Mayflash V2 vs HORI RAP EX-SE

Post by St4rwalker »

Hi,

I want to know what stick is in the Mayflash V2, cuz its so darn good, i really like it!
Only thing is the buttons are rather meh and tiresome because of pressure force etc..

Comparing to my brand new addition, the limited Edition HORI RAP EX-SE (was only available
through yahoo.jp a while ago) with all seimitsu parts, i think i like the stick of the mayflash v2 so much better..

Thing is, i paid about 260$ shipped and customs incl. and now im a bit disappointed, because the stick of the HORI is
kinda rough, when stick goes around the corners ie. i can feel the edges, its not a round movement like the mayflash v2..

With what stick in the market available (seimitsu, sanwa etc.) does the mayflash compares to the closest?
Also, if anybody has interest in a brand new never user HORI RAP EX-SE please pm me, and i will make you a very nice offer.

Thanks for your time

Crazy. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they prefer a generic Mayflash stick to anything. It's usually the first thing that gets ripped out and replaced. The EX-SE in my opinion is one of the best shmup stick ever made. If you don't like the edges you are feeling (because of the square gate), order a $4.00 octagonal or circular gate and pop it in. It's a simple mod and would take you 5 minutes.
