Haute42 Leverless Controller Arcade Stick: Haute42 R16 Black Controller

I really like this thing. Use to throw down on the Junk Food Snack Box Micro...was a bit too small; got rid of it. This, on the other hand, is the perfect size for my hands and it feels good to rest me wrists on. The cord that came with it is a good length and it worked as soon as I plugged it into my steam deck! Didn't have to fiddle with a single setting. The only downside is that it tends to creak when I'm putting mad pressure on it but that's by no means a deal breaker. All in all, the price is RIGHT and would make a good leverless fight stick for beginners and pros alike.

I’m a beginner in fighting games and wanted a leverless to learn with. Looking into it I stumbled upon this one which the price point is great for entry level compared to a lot of other options there are. On top of that it’s super light and slick. I would recommend this to everyone who wants to dip their toes into fighting games with leverless controllers.

I love this controller. It is perfect for most fighting games and has more buttons than you'll ever need. Setup is a bit of a pain if you're not savvy with Haute42 controllers already, and I had a hard time setting up my colors and alternative bindings to my preference. Additionally, it's a little awkward to clean between the grooves of the buttons. I've also had some strange durability issues--in particular, I have had some of the screws come undone randomly just after use. Otherwise, it feels great to play on and it doesn't feel too cramped for me personally. Tons of customization options to fit your aesthetic/gameplay preferences.

As my first ever leverless, it does its job great. Buttons are responsive, not too big and doesn’t slide much, it’s not too loud and it looks great in my room. Overall a great product for a fair price

Very durable as well as very responsive. I was worried the movement buttons were going to be too close to the action buttons because of my bigger hands, but with the size of the controller it turned out not to be a problem. The Huate42 configuration website works like a charm. Worth every penny over the smaller versions.

I did things in the opposite order that you SHOULD buy things. I am relatively new to leverless controllers. I've only been using them since a few months after the release of Street fighter 6. I used to use joysticks and fight pads. Since I am fortunate to have the funds I have I bought some of the more expensive leverless controllers first, which was a mistake. Because if I didnt realize how damn good the Haute42 (COMSOX) R16 was then I may have never wasted money on the other (Kitsune, Snackbox micro, Victrix FS12, and Punk Workshop). All of the more expensive ones I bought were fine, but I always found something wrong that made me continue the search for "The One". This R16 is a great entry but also great as a permanent solution. For the people that say it creaks a bit TIGHTEN THE SCREWS. They dont tighten them all the way when they shipped it. Now it still creaks but not half as much. That is the only downside for me. The button switches are replaceable and button caps are too. You can add artwork under the plastic clear top. You can make your own or buy one with a custom artwork through the FOCUS ATTACK site. Barebones, this thing is well worth the price. I've come to the conclusion that if you aren't doing some custom art or box for your leverless then Haute42 R16 is a great start and that the other companies are kind of ripping us off. I had an issue with the razer Kitsune and Razer wouldnt help fix my situation so never again Razer, although the kitsune is a great device, Haute 42 has a similar device for 2/3 of the price. Haute42 is my new favorite manufacturer of leverless controllers. I am curious to see what their more expensive offerings are like because this R16 is pretty damn good.

Well made product

First leverless stick and it works great out of the box with tons of customizable functionality I most likely won't be using. I am enjoying it, but as others have mentioned, it is ever so creaky when moving it around outside of normal use. Don't notice any creaking when playing with it in my lap so overall it's really great.

Awesome controller. Worth it.
