[@Haute42Gaming]

it is our honor to let you have them! What made us more flattered is that you made this review,this is awesome!

[@Dark-qg4kb]

Hi haute42, I'm new to all of this and I'd like to order the T16 to go to my first tournament. Thing is, there's that rule that says "Joysticks, pads, arcade sticks with a timeout are forbidden". Idk what's timeout and I'd like to know if this controller has timeout (don't want to blow 90+ bucks for a controller I can't use).

[@Krackerjax]

Any plans to make an M16, but as big as the T16? That would be PERFECT! I would buy it day one!!!

[@bwnzix]

@@Dark-qg4kb you need to buy a dongle/plug in a ps5 controller to authenticate the T16 with the console

[@SammyEatsYourBrain99]

id love the p12, any Info when it will be released?

[@kylehuntxr]

Proud of what you guys have done for affordability in the space. And the quality is great. I still need to get my hands on one. Any chance you’d consider a 15 button option? Basically one without the extra jump on the left side 👀 would be perfect for me 🤘🏾

[@outthefryinpan]

thank you for putting more light on these amazing products. people need to see this!

[@MSk1583]

Been using the s16 for like a month now, super glad that I bought it cause it mimics my keyboard layout perfectly with the extra buttons (numpad 7, 0 location). Currently looking to get the b16 too but its sold out everywhere atm. It also works with ps5 if you buy the passthrough dongle, overall its very cheap compared to something like kitsune.

do you use it in your lap or on a desk?

[@EspadaKing777]

I got myself the M16 really recently, in an attempt to save my keyboard from damage with the constant hitting of the keys, and I love it. It's just large enough to be comfortable without being massive and arcade stick size. It has a similar profile to the Razer Kitsune but for 1/3rd of the price. I'm so glad these lever-less controllers are having more people make them and becoming more affordable, I could never justify getting a Hitbox to myself! xD

[@Plantids]

There’s some weird bot behavior in this comment section. Lots of Haute boot licking

[@voidandnon-2530]

I've had mine for about 2 months now and I love it. Cheap AND quality.

[@Pseikoh]

My favorite thing about leverless controllers is that it's nearly impossible to get any in Europe that work with the PS5 unless I want to go broke, love that

[@TheDevilex11]

fr I just went broke with the kitsune, literally nothing else I could get

[@Samsunaattori]

I looked around a bit and Ultra Arcade sells leverless controllers and they ship from EU, when choosing a product you can choose which board it comes with it, but PS5 compitable boards still cost more. You can get a leverless for a PS5 for a bit less than 200€, still not cheap, but cheaper than Hitbox or Razer Kitsune for sure!

[@erasmoflamarique5408]

It sucks that you can't play PS5 games but they tend to work with PS4 games on PS5

[@TheOm4n]

Yeah, its even worse when I play on Xbox in europe

[@harrylane4]

Guess it’s time to get buildin’

[@HighfireX]

I can attest, the hotboard mixbox one I have been using for PC no issue, and most importantly affordable. Never pay big bucks for a hitbox again.

[@Vespyr_]

For those with the T-Series and S-Series controllers, I HIGHLY recommend the LoFree Tactile Phantom switches. They wobble less, and have a nice subtle but thicc activation at the top of the press so that you can FEEL when the switch is activated BEFORE bottoming out the button. You don't need to slam dashes down to know they've been activated, making dash attacks and sidesteps more consistent. It gives it a deeper, chonkier sound too.

[@Sunny-ja]

really wanna try these out, are their any sellers that sell in a lower quantity than 90 on amazon 😅

[@IceManP23]

​@@Dark-qg4kbthere is a timeout,read the manual on how to fix it,i dont play ps5 so havent had to do it

[@felisk4304]

I got the T16, and I came here to say something I haven't seen anybody talk about because it's not a "problem" content creators have! For the people who are new to the fighting game scene and started on a keyboard (because you didn't want to buy expensive equipement) the switch from leverless to the (WASD+Spacebar) mapping is SOOOOOOO much more ergonomic. That little curve the buttons are on perfectly match your hand shape and make special inputs so much more consistent. I 100% recommend (: PS: Sajam, I would also recommend making a keyboard "review" :D I believe you would learn a lot about what people who start on keyboard struggle with. And because you have so many buttons, I think you'll find use for macros (on your thumbs for example) for inputs you didn't know would be advantageous to have.

[@h2_]

More buttons does have a downside you didn't mention - less space for art

[@aymane74]

i have a G16 and its just really good i bought it for 50$ from aliexpress.

[@csolisr]

That's the kind of innovation and affordability that open-source hardware allows, and that makes me so happy to see in action

[@hidoryy]

I don't know if it's the area I live in, but it makes no sense in my mind how hitboxes are so expensive. Like, the cheapest ones are 4x the price of a mechanical keyboard and they are basically the same thing but with way less buttons.

