When your talking cost of controller boards keep in mind xbox one 3rd party controllers cost les than $20. Rewire that into this and you have actual compatibility... unacceptable pathetic waste of money. THE SOUND PORT IS A LIE IT DOES NOTHING ON PC AS THIS HAS NO SOUND CHIP@! The electronics are garbage. There is a workaround with a USB sound card and hub but THE AUDIO PORT is why I got this model!
I just bought the F500 Elite on Amazon tonight. It should be arriving tomorrow! I'm going to mainly play it on my PC but I'm hoping the adapter it comes with works as intended on my Switch. I'd really love to use it on my Switch as well. This will be my first arcade stick; I'm super excited!
Just got mine delivered today and im about to show my grand kids what real gaming on a fight stick controller is all about going to draw some artwork and find a better way to keep it in place
Can anyone tell me how get it to work with my PS4 properly without a PC to update firmware ? PlayStation recognizes the stick’s buttons but not the stick itself for motion .
Just a heads up for anyone looking to buy this for the PS5. I can confirm it works on native PS5 games with the magicboots USB adapter + the latest firmware installed in the stick. Have fun!
@@RicardoGonzalez-ms3dg don't know about the F300 elite I have the F500 elite with no firmware updates. I set my to Android and it works on the Genesis mini. I was wrong about the TurboGrafx mini though. It doesn't work on it.
Now I'm about to change out the square plate for the octagon plate so that I can play combos better on killer instinct and street fighter. Thanks for the love, great video
Bought this stick after procrastinating forever on buying one. My first arcade stick, so I don't have anything to compare with. I use it on a PC with CRT Emudriver driving a CRT. Anyway, I've been beating the sh*t outta this thing all week. Seems pretty heavy duty. You can tap the button switches really dang fast. If you use it on a Windows PC, I recommend using DINPUT and use a software to adjust the USB poll rate to the max 1000 mS, because there is very noticeable input lag in XINPUT mode. For me and my setup, anyways.
hi i to am thinking about getting a fightstick will be using it on PC just wondering if it needed anything else to connect it or is it all just good to go out the box? thanks!
@@01talima Should work out of the box with Winblows PC. The stick has one USB cable that plugs into the PC. Nothing else needs to be plugged in to either the PC or the stick. There may be a quirk... if the LED on the stick is ORANGE and one of the main actions buttons doesn't seem to work; unplug the USB cable, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in. If the LED on the stick is now RED, then all the buttons should now work.
Basically you get good components as far as buttons and joysticks but the PCB board has much higher lag then other sticks on the market and that's more important. Sanwa buttons and joysticks is like plug and play legos any one can mod them.
it would not be connected because raspberry pi 4 only accept zero delay encoder fightstick the ps4 controller gets connected because we connect it through bluetooth
I might pick one of these up even though i got a Street Fighter II themed Hori arcade stick that is compatible with Switch/PS3 and PC. I would like a stick that is compatible with more gaming systems. Great video thanks for sharing.
he is apply some pressure on plexi so it move abit and when you play you don't move plexi much by notice, so its not a deal breaker, hope this message helps
I just got mine. I'd really like to add artwork and custom joystick. But I don't see myself rewiring anything until I get really familiar with fight sticks.
the mayflash board has some lag... i cant play ketsui with this thing... i have one of these in my venom i would suggest to mod a brook board inside instead.
This is a "mid" quality stick for starters. Also a stick that can play on anything. Your brook board cost the same as this whole thing. Yes it will eliminate the need of plugging a controller or buying the magic boot. But if you want to do that just buy a bigger shell for convenience. This little thing is to 1 learn how to play in stick 2 see if you like playing on stick 3 dont have to buy different sticks 4 dont spend slot of money on something you may never use 5 its portable. And the size is considerably small. And ita mod friendly in case that you want to do anything that you mentioned. Wich I'd only change the board if it fried and I liked playing on stick. At a range of 200+ you can just get an obsidian or a pantera. Want to spend a bit more get a dragon. If I'm not mistaken if lag is your issue GET the dragon beats the brook UFB.
@@blinkshadown Ive heard a couple people in the past state the board in these has a lot of lag... And yeah I can be sensitive to input lag and have used other sticks and own a few others... I dont perceive any lag with this when playing on PS4 or Switch... My inputs feel the same as the original controllers... So im not sure. I also own 2 brooks universal fighting boards I have in a 2 player stick and feels pretty much the same to me.
