Mayflash Arcade Stick F300 Faulty Joystick

If inputs are improperly registering or not being detected with your Mayflash Arcade Stick F300, follow this troubleshooting guide.

If the joystick is sticking when using the device, it can be due to one or multiple microswitches being broken. To test this, try swapping the problem microswitch with a working one within the joystick already, and if the problem persists in the original microswitch, it may need to be replaced. For how to replace joystick microswitches, follow this Mayflash Arcade Stick F300 Microswitch Replacement guide.

If the joystick is experiencing multiple issues including not registering inputs or drifting when in use, it may be best to replace the entire joystick. This can be tested by connecting to a different device or program and checking if the problem persists. Does the joystick feel loose or wobbly when in use? A wobbly or misaligned joystick can be due to worn out parts like the spring inside it or loose screws. Replacing the joystick can also be done for improved aesthetics or accessibility.
