Leverless Controller Arcade Stick Haute42 M12 Plus: Aluminum Leverless Controller,Leverless Arcade Stick for PC/PS3/PS4/Switch Game,Crystal Low-Profile Switch Arcade Stick Support Hot Swap & SOCD

This thing is a joy to use. Its lightweight but sturdy, really easy to travel with, easy to keep clean and tidy. Lots of open space for you to decorate with stickers if that's your sort of thing. The cable is just a USB-C so if your wears out or is lost its not hard to replace. I'd recommend it to friends in the market for a new hitbox style device.

I love leverless controllers and have a Hitbox and Victrix ProFS12 and while I like those I always had a tough time using them on the P2 side in Tekken (not in street fighter for some reason). Wavedashing and backdashing in Tekken 8 was almost impossible for me on those controllers, but not on this controller! In a day I was wavedashing and backdashing fast from both P1 and P2 sides and getting EWGFs consistently. I am not using macros, but I did map another set of left/right directionals to 2 other buttons to make this possible. I got this on a slight sale and so far this has been worth the money I payed over the Hitbox and Victrix. Here are the pros and cons:Pros:- Build quality is ridiculously good for the price.- Buttons feel amazing and responsive. Not too sensitive and also don't have to mash them hard to register. They sound great, but I will experiment with different switches to see if I can get them to feel and sound even better. I still kind of prefer the Gravity KS buttons I installed on my Victrix though.- Lots of customization for the buttons and macros.- The price.- Compact, but has a bit of weight to it.- Plenty of room for hands to rest.- can change switchesCons:- No USB cord lock like on the Kitsune.- the update process was kind of weird... I'm lucky I found out about it through a Youtube video.- No native PS5 support (to be expected at this price point)- It's still a bit small to fit on my lap comfortably. This is one huge advantage of Victrix over this one.- Customization is limited.Overall, it's a solid purchase and this will probably be my controller of choice to use in tournaments once I get a PS5 adapter. Not sure how long it will last, but as long as I get a couple of years out of it I'm good!

For the price, this stumps the competition. I bought the Haute42 M16 Plus this week, and it is very, very nice. I debated hard on the 16 or the 12, but you will learn quickly having the extra buttons (especially in SF6) is amazing.I will say, I would join their discord channel or catch a YouTube video on how to update firmware and some other basics. However, when you get this thing set up (which really is not hard) it is awesome.Compared to some competition being at $400 and $300 dollars, this thing lacks no quality. I would say it is even better.Thanks to Haute42 for the sweet controller and not overcharging the fan base!

This lever-less pad is amazing as a first time user and exactly what I was looking for. Built in switches are light and responsive and the aluminum construction makes it nice feel nice and weighty on your lap. My one and only issue with this is that I was sent a cable that did not work with multiple computers and had me confused and concerned my unit was faulty. After switching it out with a spare type-c cable I was set and ready to go. If you're new to lever-less like myself and you're looking for a device that isn't too small and has some weight to it as well as responsive this is an easy recommendation.

The buttons feel great, very receptive. Excellent for playing Tekken.

As an Xbox owner we are treated like trash by capcom and leverless/Arcade stick brands, however the Haute42 kept us in mind. When you plug the haute42 to your computer and go to the website it has the option for xbox. It allows for xbox button map pinning, allowing features like pressing the home button and screenshotting. To get this product to work on xbox however, you have to buy a Magicboots flashdrive or mayflash drive and stick it into the haute42 M16 for it to bypass the licensing firmware that xbox installed. The drives are pretty cheap and you can find them on amazon. On pc its plug and play super fun to use, and giving you Modern like reactions (SF6). I recommend this to anyone wanting to try leverless but not wanting to pay the ridiculous price for the Razer kitsune or victrous.

Definitely a worthy upgrade from other lever-less controllers. Community also is extremely resourceful and helpful on setting it up. 5/5 product and community.

*Updated review after seller shipped free replacement*The controller design is really great. Very customizable and easy to use. Only reason it's not 5 stars is because I'm holding out to see how long it performs well.-------------------------------------------Original Review:Disconnects all the time, makes playing seriously impossible. I purchased this to replace a hitbox by haute42 that also had the same problem: https://a.co/d/7HLJZsXThe problem in both of them was a loose USB C connector for the cable.
