Any plans for an F700 Elite using Sanwa joystick and buttons? I own the F500 Elite and love it! 2nd player will definitely be the F700 if an Elite model is produced. 👍
I prefer the bigger Seimitsu lever in the F500 since the top panel has screw holes for it. I just have to remove the mounting plate and screw the lever directly to the panel.
Top panel is not screwed . It is 6pcs magnets on top panel. F500 supports korean Sumducksa lever(Crwon CWL-309). It quires the user do soldering cable on levers.
If you did not buy SANWA joystick, Please buy it from www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT7QSXKS?ref=myi_title_dp . MAYFLASH'S official store at Amazon. And we added one 5pin-pin cable inside to help user to DIY. Thanks
Thanks for the video tutorial! The truth is that I have no skill in these things and without very detailed instructions I would not dare to do it. Now maybe I'll be encouraged to change the buttons and stick. As for the lever, I'm clear that I would choose SANWA JLF-TP-8Y but I have doubts about the buttons. Although it is not a very orthodox combination, is it possible to put Sanwa and Seimitsu buttons at the same time? I've seen the range of translucent buttons from both brands and I'm looking forward to putting buttons from both. I had thought about putting 5 Seimitsu and 3 Sanwa... does it make sense? would i need additional wiring? Is the Mayflash F500 V2 compatible with the Seimitsu PS-14-KN 30mm and PS-14-K 30mm buttons? If so, my idea is to combine Seimitsu PS-14-K 30mm with Sanwa OBSC-30-C Snap In. Sorry for so many questions. I'm a total newbie to arcade buttons because until recently I've only played with gamepads.
So I was following this until the plugging in of the new stick as mine only has that 5 pin wire harness on one side, was it supposed to have 2? Do I need to buy one?
yes, you need to buy harness with both ends 5pin-terminal. Please check it from www.mayflash.com/product/SANWA_JLF_TP_8YT_Joystick_Gray_Original.html Sanwa joystick with both-ends 5pin terminal.
1. I can't detach the wires from the buttons; they're clamped down ridicously tight. Any recommendations? 2. I'm moving my F300 Elite stick and buttons to an F500V2 body; can I use the F300's five pin wire harness?
I've done the steps in the video, i got myself another sanwa stick to replace the original one, but when i plug it it only detects "Up" and "Diagonal right Up" Inputs, what could it be? I've already updated the firmware and switched between LS, DP and RS, they only detect those 2 inputs. Thanks for the tutorial also
1. Please try to assemble back MAYFLASH original stick, does it work well? All inputs can be detected. 2. If original is ok. Please check with the 5 PIN harness from Sanwa , Maybe you need to change a new harness to check.
@@juanospitia There is a 5-pin slot space on F500V2 PCB board. This slot is for SANWA TP-8YT Joystick 5pin cable. Please be sure that the SANWA Joystick you bought has this 5pins cable.
@@mayflashm7044 it does have the 5 pin connector slot but the cable came with only one side with a connector, the other one has 5 exposed wires. Apparently my only option is to buy more cables online...
The 5pins cable we got from Sanwa ---both ends have connectors. Please source this kind cable at internet. BTW,we've got feedback from fans ,they stated"this cable worked and was easy to install (no soldering needed): www.arcadeworlduk.com/products/jst-xh-female-to-female-connector-cable.html"----This just for your kind reference as we did not buy this cable to make test.
Hello ，you've to buy the 5-pin cable （female to female）separately if Sanwa didn't offer the both side clips cable .

Question, I bought the Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick and it came with the same connector as in this video, white connector with 5 colored wires, but the other end of the cable does not have one of those white connector and just ends in the wires. I have no idea how to connect those to the Mayflash F500 board. Anyone have experience with this type or is it not compatible?
1. It seems you need to solidering the wires on MAYFLASH joystick. 2.

@@mayflashm7044 Thanks for your reply. I actually found references to this type of cable and looking into it. Although, soldering and getting experience doing that might also be okay. :)
There is no true up or down. "Up" is determined by which ground is oriented in this setup. If you have it wrong (up=down, is the only other outcome possible here), just flip the cable connection at the base of the joystick.
Why is my f500 turns off every 5-6 minutes while using on ps 4 or 5 ?? Does anyone know? Done the updates and used the magic s pro2 same still turns off every 6 mins..
If you want to play at PS4, please contact official PLAYSTATION 4 controller into USB Slot of F500; If you want to play game at PS5, please contact MAYFLASH'S Magic-s ultimate adapter into USB Slot of F500.
Thanks Mayflash.
I love the F500 so much, I bought two.
Thanks a lot. Have fun & enjoy game!
Thanks a ton! Quick and to the point with clear visuals - exactly what I'm after.
Thank you ~~
Best stick on the market for the money
Thanks for your approval. MAYFLASH will release one new bluetooth fighting stick at Sep. Please keep watching.
I would install a sanwa JLF lever, an eight-way restrictor gate, a bat-top and hayabusa buttons into the Mayflash F500 V2.
I miss my wife
I also miss your wife
I miss her alot...
I'll be back...

Cant wait for my Sanwa JFL lever to arrive/delivered. I think the stock buttons are enough... for now.
Hello, great video. Could you tell me what the cables for connecting the joystick are?
5pin-cables to connecting joysticks.
Is that 5 pin cable male to female or female to female or what? I'm having trouble seeing it
female to female 5pin cable

Vid looks great

Sanwa joystick with both-ends 5pin terminal.
Where do you get this ribbon cable? Mine only came with plug on one end, the other end is bare wires.
We purchased Sanwa Buttons/stick in bulk fom Samwa official distributor directly .
please buy SANWA joystick from this link---www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT7QSXKS?ref=myi_title_dp
We've added one more cable with both 5pin-ends for easily DIY
How can I get the cords out of the buttons like you did? Mine are very stuck and I’m being sure not to damage anything
you can use tools------such as pliers to help you to take out of the cords.
1. I can't detach the wires from the buttons; they're clamped down ridicously tight. Any recommendations?
2. I'm moving my F300 Elite stick and buttons to an F500V2 body; can I use the F300's five pin wire harness?
1. Use pliers (such as needle-nose pliers) to get the wires rid of button easily.
2. Yes, you can.
I've done the steps in the video, i got myself another sanwa stick to replace the original one, but when i plug it it only detects "Up" and "Diagonal right Up" Inputs, what could it be? I've already updated the firmware and switched between LS, DP and RS, they only detect those 2 inputs.

What sanwa joystick do you use I have one and there is only 1 set of 5pin connectors the rest are loose exposed wires

Can you tell me what size the buttons are?
size is 30MM for 8 big buttons, and 1 small button size is 24mm.
Can the 8 sided gate that came with the f500 be used on a replacement Sanwa stick ?
yes, It can.
My new joystick has different cable that’s in there. The new cable has clip on 1 side but other side of wires are stripped. How do I connect ? Thanks
