Corsair NOVABLADE PRO Wireless Hall Effect Leverless Controller 15-Main Key Layout 1000Hz Polling 2 4GHz Wireless SOCD MGX

A premium leverless controller from Corsair. Sturdy feeling with anodized aluminum top plate,switches rated for an impressive 150 million presses. Wireless dongle works flawlessly and comparable with wired polling rate of 1000Hz. Main use case for Tekken 8. Updating firmware out of the box was easy by visiting the Corsair website. Inputs feel even more responsive than the 3 year old Razer Kitsune. Thanks to the hall-effect (magnetic switches) total travel of buttons is 4mm but actuation and reset points can be as low as 0.1mm. It seems that in rapid trigger mode, switches default to an initial ~0.5mm actuation point (less sensitive than 0.1mm) which is not adjustable, however any >0.1mm upward movement will reset the switch to neutral and any downward movement >0.1mm will allow for the next button press. This is a great feature as it allows for quick and precise just-frame combo inputs. Read more

This is my first lever less controller and The buttons feel nice to press and you can feel how high quality it is. The customization the controller has for the buttons is also great. Works amazing for both PS5 and PC. Read more

"We were on the verge of greatness. We were this close!" I had a question regarding the remapping functionality of the Novablade Pro: "Is it supposed to duplicate the original input that's remapped to G6, G7 or G8 — or is it meant to disabled the original input and thus essentially replace it with the new binding of G6, G7 or G8 respectively?" I received mix responses. Some showed and said it does in fact duplicate inputs. Others showed and said it doesn't duplicate, but rather replaces the input instead. Long story short is if you're purchasing this with the intention of doubling up any inputs, I'd recommend you purchase something else as I don't believe it'll work—saving you the frustration, time, and effort to return the product. It's unclear if this is a difference between pre-release firmware on early units that presumably only testers or reviewers would have had access to. My "theory" would be that while the Novablade Pro was in development, the functionality used to duplicate inputs. Some time before full retail release or launch of the product, Corsair must've changed their mind—and along with it—the "replace" instead of "duplicate" option came to be the standard. Maybe for a specific Developer/Publisher requirements for official tournament rules and specifications(?). Whatever the reason, it's a shame that this presumed or possible change was made. There are a lot of things to like about the product, but that singular feature loss/change was an absolute deal breaker for me personally. If firmware ever changes this back to duplication of inputs, I'll do a 180° on my review and it'll be at least 4 stars. Maybe a Novablade Pro+, Pro V2 or Pro 2—some other name and thus variant would be a way to introduce the duplication of inputs functionality and feature. I understand that an additional SKU isn't exactly great for business either, so I won't hold my breathe; especially as this is still very much a brand new product to market.

Great wireless leverless for ps5. There arent a lot of options out there with this form factor and ps5 wireless connectivity. RGB looks cool and the faceplate, which is magnetic, is made from a thick metal and feels very high quality. Read more

I'm some what of a collector and I think this is the endgame leverless but it's not perfect. It's close. There should be a web config for easier onboarding. There's a lot of functionality but it's very confusing at first since it's all onboard. You have to have some kind of cheat sheet near by if you plan to change something if you have memorized how to make changes. The buttons could be a little quieter but they can be swapped out as you can see from my pic. They're good just loud Top plate can get fingerprints but is easy to wipe off. It's like a 4.5 easily right now. I packed my Haute X1 up within 15 minutes. It's that good but I did fiddle with getting it dial-ed for a few hours to start. Which I think could annoy many people. My hands are large so this is perfect for me. Value its a premium product. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND BUYING TILL CORSAIR DROPS FIRMWARE UPDATE want to love it but mapping duplicated inputs on the G keys literally does not work such a shame that certain units of the controllers do not support these feature and some do attempted to do a firmware update and factory reset a bunch but it just does not want to work i’ve seen reviews where they were able to properly map a duplication input to the GKeys and still have the originally button be functional so it seems like a handful of batches were just shipped defective Read more
