some some effort to move out of the dead zone. I've found that the distance from the dead zone to contact with the micro-switches caused delays in my fighting movements in SFV (for example); I would miss some jumps or special moves a lot. The joystick is mounted to a 4-way square gate on it's bottom, and thankfully the Mayflash F500 comes with an a replacement 8-way octagonal gate. I immediately replaced the 4-way gate with the 8-way gate in order to get a better locked-in range.The amazing thing about this fighting stick so far has been the choice for me to mod it. After a week of playing with the fight stick with stock inputs, I was able to get an idea of what I wanted--and what I was better looking for. As a teenager growing up the 1980's I frequented public arcades whenever I could. I got used to those style of arcade machines, and their joystick movements (e.g. tension, range, feel). Thankfully there are a multitude of replacement parts available online, and I've been able to mod my Mayflash to my liking now... and I'm absolutely loving it.I want to say that the Mayflash F500 is a fine fighting stick all on it's own. How it's built, designed, and plays is excellent. This is certainly a decent fight stick. I love it's weight, it's mod-ability, and it's overall size and feel. It's clean, neat, and compact--it doesn't take up a lot of space on my desk or lap. For anyone starting out looking for an entry-level fight stick like me, I encourage you to try the Mayflash F500 out. I think you'll be pleased with it, until you decide to double-down on a more expensive stick down the road. I know that I'm glad that I got this, and I'll be passing it down to my daughter when I finally make the jump to a $300 fight stick down the road.==============================Addendum:For those wondering what I replaced the stock buttons and joystick with, I went with Sanwa Denshi. Although Bolo has some great replacement parts available here on it's website, you'll need to go to places like Arcade Shock or Focus Attack to find more variety and choices. I was able to change my ball top on the joystick with a bat top style. I was also able to find colored buttons, and I mimicked the color scheme of the PS4 controller inputs. I was also able to find sound dampeners that I could stick in each button, to quiet down my intense button mashing. The choices for customizing are endless. Have fun, and happy gaming! ツ

  Probado y funcionando por mi en Android / PS3 / PS4 /Raspberry Pi / Android TV / Steam

