A luxurious 14-button Flatbox?! Enter the TSR:ACT HyperCube!

[@miasmic6368]

I saw your comment on their thread and was waiting on the edge of my seat for this vid - I’ve been hunting for a controller for weeks trying to find something that speaks to me. I loved the style of these when I found them and hoped someone would get their hands on one soon for a review. Really wanted to support the independent market. Think I’m convinced.

[@HushMySweet1]

Right on! Glad it was useful! Thanks for watching and for your support!

[@_TRUNKS]

Super happy you like the style, this was a definitely a focus for me when developing the controller, so it means the world to me to hear your feedback! Let me know if you have any other questions about the HyperCube

[@miasmic6368]

@@_TRUNKS I was just about to check out on your site but then saw the Dragon on Etsy. Now I have a tough decision to make lol!

[@Appei473]

@@_TRUNKS Is it available for shipment to the EU?

[@_TRUNKS]

Thanks for the review! For anyone interested, I’m also starting a coaching series on SF6 over on my channel (just hit 1800 MR). I’ll be offering free coaching sessions and also giving away a Hypercube or two for those diving into the journey. Check out the description of my latest video for more details!

[@HushMySweet1]

Free coaching AND free controllers?! Can't beat that! Best of luck with the series and your future controllers!

[@zhenyaloginov]

The big additional button is in a very convenient position for a dash macro. I experimented with different layouts and found out that dashing with my right thumb is comfortable and efficient

[@HushMySweet1]

Agreed, great place for it!

[@sefflikejeff1917]

Love the white body and gold buttons, really clean

[@HushMySweet1]

Yeah, it has a fun vibe. Thanks as always for your support and I hope you have an awesome 2024, Seff!

[@Baps_]

Another great vid. Thanks for the nice and concise reviews homie!

[@HushMySweet1]

I appreciate it, dude! The quest continues to try every fightstick part/controller, lol, so I'm glad to have a few of you regular viewers along for the ride!

[@Baps_]

Your opinions and insight are very valuable! Also you are just very enjoyable to watch. Wish you the best and a happy new year!@@HushMySweet1

[@vthegrigori9137]

That thing looks so clean! I don't need a new controller... I don't need a new controller... I don't need a new controller... 😅

[@HushMySweet1]

V always delivering the positivity. Thanks, dude! I hope you had a great holiday season!

[@mahkeemdehmah10boo87]

I know this is a pricy one but I really hope you'll check the Furin FRS soon, Getting tired of all these flat boxes even tho they are all really nice! Maybe dm the person behind it I heard only good things about him maybe he will send you 1 for a video. And would also love to see leverless controllers that still house full fledged buttons and not just micro switches and caps. I love my SB Micro and use it almost daily but whenever I can I always switch to my other ones. One has Sanwa's and the other Gamerfinger. Some people want leverless but not necessarily a flatbox design and they dont mind sacrificing some of the size of the controller in order to make that happen.

[@HushMySweet1]

Yeah, it's on my list. (And I actually talked with him a longtime back. He made it sound like a review copy could float between reviewers and they'd send it on to the next person on the list once they had it for a couple weeks. So hopefully it still pans out.) Many more reviews incoming! Thanks for watching.

[@Midori_Hoshi]

It's always nice to see more button boxes for humans. Humans have two thumbs and a left pinky. Glad we learned from our mistakes and are doing better now.

[@HushMySweet1]

Yeah, I like that some of these newer layouts cater to all the fingers. Thanks for watching.

[@WarpedByTheNHK]

Thanks again for all the great reviews! Do any of the 14 button controllers have fully programmable layouts? If a game has poor remapping functionality, it would be convenient to be able to change the controller itself instead.

[@_TRUNKS]

Hi, the HyperCube has a fully programmable layout, although this is not exclusive to it though, any controller (14 button or not) that runs gp-2040ce will be able to do it!

[@WarpedByTheNHK]

@@_TRUNKS Oh wow! That's fantastic news. I thought perhaps some of them were intentionally locking out some customization for the purpose of clear tournament legality or something. Good to know they are such flexible controllers since I like to use them on other genres such as platformers as well.

