One of the best quality, most versatile sticks around
This is a significant upgrade from the already excellent and value priced F500 V2, and more easily customizable, from all of the interior components to the faceplate art (Mayflash’s site has helpful templates for making custom art). But even if you don’t intend to mod anything, it still offers SANWA parts in the most important areas (stick, buttons).That said, my only gripe is the weird filing cabinet color for the body, which is far less preferable to almost any other color out there. Fortunately a friend of mine swapped the body for that of an F500 V2, and then modded virtually everything else, right down to replacing plastic washers with metal ones, replacing the default stick with a metal Seimetsu, 3D printing an octagonal gate for pinpoint accuracy when playing 2D shooters, and upgrading the springs under the buttons for superior feedback. He even did a custom etched dustwasher for the bade of the joystick. This is all to prove the point of how endlessly customizable the F500 Elite is.TLDR: Excellent arcade-style joystick right out of the box, but can be made far greater with a little modification.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't beat this one for this price. Hidden bonus I was happy with. Don't hesitate
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2020
Every other positive reviews you can read are correct. This stick is worth its price point. It's probably considered an "entry level" stick, but I'd say it's a mid tier stick at an entry level price.

Pros: Sanwa parts, customization options, universality for multi-system use (and out of the box functionality for most systems), quality materials (nice and weighty), and lots of support from Mayflash on their website.

Cons: Only one in my opinion, and not really a con but more an inconvenience. PS3/4 and Xbox 360/One require one of their original controllers for this to work on those systems. So you're basically plugging this stick into a regular controller, and that controller connects to your console as normal. It's basically just one extra connection, and it's honestly a breeze. There is even a way to avoid the extra wire and console controller alltogether. It's called the Magicboot (for PS4 or Xbox One, they are on Mayflash's website too and can be ordered through amazon). The fightstick has an USB port on the front of it for one of these dongles. The dongle "acts" as the original controller you need connected. Gets rid of all the clutter of using the console controller and reduces it to a little USB dongle sticking a half inch out the front of the stick.

Bonus: Many reviews recommended getting a GT-Y octagonal restrictor plate for the joystick since the stick comes with a square gate. I opened my F500 Elite just 10 minutes ago and guess what I found, an included octagonal gate! I purchased the 8way gate I thought I needed because I didnt know this came with one. Mayflash should update their product description to reflect this if it is indeed included going forward.

So yeah, stick is solid. Tournament grade parts to start with, can be tricked out as you like, and is universal. The 8-way restrictor plate was an added bonus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mayflash Arcade Stick F500 Elite - A Seamless Fusion of Quality and Compatibility
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 25, 2024
With the advent of Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1 last year, followed by the recent release of Tekken 8, I decided it was an opportune time to invest in an arcade stick. Initially considering entry-level options, I stumbled upon the Mayflash range of fight sticks. After thorough research, I settled on the Mayflash F500 Elite arcade stick, and I must say, my decision has been more than rewarding.

One of the primary draws is the inclusion of premium Sanwa hardware components, featuring 9 buttons and a 4-way joystick. The tactile quality of these buttons and the joystick lends a premium feel, enhancing the fluidity and reliability of gameplay.

The arcade stick itself boasts a substantial weight, complemented by rubber feet that ensure stability when used on a surface. Alternatively, if you prefer placing the fight stick on your lap, its weight and size provide a balanced and steady gaming experience.

Compatibility with my Xbox Series X has been seamless. For those mentioning poor compatibility in their reviews, it's likely they haven't completed the firmware update. Addressing this, I promptly performed the firmware update upon receiving the arcade stick. The process, outlined on the official Mayflash website, involves downloading the firmware installer to a PC. After running the installer, pressing and holding the “Start” and “Select” buttons on the arcade stick, and plugging the USB cable into the PC, the update completes effortlessly.

Connecting the arcade stick to the Xbox Series X was equally straightforward. Plugging the F500 Elite USB cable directly into the front USB port of the console and using a USB-A to USB-C cable to connect the F500 Elite to the Xbox controller, I experienced flawless functionality.

The simplicity of setup and the performance of the arcade stick with my console left me thoroughly satisfied. The quality components and premium feel make it more than suitable for professional players. Additional features, such as the headset port, mic mute button, and vibration wrist strap support, further enhance its appeal. The arcade stick also supports turbo functions with different speed settings.

The exceptional build quality and broad system compatibility establish the Mayflash Arcade Stick F500 Elite as a stellar choice, particularly given its price point. I have nothing but praise for this product and wholeheartedly recommend it.
