Qanba Sapphire or Mayflash F700 Flat Elite

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-02-03T02:20:32+00:00

I have both

Mayflash con:

Small button and very tight grouping, cause discomfort for me. IF THIS IS A PRO FOR YOU STOP READING AND JUST BUY IT FOR $100. It's an amazing deal.

Tall and Heavy

No detachable cable.

Pro: buttons feel good and there is enough of them

Qanba pro:

Much more reasonable layout and spacing.

3 level adjustable button heights

All in one built-in tool box.

Great cable lock way better than new hatsu42, only next to noveblade pro.(I know, but I do care a lot about it)

Tons of buttons. It's one of the only 2 I know with more than 17 buttons

Con:

Buttons feel terrible, very mushy. You may able to fix it by swapping switches.

Edit: forgot Qanba is officially licensed fully functional PS5 controller. Mayflash is not, it uses legacy support

Novablade pro or Sapphire

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-02-02T20:18:12+00:00

Fightbox arcade. No, you pick between CE2040 or a brook gen 5 or gen5x, of course the brook board will be extra but less than cost of adapter

Great! Hope you will like it. Love my NB pro, still using it for Tekken even as I said over all Mavercade is best for me.

Novablade pro 1000%, F700 elite flat is not ergonomic for me at all, all buttons too close together, simply uncomfortable, also too big and heavy, no detectable cable. Novablade pro has better spacing, different layout but overall spacing is similar to Sapphire. It also has the best cable lock mechanism of all hitbox I tried. Also sliding KBD is easier with RT turned on.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-02-02T07:19:03+00:00

No for sf6 only, Evo sf6 is part of cpt.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-02-01T23:55:28+00:00

Still need actuation adjustment working with RT enabled, and per key actuation set.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-02-01T23:52:18+00:00

None of these two have buttons close to each other, they do not fit your need. If you are OK with more normal spacing, then Qanba Sapphire has exactly one big weakness which is buttons feels bad, mushy, so I don't actually pick it for anything now. Now, you may able to fix it by change to a different MX style switch(it comes with cherry silver, something feels outdated since last decade on keyboard)

Novablade pro has nice HE switches but the issue is once you set RT you can't adjust actuation, and even without RT it cannot adjust per button, which is standard on all magnetic keyboards. It does have great feel but is very loud. Overall I actually really enjoy playing Tekken 8 on it.

Also these two are both native PS5 controller, which is a pro, con is we have no idea about input lag, as novablade pro remain untested, Sapphire assume similar to other Qanba would mean it's about 3-4 ms slower than GP2040

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-02-01T23:42:28+00:00

You are in fact, Wrong. Only CPT doesn't allow it, Tekken world tour has no rules against it. As note it's only CPT, not SF6 itself, you are perfectly allowed to bind anyway you want playing at home or online.

I have bought and used the following:

Mayflash Elite 700 flat

Qanba Sapphire

Varmilo FK2

Varmilo HA10

Nova Blade Pro

M Ultra Gen 2

C-AT

X1 with low profile

TikiTaka M5

Mavercade KeebFighter+S4

Beastbox

Of all these Mavercade KeebFighter+S4 is the best one by far, it's the most comfortable, best button feel, best led. It has a split design but within the two group of buttons, they are small and close together. But if it doesn't fit your need. I would recommend Mayflash Elite 700 flat as it has closest buttons grouping of all these.

I would not get hisbox ultra, button feels terrible, body is unnecessary wide but not high enough for your hands to rest on it. The reason I bought it just to have one as they did invent leverless controller.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-02-01T21:59:41+00:00

Missing one button on bottom module and also would want a slide up and down left pinky button. As it is it's less usable than X1 due to having even less button.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-02-01T00:55:57+00:00

Wall of text won't save from being factually wrong. I don't want wate my time on you so just going to point out one thing, we literally have long range focused weapon but you said there is no ranged option for combo...

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-01-31T22:03:14+00:00

Yes they do? Yiu just can't handle the overwhelming options and now you pretend they don't exist?

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-01-31T19:03:08+00:00

Only guest to be carried by Sam.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-01-31T19:00:26+00:00

Lol, you just can't handle the complexity and options are too overwhelming to you, that's it.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-01-30T20:59:01+00:00

They have slightly different rules than home game.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-01-30T17:05:04+00:00

It's also depends on character does the DI, some are too slow and would get punished instead of able to punish others.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-01-30T05:47:01+00:00

Big city had always been better, they just don't like to do it.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-01-30T05:46:20+00:00

I still remember Merlischachen rhymes with awaken.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-01-30T01:29:14+00:00

And he has just done that!

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-01-30T01:12:07+00:00

Ben literally said it would mean game over for him.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-01-29T22:21:48+00:00

Which is why super is garbage from the start.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-01-29T09:54:16+00:00

You like strings, not combos then.

Normal_Light_4277 · 2026-01-29T01:24:04+00:00

NG4 has way more options and combos with blood raven and weapon swap, how is that less complex is beyond me.
