Sehawei Haute42 Arcade Stick R16 All-Button Arcade Controller 16Keys for PC/Ps3/Ps4/Switch/Steam,Fight Stick for Fighting Games with Custom RGB & Turbo Functions & Hot Swap Black

This is the first hitbox controller I’ve ever had, and the second time I’ve purchased it. 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.

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 :( ]

This is my first fightstick and it came earlier than expected, thankful for that! The packaging was very minimal compared to the fightstick I bought for my girlfriend (8Bitdo SNES-style arcade stick); Just a cardboard box with bubble wrap packaging inside containing the hitbox, USB-C cord, instructions and additional accessories. Very easy to use once you read the instructions! It defaults into the Xbox/Windows/Steam profile so if you’re on that, it’s plug and play! If you’re on another device, I do recommend referring to the instructions. Functions great, buttons feel good after an hour or so of use, input feels solid. Construction is what you expect as the price point and thankfully not too much of a concern. Nothing came loose or broken but you can feel the acrylic cringe a bit if you bend the controller even slightly so I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS CONTROLLER IF YOU RAGE WHILE GAMING. Overall, solid controller for fighting games!

Honestly such a blast to use. Everything came in nicely and love how light it is. Screws came in a little loose but you can just screw it on tighter once you unpackaged it just to avoid losing a piece. Instructions and mapping is very easily customizable. It’s pretty durable but still be careful handling it. Also it passes the lap test too.

This leverless is good for starters. The only complaint I have is the travel on the buttons is a bit long so that can be an issue for some games, not really an issue for fighting games if that's what you want this for.

Like the customization and ease of use. Find works well for games like guilty gear and sf6

I hesitated about the purchase for its price. But I pulled the trigger right before my prime expires, which saved me 1/4 of the cost. It came to me in a plain plastic wrapped envelope with a brown cardboard box inside. But the pad itself and the keys are well made. I only connected it to my PC so far but the response is great and the feel is just there. I initially had some issues with its connection. The seller quickly responded to my inquiry and the issue was resolved. Things to improve: I do wish longer key strokes. They feel somewhat flimsy. I also wish it could be packaged better to avoid any possible shipping damage, though it did not occur to mine.

Very solid purchase and no issues with the buttons. Works on everything.

This thing is amazing - way more features than thought it would have. Top tier build quality, touch and feel is like a premium branded commercial gaming peripheral, but better. The onboard software lets you customise the behaviour of the buttons to suit your game and input preferences. It's not exactly idiot-proof levels of easy to use, but there's lots of tutorials around to make it easier. It also looks super cool on your desk and the little screen is a great touch. I'm playing 2XKO with it and it's fantastic. Absolutely recommend going stickless if you're using something else and give this one a really good consideration.

All’inizi pensavo di aver buttato via dei soldi ma con un mesetto di pratica devo dire che è 10 volte superiore rispetto al pad. Ci vuole costanza ma ne varrà la pena, parlando invece del prodotto devo dire qualità TOP, super reattivo e restistente, ho avuto qualche difficoltà inizialmente con la configurazione a ps5 ma una volta sistemato il tutto funziona perfettamente. La consiglio a tutti

j'avais un stick arcade classique. Et bien j'avoue que le coté "boutton" pour la main gauche est un vrai + en terme de precision

It plays wonderfully, not too loud, nice space between left and right hand. I love the colour options. It makes the trickiest combos easier. No delays, great precision. Very Happy with it.

Works great on my switch 2 with SF6 and on PS5, did have to buy a dongle thing to get it working with PS5, but same company provides the booster usb and that worked great and was easy to fit.
