MAYFLASH XBOX 360 / PS3 / PC Arcade Fighting Stick V2 Compatible with Sanwa Parts out of the box 69$

Anything with 40mm spacing will work (i.e. JLF flat plate, Seimitsu MS plates, Seimitsu SE plates, etc.). This of course would extend to any lever designed to replace a JLF, so yes.

Thanks for the confirmation @deserada‌…looking to make this my portable stick for Tekken

Did anyone make a photoshop template file for this joystick yet? I just ordered mine from amazon over the weekend.

guys i need a new arcade stick with a little modding for my pc

I got some questions with this mayflash v2 it’s a good arcade stick and worth it to buy 60 bucks is a very interesting price :slight_smile: ?

how it work the pcb chipset with the games it have a good response? cuz i have a Zero Delay Arcade USB Encoder i think work nice with the games.

it’s possible to change the image in the acrylic top panel?

and what would you recommend me for buying in your experience , this mayflash v2 or quamba q1?

Some of this is answered in this thread. However i will try to answer some of these for you.

1.Yes the image can be changed

2.For pc it seems to work fine. However as for responce time delay i am not shore especially in comparison to the aero dealy pcb.

3.For 60$ there is not much competition the quanda has knock off qanba parts this also has knockoff chinese parts both seem to get job done till can affod to chane em out.

4.Quanba Q1 has known pcb failure issues such as flat out dying the mayflash v2 is new this is yet to be seen as of yet. As for its input lag on pc it seems to be very minimal.

As for which is better for 60$ that is up to you my friend but i would go with the mayflash v2 myself.

I just noticed that this was previously announced before:

http://www.gametech.co.jp/preorder/inazuma/

probably due to copyrightetc even on the company page it doesn’t blatantly advertise Xbox360 support, even though it also does have X-input (apparently for for “PC” use). Anyways, same stick, different overlay art details. start button is yellow.

nothing new, just amused by the differences. A lot of Gametech’s stuff is rebranded to Mayflash over here.

What does the armband do?

It has a small rumble motor inside, and will activate in place of the rumble motor in a standard controller. Definitely a gimmick, but interesting nonetheless (especially because there was never such an application of rumble for arcade sticks before this, to my knowledge). I used mine only to confirm that it works, and it does. Not many games intended for play on an arcade stick have rumble support, however.

Yes, the value is unprecedented.

I have not had any issues with input or delay, regardless of the platform; there is no need to change the PCB unless you want PS4/XBO support.

Changing the art is very simple as the top panel is held in magnetically, you only need to temporarily disconnect (not completely remove) the buttons to do so, and they are already on quick disconnects.

The stock hardware (buttons and lever) is more than sufficient, and I do not plan to change mine. Much better than stock Hori buttons.

There is no reason to pick the Qanba over this stick, or even more expensive models. For this value, there has literally never been better build quality available on the market.

Correct. There was even another thread regarding the Mayflash version, but it was long before they were made available on Amazon, or perhaps even made available in the West at all.

i was wondering about this, are you saying it has a clear blank ‘plexi’ on it ? or do you have to peel off the black overlay art? also magnets, interesting.

There were sticks in the past for older systems, PS1/2, Dreamcast, N64 for example that had rumble support, but the ruble has been more of a gimmick, a novelty over anything that worth having.

I assume it peels off cleanly like you would expect from any vinyl decal/wrap or the like, but I have not tested this. It might be best to have @MonkeyGovernor‌ or someone else who has theirs on hand weigh in on the subject.

Yeah, there has been integrated rumble before (simply inserting a rumble pack into a Dreamcast stick, even), but I’ve never seen anything like a wrist strap (not that it’s impressive, but it is a more realistic way of delivering haptic feedback, if one so desired it).

The plexiglass that it comes with is not clear and has that black background / artwork on it. So probably best to just have a new piece cut if you can get a local shop to do it for you on the cheap.

That’s curious. The plexi is clear down until the artwork, which I took to mean that it is adhered to the bottom somehow. It could have been cast in the acrylic itself, along with the magnets, but that seems unnecessarily complicated and cost-ineffective. Are you sure it was impossible to remove when you took it out for scanning?

The art on mine just came right off. It’s a vinyl cling wrap on the back side of the plexi. Once you get an edge on it, just pull…

Got mine today…gonna switch out the buttons… And put in a Japanese mounted crown… But I dig the size and weight so far…now if someone would get a template up…that would be awesome.

Can you reuse the stock graphics after you peel it off of the panel?

How would this stick compare to current retail sticks after swapping in Sanwa parts? Are there any obvious short comings?

I haven’t owned a fightstick before and I was wondering what I would be missing out on by not just buying a Madcatz TE or something similar.

If the plexi is clear but the artwork glued to it, you could use a hair dryer to soften the glue and then peel the art off. While the glue is still soft you could then use a plastic edge like a credit card or sort to scrape it off without scratching it, hopefully.

@turtle @Moonchilde If it’s a run-of-the mill vinyl decal, it should just peel off cleanly and remain tacky; stick it to a plastic folder and you can most likely re-apply it later.

The only need for a heat gun is for very old/worn vinyl decals, and paper decals. I suppose you could use one, but would recommend against it for fear of warping the plexi.

@choo There’s nothing wrong with the stock parts on this one. If you get one, use it for a while, and then decide if you must have the “upgrade”. The build quality of their parts is no better or worse than factory Sanwa or Seimitsu; they might feel a little different if you’ve never used anything but OBSFs (and one should ideally sample all hardware, if nothing else for the sake of being more adaptable to loaner sticks). As it stands, there is no reason to spend ~$40 on new parts (and kill the value of the deal), especially if you haven’t used the stock ones before.

There’s nothing to miss out on, unless of course you expect PS4 or XBO support, and there is nothing to compete at this price for that spec (hardly even at $100 more, not to mention that this board is PS3/PC/360 compatible out of the box).

As a first stick, this is the perfect option. Everyone I know who does not own a stick cites the threshold price to own one as the barrier keeping them out, and once again that threshold is relaxed. $60 is the price of a new game. There’s no way for me to convey the confidence you’ll feel from the weight and the finish of this stick; you will just have to see it for yourself.

Well said @deserada‌
