As a Canuckian I was a little shocked at current-gen arcade stick prices. But my now ancient Madcatz TE decided it didn't like pushing left anymore, and when I opened it up expecting it to be friendly to fix everything was expoxy'd! Red, no less. Not a ton of choice for me.
Pros:
-works on everything
-Sanwa parts, super easy to mod and self-repair
-If you're used to cheaper sticks you will never have DP'd this easily before
-sturdy, solid weight, suitable for tabletop or lap use
-comes with an octogate in the box
-still getting firmware updates, most recently a new one to reduce latency
Cons:
-It's pretty ugly. I'm going to put some decent art in there but it's still just a big, boring, grey block
-Expensive. If you already have a stick you can mod you may be better off getting buttons/paddle elsewhere and keeping what you have as a base
-A little clunky setting up for consoles even if it is quite a clever way of working around licensing
-comes with an octogate in the box (you heathens). It is not, however, a Sanwa gate. The stock square gate is.
After evaluating this and the HFSA, being a bit of an idort I opted for this. While the old TE had Sanwa buttons, it was a clone stick. Now that I have a real one it's just so much better. Tested on PC (GGST, MvC3, old arcade games) and Xbox SeX (Killer Instinct) and both worked fine so I'd expect similarly for the rest of the console crew.

This is a professional joystick folks! Everything about it shouts quality. Tested on Nintendo Switch and PC. Buttons were a bit confusing to me at first when navigating the Switch menus in game, but that's on me. Sturdy, made with genuine Sanwa buttons and joystick.
Perfect for Beginners or Professionals, Excellent Quality, Worth the Cost.

I bought it intending it as a replacement for my F300 which I no longer want in my possession as I’m going to sell it. I was happy I did purchase this beast. I intend to use this arcade stick with my PC (to play those awesome Touhou fighters as well as other Doujin fighters and MUGEN being the big fan of 2D fighting games that I am, I will also use it for emulation and MisterFPGA if I ever get one) and older game systems (like my PS2 or PS1 via Brook Super Converter or SNES), sometimes my newer ones (for the time being) until I get a fighting stick alpha for my PS5 or Series X once I get them. The build quality on this is fantastic! Definitely sturdy. The parts it came with are high quality obviously because they were provided by Sanwa giving it the F500 Elite name. Elite indeed. What sucks about it though is the artwork it came with is pretty bland (you can replace it if you’re so inclined to, I plan to do so with mine), if you’re gonna use it on a console other than the PS3 or Switch, you’re gonna have to connect a controller for said system like the Xbox 360 or PS4, be prepared to plug in its controller to the USB port in order to get it working which kinda sucks if you ask me. There might be a workaround for it, I don’t know for certain. And the fact it doesn’t work with the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 Mini which is really disappointing (unless if there’s a workaround to use Mayflash arcade sticks on PC Engine mini). Other than those gripes I have with it, it is an all-round excellent arcade stick. I highly recommend it.
Like I said, I bought mine intending it for use with my computer and retro gaming. What will you use yours for?

Title says it all really. Great value arcade stick! Works fantastic with all my systems, Switch and Pc (without controllers and Xbox One X and Series X (with controllers). Honestly I had no problem having to connect controllers to it for some systems. But if that bothers you there are ways around this (but they will require extra money). Personally I don't feel the need to do so. Awesome quality Sanwa buttons and joystick. Has two metal plates inside so has a nice weight to it which is nice. Easy to customize the top faceplate. In my case I just brought a cheap poster from Kmart and removed the buttons/joystick/clear plastic top, then traced around the plastic top and cut out with hobby knife/sessors. Love having the ability to do that! THANK YOU Mayflash for a great unit!!AdamAwesome Arcade Stick! Great value! Easy Customization! Highly Recommended!!
