Best cheap leverless controller? hautepad g13 - g16 review (now Sehawei fight stick)

[@callumjames6726]

Only just started getting into fighting games recently and i think youve done an excellent job explaining the controller and that its somewhat new-player friendly so thanks a lot and ill defo be getting this now!

[@YoukayTV]

thanks so much for the feedback, as a new youtuber this means the world to me, good luck in your fighting game journey, and have fun!

[@DizzleTheDad]

Very descriptive, and excellent video quality. Hope to see a lot more from your channel. 🤘🏼

[@YoukayTV]

Thanks so much bro, appreciate the feedback!

[@thygrrr]

My GF got me this for my birthday and we also tried the larger T16 controller which is the size you "expected". We preferred the smaller one, especially because of the keyboard switches (I already exchanged the directional ones with some I had lying around). The large pad was really cool too.

[@YoukayTV]

yep the more i use this little one the more i enjoy it, really great little product!

[@dieselviper7811]

You convinced me I’m getting me one right now

[@YoukayTV]

awesome, let me know how you get on! still hard stuck orange ranks in Tekken 8, even the hautepad cant help me LOL

[@MrEpicWinner]

It is a great device. In tekken though the technique of rapid scratching the lower tip of buttons for quick KBD won't work. The caps fly off the buttons.

[@Edooongular]

@@MrEpicWinner would there be any negative effects to just supergluing the caps to the switches? I'm not too fond of the idea of caps flying off

[@MrEpicWinner]

@@Edooongular actually I found a better solution - just get different switches. I got OUTEMU OTM half height switches. No popping off with them at all. They are cheap.

[@Edooongular]

@@MrEpicWinner awesome! I’ll look into them.

[@Why-o8o]

Got the G16 as my first coming from ps4 pad, still getting comfortable with it but I love it

[@syguyrox]

Nice review, I've been thinking of picking up a Hautepad recently!

[@YoukayTV]

Hey thanks! it's an awesome beginner pad, think the haute 42 brand going to be huge in this market with their price > performance leverless controllers!

[@Thana]

Just as a future tip, when pulling switches from a board, you should insert the puller on the sides of the switch. In just about any switch there should be small pins that when presser inwards with the puller make the switch loosen up and come off easily.

[@YoukayTV]

I actually edited about 10 seconds of me fighting to get that switch out, it was in there real good and tried at every angle imaginable haha, wasn't anywhere near as bad on the other switches, that one was just super tough!

[@FriarHavs]

I just bought this yesterday. Got the G13 so i can bring it with me.

[@YoukayTV]

nice! it's super portable, enjoy mate!

[@FriarHavs]

@@YoukayTV thank you! Hoping to play tekken 8 since the game is or was on sale.

[@classicalvin]

Dope review! Just picked one up. For your inquiry about whether this layout is good for 2D fighters, I own a converted Panthera + Hitbox and mainly play DBFZ, so this format definitely works :)

[@YoukayTV]

Hey thanks so much bro! yea the more i dove deeper after i published this review the more i learned how leverless is taking over the entire FGC lol, hey at least I was honest and said it came from a noobs perspective! lol!

[@user-eu5ol7mx8y]

Nice review! The WSAD buttons are very close to the rest of the buttons, looks like you need to keep your hands close together, does it cause discomfort or does it feel ok?

[@YoukayTV]

Thanks bro! nope, ive got big fat hands and its super comfortable, especially with a wrist rest in a normal typing type position, can game for hours with it!!

[@Syxic]

Picked one up on sale for 40$ shipped, excited to try different switches as a keyboard enthusiast the full size hotswap sockets are a gamechanger compared to most other leverless style controllers that only offer low profile sockets.

[@YoukayTV]

40 bucks is a steal, nice one mate!!! even if you end up not using it for fighting games, its a cool looking macropad and that price is amazing!

[@begaxo]

nice rview man!

[@YoukayTV]

Hey, thanks so much!!!

[@Auris_Tv]

im big fan of silent clicks any way to change that or ?

[@YoukayTV]

yep, can put in any keyboard switchs you like, linear or tactile!

[@KillingMoon_]

I like how you say Amazon...Amazin lol amazing!

[@YoukayTV]

Bit of a strange accent now I think 😂

[@gixj5373]

thanks for the video, I'm probably gonna get this now but before I do I noticed that some people get the converter with it? what is that used for? do I need one when I'm playing on pc?

[@YoukayTV]

hey buddy, no that's just for connecting to different consoles, for PC, this is literally just plug in, set keybindings in your game, and play!!

[@gixj5373]

@@YoukayTV got it, thanks a lot!

[@jurkey6482]

what's the difference between the g13/16 and the s13/16 ?

[@YoukayTV]

g13 and 16 is just the number of switches, the g16 has 3 more buttons than the one in this video with 13 bottons. not sure what the S13/16 differences are other than the location of the mini screen? look very similar to me lol

[@jurkey6482]

@@YoukayTV ahh thanks. I was actually asking about the difference between the g and a series and after a little searching the differences seem to be the switches and the input screen locations. ig the extra up button is also moved over slightly on the g series to accommodate for the screen

[@noway2451]

@@jurkey6482 You are absolutely correct. The G series has mechanical switches the S series does not. Other than that its just weight and screen placement.

[@eatereater6312]

Does anyone know how to connect this to a switch?

[@YoukayTV]

check out this reddit thread has some troubleshootig ideas: www.reddit.com/r/fightsticks/comments/1b8uei5/haute42_not_working_on_nintendo_switch/

@@YoukayTV you have made my day sir, thank you 🙏🏾

[@YoukayTV]

awesome bro, glad to hear it!!!

[@stevenrivera531]

Does it work on Xbox one ?

[@YoukayTV]

I don't believe so, its listed as ps3/4/PC - there may be an adapter to make it compatible with xbox though! look into the mayflash adapters, hear they make good affordable stuff

[@messitup]

hmm got it for $54 USD on amazon today:P

[@YoukayTV]

good stuff, enjoy it mate!
