I only recently started using arcade sticks in the past few years but I've always wanted to try a leverless (hitbox) controller just to see how it was compared to the standard arcade stick (and of course it looked fun!). Only problem, like most sticks, proper quality hitboxes cost in the hundreds and I'm not willing to drop that kind of dosh on what is essentially experimentation. So just like my first stick (Quanba Drone), I looked for a cheap alternative and came across this, and holy crap was I satisfied with this purchase. Nice responsive buttons (that felt better than the stock buttons on my Quanba), compatible with just about anything you'd need it to be (with a workaround for Play Station) and it allows for customization via slotting in art inserts (you can either order some online from sites like Focus Attack, or make your own with photoshop and a printer). And yes, coming from a semi casual at fighting games it feels way better for me to use this over the regular arcade stick ( I can even execute EWGF consistently in Tekken now too!). Build quality is pretty solid for the cost and even if you don't customize it it looks pretty good. I can't really think of many downsides to this controller; if I get anymore arcade sticks, while I wouldn't mind using the standard arcade sticks, my preferred sticks are definitely gonna be leverless sticks like this one!

Very affordable and nice leverless controller. I really like the customization this offers and how quiet the switches are for the default specs. I like the weight on it as well as it feels comfortable for lap play. I would recommend watching some tutorials on youtube on how to get the most customization out of it and how to tweak it to your liking. One thing I will note is to not use the usb c cable that is provided. In my case I would have issues where my leverless will stop working and hold a direction for some reason. No issues after using a higher quality cable. Have not ran into any other issues so far. Really great for the price and is a good option if you want a nice leverless for a fraction of the other options. Read more

Love the hitbox like controller personally help with my input accuracy in SF6 and tekken. And the Acrylic plate and optional rubber pads for the button help improve the quality and not make it feel cheap Read more

This is being used on PC primarily and works well, feeling very similar to the Razer Kitsune. I'd definitely grab this if PC is your primary platform and you want to get into the leverless controller world without breaking the bank. With that said, there is a workaround for PS4/PS5 use. Essentially tricking the console into making it think this is a PS4 controller. I'd definitely make a note this is only going to apply to fighting games. I have the Kitsune for full PS5 support though, so this isn't something I'm personally worrying about and haven't needed to test. Built quality is decent. The buttons feel good and the screen at the top left is nice to work with. Since the T13's built to be about the same size at the Razer too, it'll also allow you to rest your palm on the surface of the controller when needed. One thing I will note is the replacement button options for this device seems up in the air, with the Bitfunx buttons seeming to be the ones to get since they're all 30mm. I just wish there was a more OEM option provided by the seller for further customization. The only fault I can see is that my unit's top button, above the left, down, right button, is unresponsive. I realize this can happen and I have a replacement already ordered so it's not a big deal. This button is suppose to mimic the 'up' button from what I can tell. I likely wouldn't use this anyway so again, not a big deal for me personally, but I'd obviously like this to work simply because it should out of the box. If you're at all hesitant about leverless controllers, but genuinely want to try it out, I'd say this is a solid starting point that is considerably less expensive than the Razer, Hitbox, and Victrix options out there. The smaller G series and slightly short M series would also make for good options if they're using the same board and switches. Read more

Bought the haute42 t13 as my friends told me about getting into using a lever less for fighting games. I come from a background of playing on arcade stick so it was generally awkward at first but within a few days I was able to see leaps in my back dash cancels in tekken 8. The device is about the size of a laptop on your lap and the buttons are comfortably sized. They also have a satisfying sound to each press. The product has the ability to change to different system compatibility using the haute42 program (there are many YouTube videos on this) which also allow you to change the rgb and macros. The one thing I do not like are the lack of non-slip pads on the backside. If you have it placed on your lap there are instances where it can feel like it will slide out of your grip if you are leaning forward. For this I would recommend getting some of your own non-slip pads to attach on the back of the device. Native ps5 support would also be nice but this is a difficult feature to implement to most accessories on the market so I won’t knock them for it. If you set it to the playstation setting, it will work for about 5 minutes or so before the game stops registering your inputs. For those looking to compete with the haute42 I would recommend purchasing a brooks wingman fgc so that you can use the device on ps5 without concerns of technical difficulties mid match. This product is absolutely worth it for those who want to try leverless without having to drop $200 or more. Read more
