Arcade sticks & fightsticks

Arcade sticks fall into two groups here: ready-to-play models and build parts. A Mayflash F300 with replaceable 30 mm buttons, a 7-in-1 wired stick, an 8BitDo stick for Xbox and PC, the Haute42 Cosmox Mini hitbox, then 8-way levers, snap-in buttons and USB encoders to build your own.

Buying a built stick or assembling your own: what really changes

Four built models, four sets of parts

On the ready-to-play side, the Mayflash F300 relies on replaceable 30 mm buttons, the 7-in-1 wired stick covers Switch, PS4, PS3, PC and Android, the 8BitDo stick targets Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC with remapping, and the Haute42 Cosmox Mini drops the lever for an all-button layout. On the build side, there is the 8-way lever with square gate and 5-pin connector, snap-in buttons in 24 and 30 mm, the USB encoder and the XH2.54 or Dupont harness.

Square gate and 5-pin connector: two decisive details

The square gate fitted under the lever gives clean diagonals, which is what fighting games call for; an octagonal gate, by contrast, marks eight notches and suits games with strict 8-way input better. The 5-pin connector only goes in one useful way round: reversed, it turns up into down. That is the first thing to check when a freshly built stick heads the wrong way.

What it doesn't do

  • Half the selection consists of spare parts, not sticks usable as they are.
  • The levers and buttons offered are generic snap-in models, with no benchmark Japanese brand.
  • No enclosure or pre-cut panel is sold: a full build means making or reusing the case yourself.

Questions fréquentes

What is the difference between a classic stick and an all-button?
A classic stick uses a lever for movement; an all-button such as the Haute42 Cosmox Mini replaces that lever with four directional keys. Both hands then work the same way, which reduces how far you move. Learning circular motions is different, and some competitions set rules around this format.
Can you change the buttons on an already-built stick?
On the Mayflash F300, the 30 mm buttons are stated to be replaceable: that is the most common diameter for the six action keys. The shop's snap-in buttons come in 24 and 30 mm, the 24 mm ones serving mainly Start and Select. Check the panel thickness before ordering.
What do you need to build an arcade stick from scratch?
Four items: a USB encoder, an 8-way lever, snap-in buttons in 24 and 30 mm, and the 5-pin harness that links it all. Wiring needs no soldering thanks to the spade terminals and the XH2.54 or Dupont connectors. That leaves the case, which is not supplied and which you cut yourself.