@@Madlittlepixel I think his complain (not mine) are the 6-8 ms of lag, wich the "Nintendo pro controller" has that same 8ms The UFB has roughly 4-5 ms if I'm not mistaken the qamba dragon has under 2 ms. Heck even the "old ps4 controller" had 10 ms of delay wired compared to wireless/bluetooth at 2.8 ms NOW with updates and another function that has you hardwire the controller (if disconnected it shuts off) it became either the same or slightly faster than when in bluetooth. Anything that's under 10ms of delay is good. This only If the rest of your equipment doesnt lag as much If your monitor or TV has lag (they all do) if your game has imput lag (they all do) and your response time is slow (most people have a 3-5 frames of response time delay. Ideally you want to have something that has 3-8 ms your monitor or TV should have under 30 ms and your game has around 2-3 frames wich is like 60-70 ms All this talk is for 0.00XX of a second of an arcade stick. When the TV and the game itself and your own time of response ti press a button is like higher than it...
I don't mind plugging in a additional controller for Xbox. I mainly bought this for my neo geo arcade stick pro and my switch. I think my only real issue with it is how ugly it is at square one. Easy fix but even the box reminds me of the late 80s.

Just like with the regular F500, the fact that you need to plug in an additional controller as a path through for the different consoles is a deal breaker. Yes, you get access to basically all platforms with one purchase but I would rather recommend to buy a PS4 stick and get an additional adapter from Brooks (or from somewhere else) for the other consoles.
@@deusprogrammer_thekingofspace Maybe you choose a non-compatible Sanwa stick? Because I had found one that was compatible but it was requiring a bit of soldering which is why I switched to a seimitsu one.
Hey Ron, I will give a try this one. Thanks for your advice. By the way I sent you a pm through Facebook few weeks ago to ask you something about my build. Let me know, cheers and keep it up 🤪
Can you check out the Nexilux NXL-95195 adapter? It's like one of those Brook converters, but really cheap for some reason, and it does a lot of consoles. It adapts most consoles' controllers/fightsticks to work with Switch/PS3/PC and it can even sync with wireless controllers. It's selling on eBay for $20 right now, I've been debating getting one but I haven't seen many reviews of it.
Do they make you connect a DS4 because it's not an official PS4 stick, so they have to implement a workaround? Is that also a reason for the reduced price (no royalties to Sony)?
I boomed and thumbs up the video :D I see that your into the new fighting game too 0/ I heard max talk about the game’s balancing :) He was disappointing about it :0 I like harder core Mechanics :3
Not a Xbox gamer, but anything Hori or Qanba is going to be high quality. Generally Sanwa parts are considered "the best" and anything with Sanwa should be half decent. I seen a lot of professional players playing Qanba, but I've never looked for a Xbox stick, so I hope that information is relevant to you
does this stick come with a Octagonal gate? i saw when you had it open it look like it had it but when when you read the description on amazon it says 4-way joystick
Hi, I would like to buy one of these for playing shmups but I'v read the same, please can you explain me the difference betweem a 4 way and a 8 way and how it will come with?
@@marcoarcadesuperplays 4 way is Up,Down , Left Right. Which is in the shape of a diamond. 8 way is up, down, left, right then you have your diagonal inputs which are up left, down left,down right and up right. Which is in the shape of a octogon.
So to play games like Pacman for example you would have to switch the plastic gate form 8 way to 4 way because pacman doesn't require you to use 8 different directions. It would actually hurt you more then it would help u. Now i bought my mother F500 elite for pacman and other arcade games. The elite comes with an 8 way to 4 way gate and you can switch the gate you need to push down on it then turn the two plastic pieces sticking up. Once you have done that it will now be the diamond shape which restricts u from do the other directional inputs.
So the front panel isnt a mic and headphone jack its actally a headphone jack and a vibration wrist strap jack. Its like $12 bucks and while it doesnt work on all games its fun for the kids. Im tempted to reverse the plug and make a wannabe single shock rumble foght stick ol
I'll see if I still have it, but it was something I formatted and put together to have printed, not sure If I still have the image file or not but I'll look.
@@Madlittlepixel Thank you so much. I was trying to find that wallpaper online but no luck plus Im pretty much a photoshop noob😔😔😢 Im located in South Korea and Im trying to customize this unit since is quite affordable in this country compared to other brands.
Works just fine on the Pi using recalbox or retropie. Havent used it on the odroid xu4, but it will be just the same. Havent had any issues using for emulation~
Yes. This does not have wireless capabilities. It requires the use of a controller attached for those systems in order for it to work since its not completely built in. The magicboot just makes it so you dont have to have a controller attached to the stick.
