Briar you're a lifesaver! I'm in the market for my first fight stick for the new MK1 coming out in September! I mostly game on PC these days but some of my time is on switch as well! I was looking at the Xbox version of these sticks but based off your recommendations you may have saved me 40 dollars and gave me a stick for multiple consoles! Great review!

I’ve got a lot of arcade sticks but these days I don’t care about a little delay from wireless. And I love sitting on the couch 10 feet away from the big tv in the living room. So I went ahead and ordered one of these last night. I wish I found your review first. Just because I got a black one and the white one you have looks so nice. Not being able to put my modded JLF in right away is a bummer.

@jokkon13 11 ай бұрын

Amazing review - lots of subtle differences and not just switch version vs xbox version.... For the extra 40 dollars - would have appreciated if they made this new one also BT compatible - that would make this the ultimate entry level stick.

after reviewing everything i could find online i ended up going for the monoprice dark matter fight stick. It came with Sanwa joystick and buttons so no need to upgrade plus it has a plexiglass top and you can put you own custom artwork on the top. only thing is its wired which os fine with me but wireless is convenient.

@LeoA2600 11 ай бұрын

Great review. Trying to find an excuse to get this. I wasn't fond of the previous USB-C charge port location. Was difficult to unplug the cable without pulling on the cable itself, even with the extended length connector on the supplied 8BitDo charge cable. I do love the versatility of the previous stick although it recently let me down in that area for the first time. I hooked up Hyperkin's Retron 77 with the community firmware update installed that transforms it into a great HD Atari 2600 with the latest version of the Stella emulator, connected an OTG cable to the USB power port, and plugged in the 8BitDo receiver into the OTG cable. It didn't work since apparently the stick doesn't do Dinput and is Xinput only (The version of Linux that Hyperkin is using is so old that it lacks Xinput support). Thankfully the Mayflash F500 Elite does do Dinput, but now I'm of course tethered to the system.

@BriarRabbit 11 ай бұрын

Yeah, I I do think the new charging port position offers a lot of big benefits. Good to hear success with F500 elite

@ciscorey6520 11 ай бұрын

I found that the lack of hand rest space is my biggest issue with these. Also, I'm not a big fan of the L-shaped quick disconnects inside. It's really easy to mistakenly think you slid the connector on all the way with how the plastic protectors loosely wrap the disconnects. Thirdly, these aren't great for anyone who likes custom art, as there really isn't a panel to be customized-I wouldn't risk trying to remove the plexi-like layer that rests under the buttons either. Lastly, wire management was a bit messy when I opened mine up. For the price, it's honestly not a terrible buy. I enjoy having the 8BitDo stick as part of my collection-it's an aesthetically nice design to look at. But yeah, for the gamer willing to spend extra on a more performant solution, find a Hori Kai (preferably one that already has Sanwa parts equipped) and buy a Brook UFB. It'll go a longer way.

@ninetendopesaitama2107 11 ай бұрын

Also using the switch version of this stick and it's the best value for your money you can get. I'm getting the Xbox version too. The build quality is superior to the may flash sticks and the materials used feel top notch. ☮️

@LeoA2600 11 ай бұрын

I have the Mayflash F500 Elite with Sanwa buttons and stick and the 8BitDo arcade stick for the Switch that is shown a bit for comparisons sake in this review. I don't feel let down at all about the Mayflash. I can't speak for the F300 in either form or the standard F500, but the F500 Elite genuinely feels like a quality item. I'm sure something like a high end Hori with Sanwa parts and such will feel even better, but this doesn't feel like how I'd expect a Mayflash controller to feel.

@dirkboon3296 11 ай бұрын

I just got this, it's great.. found the stock buttons average, so put some Seimitsu in to correct that. Have a Seimitsu LS56 lever arriving shortly too, once that's fitted the stick will be perfect.

@davieslm 11 ай бұрын

Excellent video.l and great comparison. I have two of the Switch versions and upgraded stick and buttons with Sanwa parts. Its a shame that the stick replacement is not plug and play. Can you just replace the stock restrictor gate with a Sanwa 8-way? I have Retroarch installed in Developer mode on the XSX and I am assuming that this upgraded stick will now be compatible?

@AssistantProfessor 11 ай бұрын

Thank you, Briar, l loved the review. If I understood correctly, when the ‘gamepad’ mode is turned on you should be able to play any game, any genre. This is because the Xbox then sees the stick as a regular controller. Do test and correct me if I am wrong. I just subscribed and I am looking forward to your review of Daija :)

With the price difference on these, get the Switch version and one of those mayflash dongles that makes it work for Xbox, then you got the best of everything. I have 4 of the Switch ones and four adapters and it works flawlessly on Xbox One / Series.

I can navigate through the menu just fine but when i select a game like mega man or huntdown or mighty goose the buttons dont work at all. Only the home button works. What am i missing here? Is there a setting on the xbox that i need to turn on or off or does this stick really only work on fighting games? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