[@HushMySweet1]

Glad you dig the reviews! (And yes, this controller is fully remappable). Thanks for watching!

[@versim5057]

Stock blue clicky switches instead of something like red "linear type" switches like the ones included in most Flatbox/Snackbox Micro-style leverless peripherals is a strange choice for a device tailored to competitive fighting game players, also a foam pad on the bottom could be nice. Very pretty leverless otherwise.

[@HushMySweet1]

Yeah, I love foam padding on controllers, and the switches sort of fly in the face of conventional wisdom (or at least the established norms); however, maybe it helps to set them apart in an ever-growing landscape of all-button options. (Or maybe the owner just really likes clickier switches, lol) Thanks for watching!

[@momo.ru-kun]

I love the design, but don't like the gold. For me it's too flamboyant, but some might like it. If there are options for purple, pink, or teal, I'll take it. Regarding the clackiness and noise on 3d-printed controllers, there's no fix for it. I've tried everything from O-rings, poly-fillers, tape, foam, nothing will fix it. The nature of 3d-print itself is the problem since it has air-pockets inside the infills. I printed a 100% infill, and it still makes noise. The only solution is totally remove the spacing from the board and the printed material like what you normally see on acrylic sandwich-type controllers. But, as long as there's air moving and vibration, it will still make noise.

[@HushMySweet1]

Yeah, if the gold is a dealbreaker, there are plenty of other controller options out there these days so I'm still confident you can find the perfect one for you. Thanks for watching!

[@lupoc.i.4686]

Hey! Great vid, I was wondering what all of the boxes were at the end of the video

[@HushMySweet1]

In order from 3:48, Snack Box Micro XL, resin enclosure Flatbox, Snack Box Micro, Slab Mini, Haute Board Mini, MPress Nano, Mavercade Keeb-Brawler, BeastBox, Keeb-Fighter-03. I have videos of all of them on this channel. Thanks for watching!

[@ChrisStriker]

I think Flatbox-based controllers should include USB-A to add support to PS5 and currently Xbox, but hey, one day it will happen... some day PS: How beautiful those colors look, it gives it a more premium touch

[@kana_emiya]

check out the opencore0

[@hsiangyuchen4198]

Dont suppose they made the modified button cap 3D printer files available for download? The regular flatbox caps are too high for comfortable slide inputs yeah.

[@HushMySweet1]

I don't believe so. :(

[@Itsme55445]

Can you review the Sagak Labs steel box?

[@HushMySweet1]

I have several other models in the wings; it just takes me a while to get a feel for each and cut a vid. I don't have that one currently, but I can try to look into getting it. Thanks for watching.

[@0mnis14sh]

It'd be nice to know if the buttons are domed or just flat.

[@HushMySweet1]

There is a slight taper to the edge, but these are flat.

[@THE1TRUJAMES]

Would you recommend this as a good controller for long periods of play time ? I kinda have big hands and was looking for a leverless controller with 14 buttons but can't find one that's big.

[@HushMySweet1]

How big are we talking? I think this should be fine for most hands, but if you're a bigger person with bigger hands, you might also look into split layouts (Mavercade has a couple different options). Good luck!

[@quicksword75]

Do you know of any leverless controllers that have the same button layout as this but are not 3d printed?

[@HushMySweet1]

Look into the NEW Mavercade KeebFighter-03. It has a very similar layout (with an additional button and acrylic for art), AND you can order it in a premium version that has a metal CNC skeleton rather than 3d printed materials.

[@quicksword75]

@HushMySweet1 Oh awesome I didn't know it had a premium version, thank you so much!

[@Sonickk]

anyone trying to sell their TSR:ACT? its out of stock and im trying to get my hands on it

[@jwlzloff26]

Will it be in stock in Future again or was this a Limited sale :3?

[@HushMySweet1]

AFAIK, they just need to restock and then the plan on continuing to sell the public. Thanks for watching.

[@jwlzloff26]

Thanks

[@FGirao]

wont work on ps5?

[@HushMySweet1]

It won't. You'll need to get a Brook Wingman adapter for PS5 compatibility.