@@Madlittlepixel hello how do you connect the mayflash f500 to the switch? Do you need a magic boot (switch version) adapter? Because when I just plug into the dock ordinarily, it isn't recognized at all. I really want to use it for my switch but I just can't seem to sync it up.
My brother gave me an arcade stick but i gave it back because according to me the stick was not firm, the sphere specifically. I just got the mayflash f500. And to my surprise it happens the same. It has been ages since I've played with cabinets in malls but i really don't remember that the ball moves. Meaning the red sphere is not firm with the stick but rotate in the stick, i tried to play pacman, pretty because i have to grab the sphere in a way that it does not move. Is this normal? It's getting on my nerves, can it be adjusted or is just like that in any stick, the sphere rotates freely on the stick?. :/
You know you can purchase new sticks, right? Kind of rude all things considered. Most Fight Sticks, unless stated otherwise, don't come with high-end parts and will need replacing if you want that authentic feel. If you don't like the Ball Stick, I suggest swapping out for a Teardrop Stick.
@@Superbed2 No, it's just how it is. The sphere spins, that's why reviewers advice to just hold the stick in the middle of the hand, meaning between middle finger and ring finger.
when using the switch put it into the controller mode if you have the old skin on it. it has a gamepad as a logo so around the middle and the stick should shine red on the indicator
Nah, Its just a shit monitor. My camera was above and pointed at an angle which makes it look worse than it is. Its a monitor you have to be directly in front of for the colors, brightness etc to be correct looking.
Does this stick works well with Street fighter 15 anniversary game? Mine doesn't, I switched to the 8 gate that came with the stick, but somehow the fight stick doesn't respond well or lag. Jumping is not responsive, jumping while pushing punch or kicks doesn't respond, usually you end up landing without any punch or kick, so combo is almost impossible to execute. Not sure what else can I make the stick more responsive? Firmware? parts? I am on Xbox360. I had a SNES setup that was like the real arcade back in the days.
I just purchased one and am still waiting on it. I have 2 questions. What gate does it come with, square or octagon? Also where can I get a premade street fighter, samurai showdown, or DBZ skin for this? I do not own a computer so I can't order/make a custom one.
you can try out decal girl website since they have a section for decal customization for this arcade stick but they are a bit pricey compared to focus attack
I have this stick and I wanna know if you or any had the same issue I did: the stick will desynch from my ps4 if i don't touch it for like a second or set it down to go to the bathroom or something. It's not a major issue, just hit the ps button and you're back on, but it is annoying and i always worry about it doing that in the middle of a session, though admittedly that's never happened. Anyone else have this problem?
The regular f500 is worth it. The elite only costs more than simply getting the sanwa parts yourself but if you don't want to go through the hassle of moding then the elite can save you the trouble at an extra cost.
Yes, with the brook wingman. Make sure you have it set on Arcade Stick mode if you plan on playing fighting games with it, otherwise the button mapping won’t be correct.
Hi I bought the Mayflash F300 Elite on Sept. 2 and they tell it will arive till Oct. 1. Can u please help me? I really wanna get a cool artwork for my F300 Elite with a button layout on it just like on yours. I searched on the net. Sadly I couldn't find anything just the one u linked but that's for the F500. But I really want a cool artwork on my F300 Elite. An Ultra Street Fighter IV would look nice on it but I heard u cannot use any because there are artworks that are copyrighted and using them would be illegal. And that's what I wanna avoid. So if u download a cool but legal template for me and print the button layout on it... Well it would really nice from u and it would be highly appreciated. Unfortunately I can't handle the Photoshop at all that's why I ask it from u. So please help me brother. Thx in advance if u do.
hey as long as you have the right photo to convert I can do it for you onto photoshop and give you the files for you to buy it on focus attack it is pretty easy for me to do
It's a nice-looking stick, for sure. But the only game that I have that I could see myself using it for (an import game called "Kamen Rider Climax Scramble Zi-O") makes use of the D-pad buttons and right JoyCon's stick as well as all face and shoulder buttons, so unfortunately this would just be a nice trinket sitting on the shelf to look pretty. I also have zero idea what you mean by "Sanwa" buttons or why that matters - would you care to enlighten me?
Sanwa is the brand of the parts, that is, of the buttons and stick. It's a Japanese brand used in actual arcades which requires very light pressure to activate the buttons. The buttons are also not "clicky" like you might see with happ (American) microswitch buttons. Sanwa controls are favored by competitive fighting game players.
