Looking to buy a leverless controller / hitbox type controller
What are some good ones?

Been looking at Haute42 but they have so many models it's hard to know which one is the best for the price range

Bump

No controllers? An AI thread died for this...

leverless controllers frighten me

>>717431701
They can't hurt you

>>717430617 (OP)
>worst game of reversi ever

its what i use. dirt cheap (like 40€). i have a regular leverless controller with arcade style buttons as well, but desu these days i prefer the keyboard style more

>>717432207
that's basically a keyboard
it's too small but i like the price

>>717431932
they can damage his fragile ego.

>>717432207
Why not just get a mini keyboard at this point.

>>717430617 (OP)
The newest Haute42 is the C16 and it looks pretty cool
>good size and all the buttons you could want
>magnetic top so you can put art in it if you like
>wind engine switches which are awesome and what i use in my fightstick
>still super cheap in the grand scheme of things
to be honest you can't go wrong with any of them

>>717432478

The whole point of these things is to show them off in an imgur gallery

>>717432554
Thanks, added them to my list

I bought a "Jasen's Panzer 3" from https://jasenscustoms.com/ many years ago. Probably 2018? Looks like they have Panzer 4s and 5s.

>>717432478
harder to make compatible with a console setup if you're going to tournament. most fightsticks have a gp2040 board in them which you just plug an authenticator or converter into and it turns into a playstation pad

Iam interested in the FK2-Varmilo.
but it's just too much money to satisfy my curiosity regarding these new types of rapid triggers

>>717430617 (OP)
I have the T13. It's cheap and feels great to use

>>717430617 (OP)
ngl ya'll gay af

>>717433160
i using a Wooting keyboard which has the hall effect switches in it and can confirm they are pretty awesome and do genuinely made a difference, don't know if I'm convinced by Varmillos software though

>>717430617 (OP)
I bought a case and parts from allfightsticks and made one myself. It works perfectly and was only like $100.

>>717433929
fps tourist here: always been interested in what kinda gear the fgc use. curious why you guys don't take advantage of analogue stuff for rapid trigger, variable actuation triggers etc.

The layout is the exact layout that I want for my stick but the only company selling is goldenlever and it costs like 300 bucks just for the case no internals. Might need to learn how to make my own.

>>717434310
It's happening now

>>717434469
nice are these custom pcb and firmware or just off the shelf (wooting, aliexpress) keebs?

>>717434310
we're slow to adapt. joking, but i am waiting for haute42 to bring out a version of their shit with all the new bells and whistles and open source community driven software

>>717430617 (OP)
a bit wider/larger is nice so you can put on lap

>>717430617 (OP)
If you're on a budget just use your keyboard, assuming it's not some cheap garbage with no n key rollover.

>>717430617 (OP)
Don't bother fighting games are dead, killed by the same casualization that made the shitbox usable.

>>717430617 (OP)
Haute is a great deal for entry level leverless, and you can save a bit by ordering from their official store on Aliexpress if things are still the same as a couple years back. I got a now old T16 from them in 2023 for $80 that's better feeling than a lot of "real" fightsticks I've bought around the $150 range. My only complaint since then is the acrylic can creak if you bend the sheets being dumb if you go that route instead of their metal options

You'll need a converter of some sort if you intend to play on PS5 at some point

>>717435712
fighting games are literally the most popular they have ever been since like sf2 and tekken 3

delusional

>>717436293

bigger than ever bro bigger and greater than ever bro, causalizing and making them accessible was the right move

>>717436553
You are maybe the biggest retard of all time

>>717436735
They actually think fighting game players are fucking stupid don't they? They also bumped the SF6 numbers by 110k views lmao. Nevermind the fact that videos get less traction when time passes, nope.

>>717435712
The good thing is you don’t have to play casualized slop

>>717430617 (OP)
i can't believe the FGC let these gain a foot hold. even CoD has more integrity than to normalize playing with a Chronus. fucking clown organization.

>>717437019
It’s effectively a keyboard

>>717435712
trvth nvke
the astroturfing is failing
the artifical "hype" is unsustainable in this environment

>>717437019
it's not the FGC is the garbage modern games that are built for pad. Remove the macros and the shortcuts and it becomes a piece of plastic.

The FGC doesn't even exist anymore

>>717437019
Hitboxes ended up being a fucking nothingburger though. People were still winning EVO with normal ass PS4 controllers. Because surprise surprise, your controller of choice doesn't actually mean shit, your skill does.

