It feels lighter compared to a hori, but it plays great. It is a bit loud though. So playing MVC may be annoying to people who cannot stand the sounds of buttons being rapidly pressed. Responds great, no problems so far.
P.S. Works fine on ps2 and PC. I don't have a ps3 to test it on, but I am sure it works ...[read more...]

Tried and Tested This is the first stick I've ever bought and it's worth every penny!
Although it's a fighting stick, I use it primarily for shooters and it works great!
I'm just using the stock parts so...
I've browsed through quite a lot of sticks and have found them expensive (probably worth it but I can't say), so I decided on this one.
It's cheap and it's really responsive. I have tested this on MAME and the PS2 and both it's just great!
The only bad side that I found is that the buttons are loud. The noise kind of echoes making it quite irritating for someone else.

Good stick I bought this stick primarily to mod, but I have played with it's stock parts.
The game I played was Street Fighter 3: Third Strike
On PS2: Nothing wrong at all. Everything worked fine.
On PC: I used a MAME engine, of course, and I found it lagged a little. There was a distinct delay between hitting the buttons and what came up on screen.
Overall: The stick works well on PS2 which is my main choice of platform.
The stick itself is quite loose which can be distracting. It also has a square restrictor which makes getting diagonal motions quite tricky, as the square shape makes the stick get stuck in the corners. I found moves like Quarter Circles somewhat difficult, although Shoryuken moves and Charging was fine.
The buttons were very stiff and I ended up hitting them quite firmly.
I would recommend this to anyone new to arcade who wants a cheap stick which works well.
Also I recommend it to any modders out there. The price is the cheapest around for anyone wanting to mod.
The PCB was easy to work. The stick did not have the 5 pin universal plug, but if you do want the 5 pin plug on your stick then working without one on the board was easy enough, just need to locate Ground.
The buttons are easily replaced with Sanwa and Seimitsu parts, no worries there.

Decent stick The Mayflash stick has the same contact footprint with the Saulabi SCS-2000, but is more stable when the action gets intense. Weight-wise about the same.
The joystick is square-holed, versus a round-hole for the Saulabi.
In XP default Game Controller setup page, the X-Y Joystick Axis is somehow mapped to the POV-Hat, AND 1-button for each direction. Plus another 8+2 buttons, totalling 16 buttons.
There is no way to calibrate using default XP Control Panel because when you move the Joystick, it registers as a button press and goes to the next calibration page, which is .
But it does comes with a Setup CD for custom calibration.
In MAME XP, everything is Plug and Play. SF3:3rd Strike response is good. ShoRyuKens from Down-Back position is easy.
With PS2, SF3:3S response is a bit lagging, DB to SRK somehow need adjusting to, compared to MAME XP.
Overall every click of the stick and buttons is louder than the Saulabi, but its a nice modding base.

OK budget stick Great for modding Ok budget stick, great case for modding even though wiring a sitck to it is tricky .
I had no problem fitting sanwa buttons and stick in it
About stock parts
The stock buttons were stiff and stick was loose with huge gap between the shaft and switches.

Well worth This is my first purchase of a stick and for the price i must say it is more than worth it. Works great for PC and I'm finding it quite easy to play games like KOF. Although it is not as comfortable as playing on the Sega Astro Cabinets in my local Arcade...It'll do just fine :).