I kind of understand now. I rarely play fighting games (not really my shtick; I prefer action/platformers or Metroidvanias) so I guess that's a distinction I never really have to worry about in controllers. Thanks for the info.
@@KamenRiderGumo well, it's kinda important for those too, pressing a "clicky" button with a strong spring, over and over, can make your hand/fingers tired.
I guess that's a fair point. Not really an issue I've ever had but I I can see how it could be a problem for others. I happen to like a nice, solid "click" from my buttons so I probably just got used to the extra muscle strain without realizing it.
Thanks for discussing this with me without insulting me - you wouldn't believe how many "hardcore" gamers mock me because I don't play fighting games, etc. Also, meant to say this before, but I'm digging the ALF reference.

I boomed and thumbs up the video :D I see that your into the new fighting game too 0/ I heard max talk about the game’s balancing :) He was disappointing about it :0 I like harder core Mechanics :3
Just got mine today and the plexi doesnt move. The "art" is indeed ass and I'll be changing it.
Are there any other high quality wireless options for an arcade stick for the Xbox One that anyone can recommend?
Not a Xbox gamer, but anything Hori or Qanba is going to be high quality. Generally Sanwa parts are considered "the best" and anything with Sanwa should be half decent. I seen a lot of professional players playing Qanba, but I've never looked for a Xbox stick, so I hope that information is relevant to you
Dumb newbie question, are there any of these arcade sticks that include a trackball, or an option to easily add one?
no, there are not, modding one would be a real challenge.
does this stick come with a Octagonal gate? i saw when you had it open it look like it had it but when when you read the description on amazon it says 4-way joystick
I bought the stick it doesn't come with one got to buy one which is only 8-10 bucks and very easy to install
Hi, I would like to buy one of these for playing shmups but I'v read the same, please can you explain me the difference betweem a 4 way and a 8 way and how it will come with?
@@marcoarcadesuperplays 4 way is Up,Down , Left Right. Which is in the shape of a diamond. 8 way is up, down, left, right then you have your diagonal inputs which are up left, down left,down right and up right. Which is in the shape of a octogon.
So to play games like Pacman for example you would have to switch the plastic gate form 8 way to 4 way because pacman doesn't require you to use 8 different directions. It would actually hurt you more then it would help u. Now i bought my mother F500 elite for pacman and other arcade games. The elite comes with an 8 way to 4 way gate and you can switch the gate you need to push down on it then turn the two plastic pieces sticking up. Once you have done that it will now be the diamond shape which restricts u from do the other directional inputs.
@@justinsoileau8392 thank you very much for reply
Review the Apex TV!
So the front panel isnt a mic and headphone jack its actally a headphone jack and a vibration wrist strap jack. Its like $12 bucks and while it doesnt work on all games its fun for the kids. Im tempted to reverse the plug and make a wannabe single shock rumble foght stick ol
What is the difference between the f300 elite and the f500 elite models?
Basically the size from what I can tell. The F300 is the same size as the 8bitdo I showed in this video.
Could you please share your artwork psd?
Hello. Can you please share a link with the Samurai Shodown template? I want to use it on my Mayflash F500 Elite
I'll see if I still have it, but it was something I formatted and put together to have printed, not sure If I still have the image file or not but I'll look.
@@Madlittlepixel Thank you so much. I was trying to find that wallpaper online but no luck plus Im pretty much a photoshop noob😔😔😢 Im located in South Korea and Im trying to customize this unit since is quite affordable in this country compared to other brands.
Would this work with a Rasberry Pi if you connect it via USB?
I have it. Just got the magic boots. Plexi never moves on me.
What about touch pad and L3 R3’s?
Ummmmmm I’m gonna need that art work
I want a stick just for the neo geo mini. Classic 4 button layout.
Great review, I might consider this. How well does it perform with a raspberry Pi or Ordoid XU4 emulation ?
Works just fine on the Pi using recalbox or retropie. Havent used it on the odroid xu4, but it will be just the same. Havent had any issues using for emulation~
@@Madlittlepixel Awesome dude, I will take a look, thanks again for your awesome videos. Always a pleasure watching these, peace out from London !
No issues with plexi for me
So with the magic boot attached for Xbox One, do you still need to plug in the built in USB cable to the console?
Yes. This does not have wireless capabilities. It requires the use of a controller attached for those systems in order for it to work since its not completely built in. The magicboot just makes it so you dont have to have a controller attached to the stick.