>>717436667
Most EVO entrants in history btw

>>717430617 (OP)
I think it's funny how expensive these pieces of shit are when it's literally just a slab of plastic with a tiny amount of very cheap arcade or keyboard buttons on it. They are cheaper to make than an average 30 dollar chinkshit pad or a 20 dollar keyboard and they charge hundreds.

>>717437048
if it was just "effectively a keyboard" than 75% of the marketing behind these things wouldn't be that they provide a competitive edge over players engaging with the genre natively.

>>717430617 (OP)
just build one.
either a BnB kit or one from FtW.
no soldering needed if youre afraid of that.

>>717437151
Delusional, dead genre numbers. SF6 is the only one that has dead genre numbers because japanese are shit eaters. The other games are dead DEAD

>>717437259
schizo

>>717437167
so why arent you making them and selling them for hundreds. you'll be making a lot of money off from that, right?

>>717437151
>lower daily concurrent than fucking Left 4 Dead
this genre is so washed that it's unbelievable.

>>717437259
fortnite destroys this dogshit btw

kys. immagine cutting off your joystick

>>717437198
That’s false advertisement. They’re more comfortable and make it feel more natural to play charge characters but that’s it. I got one because my hands get tired with stick or pad.

>>717437450
gender-affirming box. lever surgery.

>>717437019
this >>717437150. the last three evo finals were
>stick vs pad (stick win)
>stick vs pad (pad win)
>hitbox vs pad (pad win)
if stick and pad are good enough for the best players in the world they are good enough for you to get out of gold 3 or whatever the fuck

>>717437338
Just admit it, casualizing it was a huge mistake. No one wants to play modern fighting games , no one is going to evo, no is watching evo anymore.

Actual clownfiesta.

>>717437259
>SF6
Welcome to the wonderful world of Street Fighterrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Thread was about controllers

>>717430617 (OP)
>>717432554
I tested their S16, T16, M16 and M16+ and they all had severe double-clicking issues. It's not something you noticed in fighting games but I like using leverless for other games and it can get pretty noticeable.
I'd like to give them one last chance with picrel but I can't get it off Amazon and I don't really want to order stuff I'm likely to return from Ali.

>>717437604
at what point was a non-casual fighting game hitting these kinds of numbers

>>717437819
the OP is just a suggestion here. the participants dictate what actually emerges.

>>717437547
doesn't change the fact that cheatboxes are for homos

To answer your question OP, I think P12 is good for a first leverless. It has has everything you need and is only about $60. I think the M Ultra is the best if you want a wasd layout because it has really well spaced out buttons. All the models on AliExpress also go on sale quite often. If you plan on going to locals, you may need to buy Haute42's booter5 for it to have ps5 support. There is a workaround to get ps4 support without that, however.

>>717430617 (OP)
the victrix leverless is the best one at the moment

>>717437682
Street Shitter 6 at least it has Juri, Cammy and Mai. More than you can say for Kekken.

>>717430617 (OP)
I actually got that one specifically and it's good for it's price point if you want to learn if you can fuck with it or not.

>>717438283
>Dogshit games are made with pads in mind
>this is supposed to be some kind of revelation
>stick holds up because they are fast and accurate so they don't have to rely on macros and shortcuts
>this mindbreaks the retard that bought a piece of plastic with buttons on it

Are you watermelon challenging me?

>>717438341
how can you possibly defend that fucking dei abomination of a video game? Fighting games are dead. Please leave /v/ and never return.

>>717438283
tekken being won on pad sounds pretty impressive those dudes all play on korean levers

>>717438462
so what leet hardcore gamers fighting game are ya playing anon?

>>717438591
none, i'm just seeing evo and fightan die in real time because trannies and zoomtards infested the genre. 3S last year was ok doe

>>717438702
yea I figured lmao.
punk as bitch.

>>717438591
>leet
it's spelled with numbers or something you fucking retard

>wanting games to be games is now elitism because mentally based tranny wants to play guilty gear

ok lmao

>>717438523
I'm not defending it I'm just saying that between the DEI shit, it hasn't forsaken sexy women. I mean sure, initially Cammy had a shitty woke redesign but then they added her original design to the game and Juri looks the best and sexiest she's ever looked.
Kekken on the other hand may have less alphabet nonsense but it also completely desexualized all the female characters.
If I HAD to choose, I'd rather put up with one gay nigger and a tranny as long as I had my sexy girls.
Similarly, my actual and only real issue with Strive is that it censored the female characters, I don't actually care about Bridget or Testament.

>>717438906
not always.
trust me lil bro, I was there.