  Destinado a usuarios que quieran iniciarse en el tema de los arcadesticks y su personalización. Este kit tiene todo en 1 por un precio genial.. ¿QUÉ TRAE LA V2?- Joystick Mayflash F500- Restrictor octogonal- Cable USB para los mandos de Xbox 360/ Xbox One/PS3/PS4- Manual de instrucciones sencillo y completoSi estás pensando en iniciarte en el tema de los arcadesticks ésta es la mejor opción. Después de mirar miles de reviews por youtube y reseñas de Bolo me decidí por éste modelo. Palanca genial y botones muy muy suaves al tacto que nada tienen que envidiar a los originales de Sanwa, si los cambio en el futuro será por estética.. ¿QUÉ TAMAÑO TIENE?Tiene el tamaño y peso perfecto para que no se tambalee en la mesa. Además deja hueco para la mano y te sobra espacio por todos lados aunque seas un tipo con manos grandes como yo. Aunque viendo imágenes por internet pensé no que no iba a ser cómodo para jugar con él en las piernas, todo lo contrario, es bastante cómodo y el cable de 2 metros es bastante largo para separarte de la pantalla y poder jugar con él en tus piernas. También tiene toma de auriculares que solo he conseguido hacer funcionar en PS4 (supongo que será porque es el único mando que tengo con jack).Incluye también un adaptador USB-C a USB 2.0. para poder conectar el joystick al móvil. Lo he probado en un Samsung S8 de Android y los emuladores lo detectan sin configurar siquiera una tecla, conectar y jugar. En Raspberry Pi conectas y configuras las teclas como cualquier otro mando. He de decir que el boton hotkey se tiene que configurar en el select, así que cuidado al introducir créditos en MAME porque si le das a Select y a Start a la vez si eres jugador 1, te sales del juego. Cuando te acostumbras no es problema.¿ES VERDAD QUE HAY QUE CONECTAR UN CABLE CON UN MANDO PARA JUGAR CON PLAY/XBOX? ¿SON MALOS LOS BOTONES?Si juegas en Xbox360/Xbox One/PS3/PS4 tienes que conectar un cable USB que viene. Yo suelo jugar en la mesa así que no tengo problemas con ello, si tienes un alargador USB podrías jugar con el joystick en las piernas o simplemente dejarlo en el suelo porque el cable llega de sobra. Si juegas mucho en consola busca Mayflash MAGIC-S Pro Wireless Controller Adapter for Nintendo Switch , PS4,PS3, PC, NEOGEO mini, PS Classic en Bolo. Es un receptor bluetooth en forma de pendrive que hará que no tengas que conectar el cable. Sinceramente no lo he adquirido porque yo no tengo problema con ello.Quizá es que la gente es muy exagerada o que yo juego tranquilo porque no es la primera vez que cojo un arcadestick, pero ni la palanca ni los botones hacen apenas ruido como dicen, de hecho el tacto de los botones es suave y genial aunque no sean originales. Me recuerdan a la pulsación de un teclado mecánico de PC pero sin su característico ruído. Lo mismo Mayflash ha aumentado su calidad de producción con esta versión V2 que venden ahora.. ¿QUÉ ES UN RESTRICTOR OCTOGONAL DEL QUE TODO EL MUNDO HABLA?Lo del restrictor es depende con qué tipo de personajes juegues. Si juegas Street Fighter y usas a Ryu, Ken, Juri o personajes que utilicen ataques circulares, ponlo. Si juegas a Tekken, Soul Calibur o por su defecto usas personajes de carga como Guile o Vega, deja el que viene puesto. Es simplemente como de fácil entran los combos, notas las esquinas de los restrictores y si vas a jugar juegos de 4 o de 8 direcciones. Vamos yo he jugado con Ken haciendo los hadokens y shoryken con el restrictor cuadrado, es cuestión de gustos.. ¿DÓNDE LO HE PROBADO?En Steam he puesto Ultra Street Fighter IV y va de lujo. Te lo pilla en Modo Big Picture y puedes navegar con el joystick como si de una consola se tratase. En PS4 y PS3 poniendo el mando en la mesa y conectándolo he jugado a Tekken 7 y Tekken Tag Tournament 2. En el móvil Android he probado el emulador de Game Boy Advance y en Android TV el emulador de PSX con el Tekken 3 (no estaba muy creativo). Excepto en PS3 y PS4 que exige tener el mando conectado por USB al joystick el resto ha sido enchufar el USB y listo para jugar sin configurar nada. En Rapsberry Pi si he tenido que configurar los botones, pero como cualquier mando que enchufas. Ahora In The Hunt o Metal Slug son menos cansinos porque es gustoso aporrear botones.El resto de dispositivos no los tengo, pero imagino que funcionarán del mimo modo.. ¿QUÉ PODEMOS HACER CON ÉL?Entre sus posibilidades puedes cambiarle los botones centrales por Sanwa o Seimitsu de 30mmm, el botón Start es uno de 24mm, pero sinceramente si se hace esto creo que es más bien por estética que por otra cosa. Los botones son de muy buena calidad.Le puedes cambiar el artwork o imagen que tienes detrás de ese acrílico que no se raya con facilidad, eso sí, desatornillando desde abajo todo como si fueras a cambiar los botones, pero es sencillo. Puedes ir a una copistería o imprimir en A3 cualquier plantilla si dominas un poco de Photoshop o buscas Mayflash F500 template en Google.La palanca es buena, pero si decides cambiarla, ten en cuenta que no tiene cableado de Sanwa, sino que los switches están soldados. Es posible reemplazarla, pero cambiar los botones es más fácil si nunca le has metido mano a estos productos.SI HAS LEÍDO TODO ESTE TOCHACO HASTA AQUÍ TE DOY MI ENHORABUENA :) voy a pedir otro para un segundo player.

  Amazing Arcade Stick (Easy To Mod)

  Superb I'm using on pc and have easily upgraded all buttons and joystick to Sanwa. Simple to mod no soldering as the boards compatible with JST-XH female to female cable so just plug into the new Sanwa Joystick JLF-TP-8YT and the board works perfect and use 30 mm buttons except for start 24mm. This is a amazing stick even the standard buttons and stick are great for a novice or causal plasyer. It's also easy to custom art just download the template from the Mayflash site. It's big enough to use on your lap too and a good weight. I thought build quality was excellent. Also tried on Android works like a charm. But for console you do need to plug a gamepad in for it to work. Highly recommend so glad I bought this over more expensive as even with the high quality Sanwa parts it's still cheaper but that's your choice.

  Quality Fightstick

  A fantastic value for money purchase. I bought this stick after around 20 hours of Tekken 7 and a lifetime of fighting game experience. If you are looking for an "affordable" stick, I would recommend the F500 more than anything. It comes by default with a square gate installed (octagon gate included in the order) and a customizable plate on top. Easy to switch out components, too. For a starter stick, this is definitely the one I would recommend (sticks cheaper than the F500 generally deliver on price, they don't last long and they don't perform too well over time).The F500 is compatible natively with PS3, Xbox360 and of course PC. It is not natively compatible with the PS4, however most games on PS4 have their own internal decoders that let legacy fightsticks such the F500 work.Would recommend.