@@Madlittlepixel hello how do you connect the mayflash f500 to the switch? Do you need a magic boot (switch version) adapter? Because when I just plug into the dock ordinarily, it isn't recognized at all. I really want to use it for my switch but I just can't seem to sync it up.
@@Justaguy2785 yes sadly you need a magic boot for the switch or have a usb procontroller in order to have it function
My brother gave me an arcade stick but i gave it back because according to me the stick was not firm, the sphere specifically.
I just got the mayflash f500. And to my surprise it happens the same. It has been ages since I've played with cabinets in malls but i really don't remember that the ball moves. Meaning the red sphere is not firm with the stick but rotate in the stick, i tried to play pacman, pretty because i have to grab the sphere in a way that it does not move. Is this normal? It's getting on my nerves, can it be adjusted or is just like that in any stick, the sphere rotates freely on the stick?. :/
You know you can purchase new sticks, right? Kind of rude all things considered. Most Fight Sticks, unless stated otherwise, don't come with high-end parts and will need replacing if you want that authentic feel. If you don't like the Ball Stick, I suggest swapping out for a Teardrop Stick.
Open it, hold the stick and just spin it until it stops spinning
@@Superbed2 No, it's just how it is. The sphere spins, that's why reviewers advice to just hold the stick in the middle of the hand, meaning between middle finger and ring finger.
@@TamizPerdiz oh well I tightened mine maybe because its the f500v2
What was the name of that First game you started playing again? I remember playing it in the arcade but can't remember...
does it work for a retropie
What is the point of buying this controller without being able to play wired?
When using with Switch, which setting does that arcade stick need to be in?
when using the switch put it into the controller mode if you have the old skin on it.
it has a gamepad as a logo so around the middle and the stick should shine red on the indicator
@@faizromani6483 no you don't, it's the top switch, I think it says x-input. Same as the F-300
My plexi glass doesn’t move at all
Are the stock buttons clicky or mushy? Is the stock stick clicky? Thanks.
your apex monitor looks like the brightness is wrong with it!
Nah, Its just a shit monitor. My camera was above and pointed at an angle which makes it look worse than it is. Its a monitor you have to be directly in front of for the colors, brightness etc to be correct looking.
Does this stick works well with Street fighter 15 anniversary game? Mine doesn't, I switched to the 8 gate that came with the stick, but somehow the fight stick doesn't respond well or lag. Jumping is not responsive, jumping while pushing punch or kicks doesn't respond, usually you end up landing without any punch or kick, so combo is almost impossible to execute. Not sure what else can I make the stick more responsive? Firmware? parts? I am on Xbox360. I had a SNES setup that was like the real arcade back in the days.
They don’t sell the xbox one magicboot that you recommended anymore. Is there something else that will work? ~thanks
Any issues with the Ps4 Magic Boot? I’m seeing that for some people it Locks the controller after a few minutes. Has anyone been having that issue ?
I just purchased one and am still waiting on it. I have 2 questions. What gate does it come with, square or octagon? Also where can I get a premade street fighter, samurai showdown, or DBZ skin for this? I do not own a computer so I can't order/make a custom one.
It comes with both. For being so price tight sure it does cover the essentials, it's the land rover of arcade sticks.
you can try out decal girl website since they have a section for decal customization for this arcade stick but they are a bit pricey compared to focus attack
Samsho is great
Dude u spend a lot time on ur samurai showdown design.
Comon men
The 8bitdo stick looks more like the F300 than the F500.
that's because it is the f300
will it work on the PlayStation Classic Mini using the 8bitdo wireless adaptor
Doesn't have Bluetooth. Most arcade sticks aren't wireless to reduce lag.
Did you not put a ps1 dongle in it making it thing it was a wireless ps4 controller @@Clos93
meant ps4 dongle
Tried it last night and it was a no go.
Thanks @@CarlosPerez-wt8ff
Every time maddpixle says take a look in a second - pour a shot
Can you install a myoungshin joy stick to this f500?
I have this stick and I wanna know if you or any had the same issue I did: the stick will desynch from my ps4 if i don't touch it for like a second or set it down to go to the bathroom or something. It's not a major issue, just hit the ps button and you're back on, but it is annoying and i always worry about it doing that in the middle of a session, though admittedly that's never happened. Anyone else have this problem?
That never happens to me. The only time I ever saw that happen was when I used a third party PS4 controller instead of a normal Dualshock 4.
