The first one, unfortunately, didn’t survive after a losing streak and lasted approximately one year. Despite being a bit squeaky, it is really sturdy and durable. It feels a lot better than a gamepad. The stock switches seem okay, but I would recommend Kailh Shadow Hunting switches or other low-profile alternatives as replacements. They make it easier to put less pressure on the keys when holding block compared to the original ones. Overall, I think this controller is great and does everything that it is supposed to do. Review: LED Lights on controllers are so freaking cool. - I received the Haute 42 Hautepad R16 relatively fast after I shipped it and man, it was pretty good. It has a pretty simple setup before getting the controller to work with your games. You might have to watch a (short) YT video about setting it up for your first time though as it comes with a piece of paper whose instructions leave a bit to be desired. After that (small) initial hurdle, you’re good to go. If you’re new to these type of controllers, keep in mind that they primarily work with 2D fighting games and if you try to get them to work with other genres of games (or even non 2D fighting games) you’ll either run into poor results/it not working at all. It’s decently heavy but not so heavy that you couldn’t carry it in a bag. Haute typically has smaller, lighter controllers if that’s more your speed. The Buttons are pretty responsive, not much delay between button press and action which is good. The LED monitor in the top left corner (and the LED buttons light up) perfectly displays what buttons you’re pressing. Also the LED lights are *chef’s kiss*. The design of it is slick and slim, pretty cool if ya ask me. I could definitely say it’s worth the price tag, but again if $100 is a money sink that you’re not willing to put forward, this same company has just as good options at lower price points [also might not have the cool LEDs :( ] ## Features - [Upgraded Crystal Switches & Ultra-Slim Design]Crafted with premium Crystal Low-Profile Switches and a sleek, transparent black acrylic finish, the Haute42 R16 offers unmatched RGB clarity and tactile responsiveness.
