Been watching reviews of this stick for the past week, and you're the only one who mentioned and showed that the Xbox controller still works while plugged into the passthrough port. Thanks for that. Maybe it's an obvious detail to everyone else, but I wanted to know for sure. Might come in handy for some games.
Hello, thanks for the comment. I try to be comprehensive in my videos and think ‘what would I have wanted to know’. The pass through it’s actually pretty useful as sometimes it’s easier to navigate the menus of some games using the controller than the stick. But the stick is definitely the way to play fighting games. Although I’m better at MK11 with a controller but I think that might be as I played a lot of MK before I had the stick.
Looks super well put together. A must have for any arcade game fan 👍
It is definitely a high quality product. I couldn’t believe how responsive the buttons are. Highly recommended for sure! One of my favourite purchases in recent memory.
Thanks for the video, really helped me out setting up my stick. I had a really hard time using it with my PC, I got the magic s pro 2 also from mayflash and fixed my controller problems there, now I can use my stick with my switch and pc very easily.
Hello, thanks for the comment. You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful! I really love this fight stick especially as it has great compatibility (after a bit of work of course).
Is this stick not plug and play for pc?
Hello, thanks for the comment. To confirm this is plug and play for PC. It use it on PC regularly. It’s getting it working on consoles that needs some extra steps.
Worked like a charm on the PS5 thanks 🙏
Hello, thanks for the comment. Glad you have it up and running, and enjoyed the video.
Niccccce definitely gonna get one!
Hello, thanks for the comment! I would definitely recommend this. Especially with the new Street Fighter round the corner. Let me know how you get on if you order one.
Hey mate, I may have missed it, but did your stick come with an octagonal gate in the box? Seen some Amazon reviews where they state it includes one, just ordered myself a 500 elite and wanted to see if I need to snag a gate as well. Cheers.
Hello, thanks for the comment. No problem at all. It does come with an Octagonal Gate. If it helps, you can see what it looks like in my video at around 4:15. To be honest I didn’t know what it was originally haha.
I have this arcade stick and can i play on xbox consoles with Wingman xb2 adapter, no need aditional controllers plugued....... I can also use it on ps5 with the mayflahs ultimate adapter
Hello, thanks for the comment. You can definitely play on the PS5 with this stick using the Mayflash adaptor. Not sure about the Wingman adaptor but if you plug in any Xbox controller via usb to the fight-stick it will work on the Xbox consoles.
Hey man im going to locals in about a month and just picked this one up as a replacement for an old stick i had. The local is using the ps4 version of the game, whats the best way to connect it to ps4? Do i need to bring a ps4 controller or can i use that adapter you had for the ps5? Thanks
Hello, thanks for the comment. To use the stick on a PS4 you need to put the fight stick to game console mode and plug in an original PS4 controller. Then plug the stick into the PS4 and it should work perfectly. Hope this helps and good luck for the competition.
From what I read the way they're making it universal adds significant input lag
Hello, thanks for the comment. After using this extensively, I personally haven’t noticed any lag at all. However I am not a frame timing expert, but as an average player this pad is perfect for me.
Thinking of getting the f300 elite for £95 compared to this for £125. Mainly cause it's smaller for lil sister
That is a good idea as it is meant to be a bit smaller and a bit lighter too. But has the same high quality buttons and stick.
Does the smaller size make much of a difference to playability and comfort on the f300 elite compared to the f500 elite ? I’m trying to decide between the two.
Hello, thanks for the comment. I think honestly it depends on the size of your hands. I prefer a larger button set up. But if someone has smaller hands the f300 might be more comfortable. I would be interested to know what other people think though.
@@angelalilley2998 I can sit it in a good groove on my lap for sitting back and playing. Imagine the the f500 won't be any where as comfortable when sitting on you
got a 8bit do used with sanwa joy stick and sanwa 4 buttons for $60 freaking steal
which is the difference bt this one and the 500 v2? thanks!
Hello, thanks for the comment. The main difference is the manufacturer of the buttons and joystick. The 500 V2 has the standard buttons and joystick but the elite has Sanwa buttons and joystick. Many believe Sanwa are the best quality and performance parts you can get on fightsticks.
I dont understand one thing. If I use the magic adapter to connect the Stick to ps5 there is a input lag? The Stick Is still connected via cable to the console so I expect no input lag due to adapter. Is this correct?
Hello, thanks for the comment. You are correct, there is no input lag as the stick is connecting to the console via usb. The magic adapter just makes the PS5 recognise the stick as a compatible device. So there is no connection between the adapter and the console. The means there is no introduction of lag. Hope this helps.
