Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the various functions and modes of your MAYFLASH F300.
- XINPUT and DINPUT Modes (PC):
The F300 supports both XINPUT (Xbox 360 controller protocol) and DINPUT (Direct Input, standard HID protocol) when used on PC. Use the switch on the control panel to select the desired mode.
- X/Y and D-Pad Mode:
The D-Pad and X/Y Analog Axis mode can be exchanged using the dedicated switch. If the switch is set to "X/Y", the stick functions as the "Left Joystick". If set to "DPAD", the stick functions as "POV".
- Turbo Functions:
The F300 supports Turbo functions with different speed settings. There are two Turbo speeds: Turbo 1 (15 times/second) and Turbo 2 (25 times/second).
To set Turbo for individual buttons (A/X, B/O, X/□, Y/△, RB/R1, RT/R2, LB/L1, LT/L2), press and hold the button you wish to set Turbo for, and then press the TURBO button. The TURBO LED will flash, indicating the setting is finished.
To remove the Turbo setting for a specific button, press and hold the button previously set for Turbo and press the TURBO button again. To clear all Turbo settings for all buttons, quickly press the TURBO button twice within half a second.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MAYFLASH F300, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning:
Wipe the surface of the fight stick with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the finish.
- Storage:
Store the fight stick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Customization (Modding):
The F300 is compatible with Sanwa Denshi buttons and joysticks, making it ideal for customization. The back panel can be easily unscrewed to access internal components for part swapping. Cables are color-coded for straightforward modifications.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your MAYFLASH F300, refer to the following common solutions:
- Connection Issues:
Ensure all cables are securely connected. For console connections requiring an original controller, verify that the original controller is properly connected and recognized by the console before connecting the F300.
If experiencing issues with Xbox Series S/X, ensure your Xbox controller is updated to the latest version.
- Input Not Responding:
Check the input mode switch (XINPUT/DINPUT) on the control panel to ensure it is set correctly for your platform. Verify the D-Pad/X/Y Analog Axis mode switch is in the desired position.