@@itraynell So yours will desynch with third party? See mine will do it AND I only have DS4 controllers
I’m a casual fighting game guy is the f500 and f300 good to start out with?
The regular f500 is worth it. The elite only costs more than simply getting the sanwa parts yourself but if you don't want to go through the hassle of moding then the elite can save you the trouble at an extra cost.
I'm going to buy 2 of these just for the parts for an arcade1up conversion to a killer instinct trilogy cabinet
do you have to install the sanwa buttons yourself or are they already inside?
On the elite they are inside
@@Lostery thanks already got it and i love it
G’day where do I get the graphics template from please
is the stick 8 way gate?
is it working for mister fpga? thank you!
Does it work with mayflash f300?
Does it work on DREAMCAST I need to know before buying?????
It works for Dreamcast with the brook wingman SD. I'm about to purchase it myself.
Yes, with the brook wingman. Make sure you have it set on Arcade Stick mode if you plan on playing fighting games with it, otherwise the button mapping won’t be correct.
Does anyone know if this works for ps5?
Will this work with a gamestick lite?
It should, you would just need to do the button configurations within the front end.
Will work with Mame32 emulator on PC with Windows 10?
Yes
Can you change the lever?
Yes
can this do bluetooth too?
No
Does this work on the mini Playstation Classic if plugged into the USB? If not, is there one you'd recommend?
It works on swich lite?
If you plan to use it output tv I don’t think so. Arcade stick hmmm 🤔
Since these are Sanwa parts, can you rotate the gate on the stick from 8 way to 4 way?
That's a great way to break a Sanwa gate. Don't do it, buy a Seimitsu instead.
@@Kiki-lc3ng What would be the difference to make it better?
Hi
I bought the Mayflash F300 Elite on Sept. 2 and they tell it will arive till Oct. 1. Can u please help me? I really wanna get a cool artwork for my F300 Elite with a button layout on it just like on yours. I searched on the net. Sadly I couldn't find anything just the one u linked but that's for the F500. But I really want a cool artwork on my F300 Elite. An Ultra Street Fighter IV would look nice on it but I heard u cannot use any because there are artworks that are copyrighted and using them would be illegal. And that's what I wanna avoid. So if u download a cool but legal template for me and print the button layout on it... Well it would really nice from u and it would be highly appreciated. Unfortunately I can't handle the Photoshop at all that's why I ask it from u. So please help me brother. Thx in advance if u do.
hey as long as you have the right photo to convert I can do it for you onto photoshop and give you the files for you to buy it on focus attack it is pretty easy for me to do
@@faizromani6483 Thx pal. Very nice from u. Wait under photo U mean a screenshot? Anyway I'm at work currently but I'll send U a pic.
@@faizromani6483 OK, send me an E-Mail address where i can send u some pick. Thx in advance for your help.
Will it be compatible with ps5 ?
Nobody knows. That depends on if the ps5 will allow you to use a PS4 controller with it (which is most likely not the case.)
@@itraynell they wrote ps4 controllers will be compatible on ps5.
@@saporob Yeah I know now
Please gift it to me ❤😂😊
It's a nice-looking stick, for sure. But the only game that I have that I could see myself using it for (an import game called "Kamen Rider Climax Scramble Zi-O") makes use of the D-pad buttons and right JoyCon's stick as well as all face and shoulder buttons, so unfortunately this would just be a nice trinket sitting on the shelf to look pretty. I also have zero idea what you mean by "Sanwa" buttons or why that matters - would you care to enlighten me?
Sanwa is the brand of the parts, that is, of the buttons and stick. It's a Japanese brand used in actual arcades which requires very light pressure to activate the buttons. The buttons are also not "clicky" like you might see with happ (American) microswitch buttons. Sanwa controls are favored by competitive fighting game players.
I kind of understand now. I rarely play fighting games (not really my shtick; I prefer action/platformers or Metroidvanias) so I guess that's a distinction I never really have to worry about in controllers. Thanks for the info.
@@KamenRiderGumo well, it's kinda important for those too, pressing a "clicky" button with a strong spring, over and over, can make your hand/fingers tired.
I guess that's a fair point. Not really an issue I've ever had but I I can see how it could be a problem for others. I happen to like a nice, solid "click" from my buttons so I probably just got used to the extra muscle strain without realizing it.
Thanks for discussing this with me without insulting me - you wouldn't believe how many "hardcore" gamers mock me because I don't play fighting games, etc. Also, meant to say this before, but I'm digging the ALF reference.
