@@BootySweat4491 That's great man! No way, I'm on a weight loss journey myself so I understand when I look at old photos/videos. My goal is to drop 50 lbs. 😄Bootysweat! (just realized your tag name)
@@BootySweat4491good shit man, i lost bout 50 pounds myself. 2020 was def my bulkiest year, and i think for many other people too. This video is mad helpful regardless
Thanks for the video. Very helpful and answered all the questions I had. Thanks for being thorough and showing everything. You helped me decide to go with the F500 non elite and just upgrade it myself the way I want it. That WASD mod also looks cool, I could see that being fun use of the joystick with a bunch of different games.
Thanks once again for watching! Before anyone gets pissed, I reiterate, IF YOU DO NOT NEED THE NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS THEN DO NOT USE THEM. If you do choose to use them, then be EXTREMELY CAREFUL not to damage any parts. Anyway, like and subscribe for more fighting game content in the future. :))))
Dude thanks for this haha im literally planning the same set up with the f500 + Odin and although i kinda knew what i'd need to do its always helpful seeing someone else do it first lol
Finally got around to modding it, swapped out the buttons for some sanwa silents, but i was missing a 5 pin connector for the new joystick so im ordering that later. Now all i need is some custom art
Thing you'll need 1. Plyers 2. Screwdrivers 3. Sanwa Buttons 4. Modded WASD Keys 3. Bunch of Cigarettes :D (On a real though great video ! just the cigarettes made me chuckle :D)
Mine gets here tomorrow night and im very excited, i dont have any modding stuff yet but the first thing im gonna do is swap out the stock square gate for the octagonal one it comes with.
When I went to push the buttons out of the stick it caused the acrylic panel to crack. And it got worse as I went along. Not sure what I did wrong. Guess I’ll just need a new panel.
Is there anywhere in the mayflash that you know of where you can connect those led's or am i gonna have to do something more complicated to get it working lol
can you do a video on upgrading the pcb on this stick? i want to put a brooks pcb in mine to make it tournament usable but i have no idea where to even start
I accidentally damaged one of the wires that connects to the LB button and I want to buy another set of cables, do you know where I can buy them or what they’re called ? I’ve been having a hard time finding them with terminals on and all
I found a old f300 I bought a while back lol . Do you know if its moddable like this ? Also do you know if it works with series x ? Haven’t used it since like 2018
It's just personal preference. I first started playing SFV competitively on a keyboard and got used to the WASD inputs, but I also love how Sanwa buttons feel. So naturally putting them together works well for me. :)))
I was thinking about getting that exact same fight stick and replacing the stick and buttons with the exact same ones you did then I find this video. Weird.
Hey man I just bought a mayflash f500 v2 but I can't map it to neoragex. The arrow keys are not detected, the rest are detected. I already upgraded the firmware and I'm using windows 11. Which emulation software do you recommend me to use for this arcade stick? Thanks in advance
I’ve never used neoragex. The only two I’ve ever messed with are MAME for personal use, and FinalBurn Alpha which is the built in emulator that Fightcade uses. I haven’t had any issues mapping buttons with either of those software. Hopefully they’ll work for you.
Has anyone had any connection issues with this stick? My friend got this one and it works but then it just randomly disconnects while staying on. We've opened it and I tried adjusting the screws on each pcb because different tensions on the boards seemed to work for a bit then would go back to disconnecting. We've unplugged and replugged almost every wire but we can't tell if any boards or wires are bad. He would buy parts if he knew which ones were bad but he's at the point of just maybe buying a new different stick. No luck on forums I've found either. Any ideas?
He may have gotten a bad stick. I would report it to Mayflash and see if they will do anything to help out, like replace it maybe? I haven't heard this issue with this particular stick so it may just be a defective item.
@@BootySweat4491 thanks for the reply. Yeah there's not much I've seen online of anyone having that issue so you're probably right about getting a replacement.
Hello! I hope you are still active here and may be able to resolve our problem :3 My bf got himself the Mayflash F500 and even has the ODIN drop in but somehow it only reads the direction in reverse? We tried turning it around and pluggin it back in but it stopped working in general then! It's weird because the ODIN worked with his other sticks just not the Mayflash. Do you maybe have an idea to fix it?
Lol although I haven't uploaded in a minute I am still active yes. Honestly I am not 100% sure on the solution to the problem you are having, but it may have something to do with the type of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) that the stick in question utilizes. When you order the ODIN, they ask specifically what model of fightstick you are going to install it into. The reason they do this is that different sticks sometimes use different PCBs and they want to make sure they craft the ODIN to work with that stick in particular. Now, often sticks will use the same PCBs as others, which may explain why it works normally on some of them, but not on the one in question. It may be a simple problem of the pins on the PCB being in a different order than the one the ODIN was made for? Now, if the ODIN was made specifically for the F500 then it may be a manufacturing error, in which case the best course of action would be to contact the sellers on Etsy. I hope I could be of some help on your issue.
Is that so? If they're not that is really a shame, since they're the only ones that were making this sort of thing. Another option is the website AllFightSticks, on which you can build your own custom mixbox. It's definitely more pricey, but still much cheaper than buying an actual Mixbox Arcade brand one.
@@JetsetRM It´s a bit late for a response but the seller still has the base and buttons in stock since they are just 3D printed. If you dont mind splicing the cables in your stick or just buying a second set of 2 pin harnesses you can easily solder some key switches and drop them into the ODIN Baseplate.
@@JetsetRM Sick, just after writing the comment I actually found the waiting list application form as well and filled it out asap. Hope you're having fun with it!
Hey, awesome vid! Just got yourself a subscriber! I was curious if the modding process would be the same if I bought a Mayflash F300? The Mayflash F500 might be a little out of my price range at the moment, so I was considering buying the ODIN for the Mayflash F300. Once again, dope vid!
You don’t necessarily need all the parts right off the bat. Just order the actual piece of hardware. The rest is like for replacement keys, that sort of thing.
@@BootySweat4491 thanks to your videos you convinced me of buying an odin instead of spending all that money I dont have on a mixbox, thank you! youve got yourself a subscriber
I'm not going to lie... WHY!? What exactly do you get from putting four buttons in place of a stick when you buy a stick for the precision in the first place...? If you already have the precision without a stick there already exist something that doesn't force you to use a four directional button layout with three fingers! In fact you only need one!

