   I love using stickless fight controllers to play fighting games like Street Fighter. This one looked cool, so I ordered it. My first impression of the controller is that it is large compared to the stickless controller I had been using. It has sixteen buttons and three function type buttons (start, select, and home). The LEDs are a bit too flashy for my taste; however, I was able to tame the LEDs using a combination of the LED button and the LED settings within the menu. Aesthetically this is a beautiful controller. Digging deeper, I learned that this controller is powered with an RP2040 using the GP2040-CE firmware. The firmware is powerful as it gives me flexibility to map the buttons however I want and to even use macros. The response time for a button press is less than a millisecond on average. This is blazing fast compare to other game controllers. I love that the firmware has a web mode that lets me configure it straight from a browser. As far as playing games, this feels great. I booted up Street Fighter II and played a few matches. I could hit special moves with ease. I often have trouble hitting a shoryuken with a stick based controller, but I can usually hit it every time with this one. This controller feels more ergonomic than a typical stick based controller too. The menu on this controller is interesting. It allows me to change settings without having to boot into web mode or anything like that. That being said, I sometimes had trouble with the menu knob. I’d often hit a direction when I’d mean to click. But this is a minor inconvenience as I can do most of the configuration with the web interface. Overall, I love this controller. It’s beautiful, responsive, and functional. It is my new favorite game controller.

   It is thin, light, and looks great, but I am getting shocked constantly while I use it. Needs something to get rid of static because it is so annoying. If it did not have static issues this would be perfect for my fightcade setup.

   I like this gamepad. It is high quality and has a good feel. Should be able to last a lot of gaming sessions. The lighting functions are numerous and look good. The only trouble I’ve had is getting it to work on my xbox. I’ll have to keep trying. Otherwise, I would recommend this.

   According to my cousin, the feel is amazing. He prefers this over the Haute B16. The low profile switches are pretty good for fighting games where reaction time matters.

   Personally? The layout felt odd to me. Like I had to spread my fingers a bit too much, but I think is a matter of getting used to it or placing your hand in a different manner.

   Good quality overall

   I built a “DIY” hitbox using arcade parts and an SBC that I’ve used for years now and while it works fine but I wanted something nicer and boy did this knock it out of the park! Everything in this is just top notch craftsmanship that demonstrates they care about their product and respect their customers. The accessories they provide are about maintaining the longevity of the controller tools to remove the switches/buttons, spare switches, spare buttons, spare hardware, and high quality metal feet with little flip up hinges for further customization. Powering it up I was greeted with the standard RGB rainbow assault that every RGB product seems to ship with by default. Honestly it was way too much for me but it might appeal to others. I consulted the instructions which are printed large enough to be easy to read and well enough to be easy to understand. Customizing the RGB was straightforward. OH speaking of customizing the button by the LCD isn’t just a pushbutton microswitch its a controller with up down left right and press it makes navigating that LCD easy peasy! The unit has two different locations for the usb c cable to connect to which make it work well on the desktop and in my lap. The cable itself has a right angle connector and is of quality construction with that soft plastic feel and it’s about 6ft/2m long which is plenty for my needs. The unit feels good in the hand its got enough weight that in conjunction with the rubber feet it doesn’t slide on the desk the weight is just over 2lb by the way (almost 1k). The play surface is more than large enough to fit your hands in any position I can come up with. I did note that if I pressed exceptionally hard on the furthest edges of the controller that it would sometimes “creak” like plastic on plastic. Given I had to press absurdly hard I don’t think this is going to be something I have to deal with. Operation of the controller is smooth, the buttons all have a relatively shallow travel and the switches are linear so the only action you hear is the thock when you bottom out the travel. The controller worked on my linux desktop as well as my steam deck and I detected no latency but I’m definitely not a hardcore fighting game connoisseur as I mainly only challenge my friends to play Darkstalkers from time to time when I get nostalgic. Bottom line: This is one smooth leverless controller and I think it’s going to last me a lifetime of fighting games and I have no qualms recommending it to anyone interested in trying one out.

   Works great out of the box on windows. I use this to play old arcade games, nes games, etc. With emulators it is a breeze to use.

   Manual is mostly clear on how to customize the buttons and the OLED display has a rocker switch for navigating the menus easily. The lighting modes are lacking but that’s fine so whatever.

   It’s made of clear acrylic and has two USB c ports for picking which side you want to have the cable on. It has a nice weight to it so it doesn’t slide around. It even comes with adhesive rubber pieces and tilting hinge things if you want it to have standoff.

   Also I haven’t tried it, but it looks like you could theoretically insert your own art behind the clear acrylic if you were inclined to take it apart.

   Clearly lots of love was put into this and it’s a great value. I recommend!

   The buttons sound like ASMR and aren’t loud, and are very comfortable to press. The rgb is really really nice and vibrant around the fight stick and on the buttons themselves. The quality is extremely high, especially when you consider the price it is at. This is a great buy for anyone getting into leverless fight sticks and want something nice.

   This has been a great addition to my husband’s gaming set up. He said there was a bit of a learning curve for him to use it and get everything programed right but that it works great!
