Mayflash F500 V2 Modding - Sanwa buttons, Oval balltop & Square restrictor gate (Extended Cut)

Hi everyone!

This is a follow up from my last video where I unboxed the Mayflash F500 V2 Arcade Stick. In this video I show you how I changed the stock buttons to a higher quality set of buttons made by Sanwa. I also changed the ball top from the ball type to the oval type.

One last thing, I decided to go back to the square restrictor gate after understanding a little bit more its purpose in fighting game scenarios. I mostly enjoy fighting games on an arcade stick so I might as well play like the PROs do! Here I showed all the process of me making these moddifications.

It's a long video but I've placed chapters for you to skip to your specific parts of interest!

Let me know what you thougth in the comments! I read them all the time!
Thank you for watching!