Messing with it the F500 is a hell of a fun stick right out of the box. That its upgradable makes it one of the best out there.
It’s the best budget stick imo
3yrs later and this video is still very useful! Thanks for this, I was online searching for the right video and found yours.

works with PS5, bro?
@@vikhdez9306 F500 Elite should but with all others there is an update you will have to use. It’s on the Mayflash website.
I'm giving you a thumbs up for one reason..... You and that cigarette! Dang I'm going for a smoke peace out 🤟🏼

@@t3kkn1nja Glad I could help!
Sooooo I might have pulled a wee bit too much on one of the button connectors and snapped it off. Any tips for fixing this? 😬
@@t3kkn1nja They sell replacement connectors on Focus Attack for pretty cheap. You might have to get a new one.
@@BootySweat4491 thanks my guy I’ll do that!
Fantastic video! I bought this yesterday and I’m keen to start modding
Glad I could be of service. I hope you enjoy your new toys :)))
Say I damaged the wires that connect to the ABYX buttons. Whats the name of the wire/harness so I can replace it?
I believe it uses a 5 pin, so a 5 pin female harness should do fine.
Thank You! Kept me from breaking my button wires!
Lol glad to help ;)))

Good question, actually. I'm not sure.
Exactly what I needed, thanks maestro !
You got it :)))
great vid, but why the phuk are there cigarettes there? what purpose do they have in modding?!
To keep your nerves cool and your mind collected... I dunno, something like that?
can you do a video on upgrading the pcb on this stick? i want to put a brooks pcb in mine to make it tournament usable but i have no idea where to even start
I was thinking about revisiting doing some hardware videos on the channel again, but it might not be for some time. Thanks for the interest tho.
I accidentally damaged one of the wires that connects to the LB button and I want to buy another set of cables, do you know where I can buy them or what they’re called ? I’ve been having a hard time finding them with terminals on and all
Check out Focus Attack. They should have what you need. I think you just need a 5 pin connector bundle.
saves me fro0m dropping 250 on a mixbox. Would a korean style stick be as easy to mod into the Mayflash?
Should work just the same I would think.
Great vid, I just have a question I couldn't find with five minutes of googling. how do I take the 24mm start button out?
It should come out similar to how the others do, unless I'm mistaken?
@@BootySweat4491 it did, I got it out with the same method, although taking it out after disconnecting the wires needed more force

I found a old f300 I bought a while back lol . Do you know if its moddable like this ? Also do you know if it works with series x ? Haven’t used it since like 2018
Yes, the f300 is fully moddable. As for whether it works on the Series X, I would assume so since most Xbone controllers do but I’m not sure.
Just curious why do people replace the joystick with keyboard buttons?
What games are you using it with, or is it just a personal preference ?
Thanks
It's just personal preference. I first started playing SFV competitively on a keyboard and got used to the WASD inputs, but I also love how Sanwa buttons feel. So naturally putting them together works well for me. :)))

They will send you the correct parts. You tell them what stick you have and they will know which set to give you.