@@TheIchibanProductions Thank you for the clarification!
Question can u use like a brook adapter on a series s also ?
Hello, thanks for the comment. I honestly don’t know about a Brook Adapter as I don’t have one. I would like to know the answer to this too but if I had to guess I would say no as it is quite specific that it will work with and what it won’t.
If I bought the Mayfair Ultimate adapter do I still need to connect to an Xbox controller?
Hello, yes you do. The adaptor allows for a connection to a PS5 but to connect it to an Xbox the fightstick needs to have an Xbox controller plugged in.
With the magic spro 2 it is not possible to connect it without the xbox one controller?
Hello, thanks for the comment. Afraid not, the Magic Pro 2 allows for the fight stick to connect to the PS5 without a controller but you will need an Xbox controller connected to connect it to an Xbox.
Have you ever tried out the Hayabusa parts? They suck.
Hello, thanks for the comment. Never personally used them but have definitely heard mixed things about them.
Any chance this works on steamdeck too? Not many sticks tested on the deck and I'm keen to get one. Cheers
Hello, thanks for the comment. It is almost like you have predicted the future as my video for next week is covering your exact question. However, spoilers, this fightstick does 100% work with the Steam Deck!
@@TheIchibanProductions outstanding, thanks for the quick response and positive spoilers. Ordering a f500 elite now!
No problems. Happy to help. If your going to get it from Amazon UK, feel free to use my affiliate link in the comments if your feeling generous.
Did you try using the alternative gate they supplied with it?
Hello, thanks for the comment. I haven’t actually. Have you? Does it make much difference?
@@TheIchibanProductions it's personal preference. Square gate makes diagonals easier to find but octo gate makes rotational moves easier.
Also, the centre section of the square gate can be rotated 90deg and turns the stick into a 4-way with no diagonals. Handy for some retro arcade games.
It’s so obvious now you have said it but I have legit leant something new!
is the 4-way or the octogonal joystick preinstalled?
Hello, thanks for the comment. I am almost certain it is octagonal.
The square gate is pre-installed.
hello friend on xbox series x only works if the xbox controller is connected?
Hello, thanks for the comment. You will need to have an Xbox controller plugged into the fight stick to ensure the fight stick works on the series x. As soon as you unplug the Xbox controller from the fight stick it will stop being recognised by the console and stop working.
Having the issue that my f500 elite will disconnect after every few minutes but everything else is fine. Anyone know the solution to fix that? I use a magic s pro 2, already updated the firmware and still get that problem :(
Hello, thanks for the comment. Is it a PS5 you are connecting to when you are experiencing the disconnects?
@@TheIchibanProductions yes!
I’m having the same problem but with the F300, it disconnects after 5 minutes or so, I checked online and a few other people are having the same exact problem on the ps5, with both the F300 and F500
Ok after watching a few more videos (specifically reading the comments section) turns out the problem is not the fight stick, but the Magic - S PRO 2, I went to Amazon were I bought it and in the description it reads in all caps that it doesn’t work to on the f300 and f500 to connect on ps5, for that you need the Magic -S 1 pro, which is out of stock, some people on the other videos comment section also confirmed it, hope that helps brother
Hello, thanks for the comment and answering the question. Much appreciated. I will add this to the description to help others!
Kool but with x box series x controller no share capture button on the fight stick it won't capture screen shoots or videos any solutions? It has the button but it won't work on the stick
Hello, thanks for the comment. What I have done is used the Xbox to remap the capture/share button to one of the back paddles on the elite controller and have a controller profile specifically for when I use the arcade stick. If someone only has a standard controller I would remap it to LS3 (pressing in the left stick). I’ll investigate to see if I can get it working directly from the stick though.
@@TheIchibanProductionsgood thnx alot I got the black and red mayflash F500 V2 feels like sanwa quality even though it's not sanwa
@@linojay201 does it work with ps5 thou and new xboxs?
@@docrobotnik247 yes it does for ps4 games only on ps5 console and to be able to play native ps5 games you need a black adapter called [[mayflash magic s pro 1]] plugged in the female usb mayflash arcade stick a blue light comes on when it's on
@@linojay201 great quick answer, you've earned a sub, I've ordered the f300 elite to save some pennies as I'll handle my own wire storage. Just hope they all get the same firmware updates tbh. I'm good to wait for that adapter thou, not gonna buy it solely to play MK11 on ps5. More looking forward to see if Soul Caliber 2 remastered on the Xbox one works
I'm thinking of getting this. Does anyone know if you can plug a PS5 controller into this stick (instead of a PS4 controller) to link it to a PS5?
