Sehawei Haute42 Arcade Stick 16Keys All-Button Gamerfinger with Custom RGB Turbo Functions Arcade Controller Street Fight for PC

I always wondered why arcade controllers seemed so expensive when they seem very straightforward to make. Well, this thing blows every other leverless arcade controller out of the water in terms of bang for the buck. While the controller base was smaller than I had expected, the build quality is very solid, and it really has everything you need. SOCD control, customizable button lighting, LED screen that displays useful information (ex. SOCD mode, input mode, button presses), easy access to switch buttons / switches. It is lightweight and compact, can easily carry this around in a small bag if needed. I am going to stick with haute42 going forward for leverless arcade controllers, already tempted to buy the t16 which is the bigger version. Read more

How on earth is this such high quality? This thing dwarfs 3d printed hitboxes going for 200 bucks on Etsy, it's got extremely smooth, thick and punchy gamerfinger switches and the heavy acrylic material combined with the greywood v3 switches give the inputs and incredibly satisfying thock. The weight and travel feels extremely quick while not being so light that resting your fingers will treat you to accidental inputs. RGB lighting has a fun ambience and arcade-y feel to the whole device. It's extremely ergonomic and comfortable to crank on for hours without any pain or discomfort in the wrists or fingers, especially compared to a controller or even an arcade stick. Input switching makes this thing near universal, while SOCD cleaning modes work to keep you from registering inputs otherwise impossible in fighting games or on joystick/DPAD in general (up + down or left + right simultaneously) so it's a tournament legal device. Size is extremely compact, especially in terms of height profile, but not so small that you can't get away with resting it on your lap. The OLED display is the icing on the cake, it displays your current settings so you don't have to scratch your head and lab in a practice mode to figure out whether you have SOCD cleaning on a certain mode, or turbo on a certain button -- or heck even what type of controller inputs you're sending. You can see all the settings and which inputs are registering right at your fingertips. Frickin sweet device, can't beat this price point!!! Read more

Love the size and build quality. And the configurator website is just mind blowing on what you can do. /* cough macros cough */ Why the 4 stars? Well for me, I'm still trying to rewire my brain to press my thumb to jump. So I find myself reaching for the up button with my middle finger, which on this controller, is in an awkward position. Maybe it's to discourage it's usage? I don't know, but it is kinda discouraging, and I find myself just reaching for my gamepad. Read more

WOW! I'm really happy with this hitbox (or whatever it's called). I have large hands and was worried about hand cramps, since its one of the smaller hitboxes out there but that's been no issue at all. The product itself looks clean and because it is so small its not an eyesore when its on my desk and can be easily stored. Beyond its appearance, it's helped me get more comfortable with fighting games. I've always struggled with the genre, only finding mild success in Tekken 8 where I reached Garyu with a controller. I've had trouble hitting the right inputs, and it only gets worse when opponents are pressuring me and I'm not executing the move I intended. This hitbox has helped me feel more in control of my character and helped me stay more calm when playing against people. It did take some time to adjust, but the more comfortable I get with it, the easier combos become. I don't own other hitboxes, but I highly recommend this one. It looks great, and for the price, it offers a lot. Read more

Exceeded my expectations, even after reading some glowing customer reviews. Pros +++++Leverless fight box that cost less than your standard first party Dual Sense, Switch Pro, or Xbox Series controller +Lovely acrylic shell +++Quality and quiet mechanical linear switches +++The RGB LEDs are bright, dimmable, with a couple animation options (or you can turn them off) ++There is an extra USB C and a USB A extension port +The tiny built-in config display is a discrete little luxury +++Weight is solid, feels good in the lap or on the desk +Quality Type A to C USB cable +Some extra key caps and a spare switch Cons -Key caps feel a little cheap and are pretty easy to pop off - No padding underneath with metal screws exposed (cold on bare thighs, could scratch desk) Neutral comments =Small footprint, about as big as a DVD movie box = Single page of useful info = Works on my PC and Switch =Significantly louder than gamepad but much quieter than my arcade stick =Not immediately intuitive... There's a learning curve ***I'll update if anything goes wrong... Otherwise, I highly recommend! Read more

The G16 has amazing quality & is smaller than I thought (I also use a snackbox micro controller.) You can easily add your own custom art & swap out the buttons which I plan on doing. The button sounds are a lot quieter than a standard mechanical keyboard, & the Home, Back, & Start buttons on top portion of the G16 have a rubbery soft feel which I appreciate (Snack Box Micro Menu buttons have a pretty hard plastic touch to them). For the price, this a must buy for any fighting game fan attempting to make the switch to lever less. I'm primarily playing on PC & I'll be using a brook wingman converter to play on PS5. Read more
