Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • I was going to eventually buy a pro controller for Smash, but the this popped up at such a great price I figure it would possibly be better for me,
  • While it is "just" a re-badged Mayflash F Series, it's a wonderful fight stick for a very fair price...and at the price I got these for plus the mod
  • I will eventually be modifying the stick to have better buttons and stick, but considering the price point of this stick and the relative ease of modification, I still feel like I got a good deal and am satisfied with my purchase
  • The only issue I had was not getting it to connect until I did a firmware update, but besides that this stick is perfect at an amazing price.
  • know if I ever would have gotten into arcade sticks if this hadn’t popped up at such a good price (40$)

Reviews around fight (5.00 of 5)

  • Great little fight sticks, using them with my Raspberry PI 3 B and Retropie
  • I kind of wish the keys were concave, so glad this is also an easy intro to modding fight sticks as well
  • While it is "just" a re-badged Mayflash F Series, it's a wonderful fight stick for a very fair price...and at the price I got these for plus the mod
  • This is an excellent fight stick, especially after upgrading to genuine Sanwa parts!

Reviews around good (5.00 of 5)

  • I replaced all of the buttons as well, and they comparatively easy to replace.
  • I then took the extra step to secure and protect those connections with insulated butt end terminal connectors... but electrical tape could suffice as well
  • I also use it on my NVidia shield with MAME and it works there as well.

Reviews around deal (5.00 of 5)

  • I'm actually happy with it, but it's not as great as it could have been.
  • Overall a dongle free wireless arcade stick that works with my phone, laptop, SNES Classic, and Switch for under $60 feels like a dang good deal
  • I will eventually be modifying the stick to have better buttons and stick, but considering the price point of this stick and the relative ease of modification, I still feel like I got a good deal and am satisfied with my purchase

Reviews around tool (5.00 of 5)

  • If you want to use this joystick for Windows, I suggest you use some tool like JoyToKey.
  • An easy job with the right tools.
  • This was surprisingly easy and only involved stripping the wire tips and crimping the terminals using needle nose pliers, (a proper tool would make this task even easier).After wiring the new joystick up and installing the four mounting screws, I had a wonderful new arcade stick with smooth and responsive controls

Reviews around bluetooth (5.00 of 5)

  • This arcade stick wasn’t going to take much to impress me: average handling and relatively easy Bluetooth pairing,
  • Buttons aren't bad, bluetooth works great.
  • Excellent Bluetooth

Reviews around arcade (4.49 of 5)

  • I compared the button layout to more expensive arcade sticks, most of the others are made from a cheap kit that I could buy myself and assemble
  • Not all snes games are good for an arcade stick, like Metroid, but a lot of the games seem to be made for play with this
  • This became a very good bluetooth wireless arcade stick after I upgraded the joystick and buttons.
  • Not knowing what a good arcade stick should feel like, I thought the stock parts were good enough
  • This was surprisingly easy and only involved stripping the wire tips and crimping the terminals using needle nose pliers, (a proper tool would make this task even easier).After wiring the new joystick up and installing the four mounting screws, I had a wonderful new arcade stick with smooth and responsive controls

Reviews around quality (4.45 of 5)

  • The build quality is phenomenal, and the NES theme is one of the nicest I've seen on an arcade stick
  • At $60, this fightstick is amazing quality for the price
  • For kids, they probably won't notice the very loose stick and poor quality buttons
  • So glad I did!More experienced stick players of course know best, but as a beginner the quality of the joystick and buttons feel awesome
  • The quality of the joystick and buttons is extremely solid as well

Reviews around wire (3.86 of 5)

  • The wires are fine when soldered directly to the microswitches but when using quick release connectors, which you will need to connect the seimitsu, you will find the wires going to the microswitch farthest from the control board are too short.
  • I didn't bother with any soldering--I simply twisted the appropriate wires together and applied heat shrink tubing, and so far I haven't had any issues
  • Stick and buttons are not the best but for normal play it works great wireless or wired
  • I didn't bother with any soldering--I simply twisted the appropriate wires together and applied heat shrink tubing, and so far I haven't had any issues

Reviews around item (3.61 of 5)

  • I like this item
  • I sent a request for a replacement because it was clearly a defective item, so I thought I would see how that turned out
  • So good item
  • I still recommend this item, but just be aware that replacing the joystick is a mildly destructive process.

Reviews around joystick (3.37 of 5)

  • Near Perfect in every way if you want a FANTASTIC Pro joystick for your PC or Switch that won't break the bank
  • Absolutely one of the worst joysticks I've ever used
  • The Sanwa joystick is the biggest improvement though, much better than the stock joystick
  • I'm planning to swap in Seimitsu LS-32 joysticks, Sanwa buttons and custom artwork!!Easy to sync, easy to mod, easy to take along.
  • The joystick, however, was a bit more annoying