Trying to avoid buying an adapter
Hello, thanks for the comment. I can confirm 100% that plugging in a PS5 controller doesn’t work. To get the fightstick to work on a PS5 you’ll need the adapter unfortunately.
@@TheIchibanProductions but can you just plug in a PS4 controller?
Hello, thanks for the comment. I am afraid that won’t work either. For the PS5 it needs to be the adaptor.
@@TheIchibanProductions but for all ps4 games you could use a official Sony ps4 controller? Thx in advance;)
That is very true however the FightStick doesn’t recognise the PS4 or 5 controller being plugged in. It only works like that for the Xbox. It is a shame but I have tried it.
Wait, does the Xbox controller need to remain connected to the stick in order to use the stick?
Hello, thanks for the comment. You only need the Xbox controller plugged in for it to work on Xbox. It doesn’t need to be plugged in to be used on PC or Switch. You do however need an adaptor for it to work on PS5.
*Gets hit once “cheater!” lol I feel your pain
it is possible to put korean sticks on this box?
Hello, thanks for the comment. To be honest I don’t 100% know. But from some research it seem a Samducksa Crown 309MJ is a korean stick you can put in without drilling. Most other ones will required extra drilling.
Can I use it on a Dreamcast??? I need to know plzzzz
Hello, thanks for the comment. Sorry I don’t have a Dreamcast to try this on, so would like to know the answer too.
wish you had hook this up to a SUPER NINTENDO
Hello, thanks for the comment. I used to have a Super Nintendo when I was much younger but I ended up selling it. Major regrets now!
@@TheIchibanProductions i am sure my friend. I'm having a BLAST with mines. these days they don't make FUN games anymore. i also have a nice collection of N64 games. I'm never giving any of these 2 systems up
Is the may flash adapter required for ps5?
Hello, thanks for the comment. The adaptor is needed for the PS5, check out time stamp 11mins for the PS5 part.
Ok thx
No problem. If you’re getting the adaptor be careful to get the right one… MAYFLASH MAGIC-S PRO 1 amzn.eu/d/1oS98vw
Still work on xbox series s?
Hello, thanks for the comment. Yes this fight-stick will work on a Series S. You will need to make sure an Xbox Controller plugged into the fight-stick using a usb cable and it will work perfectly.
Not a cheap piece of "turd" lol
Hello, thanks for the comment. Definitely not! I really do like this fightstick!
I know this is high quality but it looks so bland
Hello, thanks for the comment. I know what you mean regarding the grey. You can however remove the top and replaced the faceplate with a custom design. But not sure much will compliment that metal grey.
I actually love it. Looks better than my normal f500 haha...yeah, I'm a bland person 😅
Thanks for the comment. I do the like red/black of the normal f500. But I think I need to explore changing the faceplate on the elite to something a bit more interesting. I do still love my elite though. Such a good stick.
im to poor
Hello, thanks for the comment. You could try the F101 or F300 which are similar but more wallet friendly.
Please gift it to me 🎉😅
Hello, thanks for the comment. No harm in asking but I literally use it all the time. Worth the investment!
@@TheIchibanProductions I want to use it for play in tournament
If you're using this with consoles, or with improper PC and display configuration, you're not getting the full benefit of using this stick.
You need something like a MAME setup on a PC that is capable of driving a CRT at native resolutions, a CRT to drive, and you need to use the stick in DINPUT mode, and you need to use software to increase the USB poll rate to the max 1000 mS. Otherwise, the input lag of flat panel displays and consoles/improperly configured PC just completely negates any benefit of getting this stick. After trying both, I won't touch anything with input lag - not worth my time.
Hello, thanks for the comment and advice. You certainly sound like a pro! Out of curiosity what is your fighting game of choice?
@@TheIchibanProductions Good old Street Fighter II Champion Edition. Been using the square gate the stick came with. Getting better with it... I can seem to tatsumaki senpu kyak alot better than I can haduken for some reason... Tempted to try the 8-way gate though.
Yes it's superb to retro game on a CRT (I have my MiSTer FPGA hooked up to a 21" Sony Trinitron) but a good arcade stick improves the gaming experience for many game types regardless of the display you are using. You mentioned MAME - which is great. However I'm surprised a lag purist like yourself is not running on an FPGA setup.
