MAYFLASH Arcade Fighting Stick F101 for Switch/Switch 2, PC Windows, PS3, Android, NeoGeo mini, SEGA MEGA Drive mini, GENESIS mini

This is my first arcade stick and so I didn't want to invest too much. After a bit of research I found the Mayflash F101. This is a fantastic stick for the price. Sure the buttons and stick aren't as premium as a $100+ stick, but what do you expect. However, the quality is absolutely fine for anyone starting out on the journey. There are lots of upgrade and modding options, so with a little bit extra the short falls could be greatly improved. As for now, this stick is absolutely what I was looking for. They even provide you with both a square and an octagonal gate which was much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend this fine budget arcade stick.

Bought this for £44.99. I'm using this on Retropie Raspberry PIE 3.0. The buttons and stick and everything else seems good and I am happy with the quality. Gave it a good test the weekend gone with silkworm 1942 bubble bobble and double dragon and am very pleased with it. One thing I did notice - I opened a rom with IMame4All - and I noticed it didn't recognize the joystick movements - I tried this version of mame on other roms and it was still no good but it did recognise the keypad controller. I think its Mame-liberto or something like that I am using to run mame roms and that does work no problem with the stick. All in all a good stick - so much better than keypads

Only works on certain games

While relatively light, the joystick doesn't click overly loud and the buttons seem sturdy enough for a while. Comes with a usb to usb-c adaptor and has a toggle switch for xjnput/dinput, meaning it has universal use so long as usb sockets are available. Excellent piece of kit. Would recommend for amatuer/starter arcade use.

Own a few sticks but needed something a bit more portable that didn't break the bank, thought about the F300 and the 500 but thought for the price I'd give this ago seeing as I have a lot of spare sticks / gates and buttons from previous modding. Easy to take apart as all mayflash ones are, put in a Sanwa stick with a large kowal actuator and a 2lb spring followed by a Sanwa mesh ball top and set of Sanwa silent buttons then finished off by removing the plastic front sheet and putting on a carbon fibre one. Job done ! might add a bit more weight inside the base for stability (my personal choice) and a sheet of adhesive neoprene on the base for that non slip added extra. For a few extra £'s you can make this a nice little stick.

I am genuinely impressed with how this stick feels. In terms of similarly priced sticks, this one's miles ahead of the Hori Mini on ergonomics, weights, button and stick feel. Comparing it to the more expensive 8bit do arcade stick, the stick on the F101 feels more crisp, with quicker inputs. While the 8bit do had the software and wireless advantage, the F101's seems like a better package, given its price.

I bought one of these for emulation gaming didn't want anything overkill. The stick has a long travel but responsive but you may want to upgrade to sanwa or clone. The buttons are not quite sanwa standard but close. Plugged it in to my laptop with batocera and picked it up straight away so no worries there. All in all it's a good stick for casual gaming and really easy to mod 👍

I bought this arcade stick to play street fighter and it performs great. The sound of the joystick is satisfying and it moves smoothly.

A great arcade stick that works with almost everything. I almost bought the Hori Switch-exclusive fight stick mini, but I'm so glad I picked this one instead! It works with PC (so I can use it for my Steam fighting game library), and Playstation and Android (both of which I'll never use) along with Nintendo Switch! I imagine it will work with XBOX also even though it isn't mentioned since it works with Xinput. Yes, the button labels can be a little confusing because they're meant to be "universal" and Nintendo swaps the B and A, X and Y order... but everyone knows that, right? The only thing you have to remember is that the buttons are pretty much where you expect them to be when playing on your platform of choice! The stick and buttons feel arcade style (and better than the sticks that came with, say, an original NEO GEO AES and about the same as the venerable Dreamcast stick) and seem rugged. It also has nice quality of life features like anti-skid pads if you put it on a table/desk a size that's "just right" for lap use, but still not enormous, plus a velcro strip built into the cord for easy storage. All for only $40!

Can injure your hands after long sessions of playing, to be exact first dorsal interosseous muscle, and when you lean your wrist on it, the problems to point out are the height of the unit and the joystick itself, also there’s a big gap between the joystick and the microswitches which can cause a huge delay for the movements, also there’s not enough space on the left side of the joystick which make using it very very uncomfortable because you can’t fully rest your other fingers while holding the stick, I consider them both the unit and the joystick are bad quality, and I would highly NOT recommend

Me ha sorprendido la calidad y el acabado. Buenas sensaciones para el precio que tiene. Es el primer mando de este tipo que compro y lo noto preciso en los botones y la palanca. De hecho venía con una pieza para reemplazar bajo la palanca y ahora es más preciso incluso. Permite reemplazar las piezas por otras de mayor calidad. De momento no las cambiaré. En la mesa es muy estable. Está hecho en plástico, pero la base es de metal. No se mueve nada.

This stick works great. I am trying it on my PC and works great. One thing makes annoyed is that there input type, etc is complicated and there is no clear manual about it. Games download from Steam has also different input style, so I guess part of it is because of that, but still complicated to have working input

Probabilmente è l'arcade stick entry level con il migliore rapporto qualità/prezzo, attualmente. Di dimensioni più che idonee anche per chi ha le mani grandi, solido e stabile, precisissimi e senza lag i comandi dello stick e dei pulsanti. Testato fino ad ora con Windows 11, Windows 7 e Android 7.0 (su Nvidia Shield Tablet K1) senza riscontrare nessun problema di compatibilità alcuno. Viene fornito in bundle con restrittore ottagonale e cavo adattatore OTG USB-C. Il firmware è aggiornabile, alla pagina web del produttore si trova comodamente tutto il necessario. La feature di essere compatibile plug & play con i componenti Sanwa lo rende ulteriormente interessante, sostituendo i pulsanti (che non restituiscono effettivamente una buona sensazione alla pressione, ma che comunque sono estremamente precisi e sensibili) lo si trasforma di fatto in un prodotto di fascia superiore. Non vi è ragione invece di sostituire lo stick se non in caso di rottura, dato che quello originale fornisce prestazioni e feeling pressoché identici a quelli del suo ricambio Sanwa.