>>717430617 (OP)
All Hautes are basically the same; the differences between models are only cosmetic, like the switches are the same. The T13-T16 (the same model as the S13-S16, but larger) is the most standard model available. But if you want another model is ok, the price isnt that different between them

Anyone ever try one of these brr capsule toy lever tops? I just like the look of it

>>717440197
I play on a regular ps5 controller

>>717434310
fighting games have the oldest playerbase as a function of how strong legacy skill is for the genre, as a result people are resistant to trying new peripherals because you have literal 50 year olds that grew up in arcades and just want a reliable stick and nothing more

>>717438754
anytime you ask one of these faggots for their fightcade they go quiet as well lmao

>>717438462
Some of the best BBCF players in recent years have all been pad players. In fact, the current best player who just won EVO (among other recent offline tourneys) is running Carl on a pad and Carl is probably among the all time most difficult fighting game characters.
Face it gramps, sticks have always been a meme. There is literally no reason to opt for a stick in current year over a pad or leverless.

>>717440709
Not true anymore now that video games are made for zoomtard retards

>>717430617 (OP)
I got the M 16 Ultra recently. Haute's stuff is really the only option if you want to spend sub 200 freedom bucks. I have only just started learning leverless and traditional fighters in general, so I kind of don't know any better but the build quality is good and the software is slightly complicated but also good. The included switches to me feel a little cheap but I'm used to tactile switches on a keyboard so possibly just bias on my part.

>>717440197
>using a butt plug top
ishygddt

>>717434321
This is a fucking meme

It's too expensive for shit made in Indonesia, literally a scam

Not even Korean or Jap arcade stick makers charge an absurd premium

>>717438283
did they finally improve it?
i wanted to get the white PC version but it's japan only

All the champs are using stick, leverless is a noob trap.

The Hori FC will get you farther in rank/tournaments than a trash leverless.

>>717440197
finally, a stick designed for trannies, maybe the chinese slab meme will finally die

>>717443826
>All the champs are using stick, leverless is a noob trap.
safe to say leverless were astroturfed to hell

>>717431932
They can give you carpal tunnel syndrome.

a f500 elite with a legit sanwa jlx or jlf ver 2 with sanwa buttons are better than chinkshit hautes

>>717430617 (OP)
How are these things better than a controller or even a normal joystick? These things look like a keyboard with less keys.

>>717431932
They actually do hurt me when I use them for a while.
>>717430617 (OP)
I have an actual hitbox, I think I like it the most because of the classic arcade buttons they use. I also have 2 haute42s because they are pretty damn cheap, and I use them for portability.

>>717438283
Bring back 6 face buttons, Sega was right all along

>>717438283
This pad is trash and I guarantee you the people who took it to EVO are all on their 5th or 6th purchases of it by now.

>>717444456
Objectively faster motion inputs than stick. Also better control over your character's movement. Pad is on the same level as leverless really but for me Leverless is MUCH less hand fatigue. I also get a swollen thumb from sticks or doing slide motions on d pads after long hours. You're correct about the whole keyboard thing also, some models even use literal wasd placement.

get hori nolva ps5 if live in europe. they dont sell it to us&a for some reason.

>>717443826
leverless that won a billion dollars

>>717445726
It's only saving grace is that you won't need a usb stick sticking out to use this thing since it's PS5 supported already.

But you can't customize it like those Chinkshit Hautes.

>>717445601
wrong in every single way btw. Stick is able to do 1 frames with ease.

It's only functional because modern games and sf6 are disfunctinoal

Never trust a tranny with a leverless.

>>717430617 (OP)
>buy leverless. Kitsune to be exact
>holy fucking shit this is both terrible (can't move for shit on it) and amazing (can do combos much easier)

>>717448789
This. It has it’s used, it’s really just digital with some fucked layout

>>717448984
Its uses* immediately Google makes this an incorrect statement, glory be

I'm locked in.

using an peripheral that's not officially licensed is a liability

>>717450223
what's a good ps5 hitbox

>>717450267
NTA but:
Hori Nolva
Victrix Pro KO
I don't think using 3rd parties is a big deal. The biggest worry is probably additional input delay from using an adapter. But I have heard good things about the new brook wingman model.

>>717450223
This aint the ps2 era anymore lil bro

>>717452635
Considering that the switch 2 will brick itself if it thinks you're doing anything nintendo says 'no no' about, it's gotten worse

Gone are the days of NES/SNES/PS1/PS2/PS3 games of 'who can get the most jank controller'

>>717453897
I'm not a tendie so I don't care.

>>717453954
I don't know what that is but you were trolling so I had the urge to help you post factual information, sar.

>>717454182
I accept your concession.
