It was while I was living in a cramped apartment and my only computer was a laptop that I set up on top of my dresser as a standing desk, with my keyboard and mouse sitting on a finished plank that I set over the top drawer. With that setup, the X-Arcade was at the perfect height for me.
But since then I got a proper tower PC on a proper computer desk and the X-Arcade sat too high on the desk and was too bulky for my lap. I ended up barely playing shmups at that point but I was still a little shocked/ashamed that I spent so much money on it.
But this new Mayflash is perfect. Sits well on the desk or my lap, the sanwa parts are incredibly responsive, and the metal plates in the body make it feel like I could brain an intruder with it, unlike the X-Arcade whose wood body was starting to fall apart. And all my fears about compatibility with old shmups (the X-Arcade maps to keyboard inputs) were unfounded, they like Xinput just fine.
Plus with the built-in autofire function I can finally play Cho Ren Sha 68K properly now! |