[@SkyYukiGuy]

Yeah being the only manufacturer in a certain niche allow you to charge customers whatever you want. This also used to be the case for steering wheel with Fanatec. Now we have Moza which is similar to Haute42 in that they break through the lower price market with good quality. And that's all you need to break the market. I'm not even interested in leverless pad but now I am because the cost entry is so low now. (I primary use D pad controller)

[@stulls]

Got a B16 and an M16 a little while ago. Honestly they both feel so nice. Highly recommend any haute board if they're as good as these. The only thing i hate about them is that the button (pin) configuration is totally not intuitive. They have a web configurer that's honestly not bad. But they just aren't consistent with how they name the pins (buttons) across the configurer or the guide sheet you get in the box. So u have to kinda poke around to figure out which pin is which button. It's not a huge issue after u get it set up the first time but it's something that i feel like could be improved very easily.

[@BruhY2k]

gimme one im broke and poor

[@LadyMourne]

I bought the G16 as my very first leverless controller and it has become my favorite way of playing fighting games. its addicting to play with

[@lupapupa1963]

I’m thinking about getting g16. Is it not too small for you?

[@LadyMourne]

@lupapupa1963 nah, it's not too small at all. I have pretty big hands and even still I never feel like I'm crowded or don't have enough space

[@elfiankhuzairi23]

make video about their converter for ps5 and xbox. i have fightbox f1 pc, and i think about upgrade to ufb fusion but the price for ufb fusion is too expensive. so now i find alternative'

[@edniarkplayer792]

I promise that guys LISTEN TO ME, don't buy the M version, the color comes off after 2 weeks or if you clean your controller... and the biggest problem is the switch that comes out of the case when you play but the T version is perfect...

[@lukesenseney1045]

Someone at Haute42: "oh no, Sajam had to buy our controller! We must overcompensate"

[@PivotalStudio]

I'm always really interested in seeing all different types of leverless controllers out there, so I appreciate videos like this. I honestly like the fact that haute42 has keyboard-like options. That was how I started on fighting games. Unfortunately I play left handed, so I had to build my own custom controller (using keyboard keys for all buttons with a brook UFB) for it all to feel natural and to basically stop using my keyboard. I even used my custom controller at EVO. I meant to buy another brook UFB while I was there, but unfortunately forgot to. A friend has a haute42 controller, and it feels nice. But I play lefty, so I couldn't get a complete feel for it. I kind of wish haute42 had some lefty options, because I would love to have one and to try it all out.

[@nSquared75]

As another who’s also left-handed, I could never imagine playing left handed with a button based controller. I suppose it’s due to decades of right handed use. I can play joystick related controls left-handed, however,

[@TikTrendToks]

interesting choice of words from 2:00, close ur eyes and listen

[@Flawi]

I've got a T16 and for me, the extra thumb button below the movement buttons is a much more natural position for up than the default. Dunno if my thumb is short or what, but having that option is another benefit of the T16.

[@heroicsquirrel3195]

I bought the s but it was too small so got the M today and its amazing for 117 euros, i figured out that i can have multiple profiles so can have button mapping for tekken and sf6 at the touch of two buttons, the mini screen, the lighting, the build quality, the price, amazing stuff tbh, i made sure to get the M now before it goes up in price possibly 😅

[@unk000]

Nice! What's the button combination you need to hit to switch between your T8 and SF6 profiles? And for those profiles, did you set them up on the local web browser config? Or is it done on the controller itself without any interface (just manually) ? Thanks in advance 😁

[@heroicsquirrel3195]

@@unk000i set it to Fn(function)+up for profile 2 and Fn+down for profile 1, you have to do it on the web configurator

[@heroicsquirrel3195]

@@unk000i remapped my turbo button to Fn because ill never need turbo. On the configuration screen it has 3 or 4 button combinations to do what you want but you can set some to “none” and have less buttons to do the action you want

[@violet_broregarde]

I play Tekken on keyboard but I prefer having shift for down. I really like having the ENTIRE keyboard. One of these leverless controller guys should just make a QWERTY keyboard that's compatible with PS5/XBox/Switch

[@TenjinZekken]

Are they not already? Maybe not switch, but I think Keyboard and Mouse is natively compatible with Xbox and ps5 given they have alot of non gaming uses. I think it's more on the game to support it.

[@optionlV]

With a GP2040-CE there is such a thing as Keyboard Host. You can plug your keyboard into the EXT usb a port and send inputs that way. It's still fairly new and takes up the EXT port, so no PS5/XB1 compatibility.

[@SunderStormK]

You can use a wooting with a wingman or other dongle I believe

[@BarryMcBangerz]

​@@SunderStormK I have a wooting 60he and I'm really considering what I should use for locals, like should I find out how to make the wooting work on consoles or get a t16. I definitely get some pain when playing for a bit, maybe the t16 would help?

[@gdjaybee742]

I'm wishing and hoping someone would have the bright idea to implement controllers like these to FPS games specially for competition games such as CS2 or Fortnite. I'm sure there are people who will roast me for these, but these idea maybe a niche or a big deal, we may never know until someone develops it. I can tell you that the buttons on my S16 are extremely responsive and comfortable to play on because of the very short travel for actuation, a slight tap is very comfortable. I can imagine an FPS controller where the WASD buttons are this responsive which gives you lightning fast controls in fps games. To a lot of people these ideas seem over the top, but when you get old like me, arthritis is a real thing. I am unable to play game pads and any sort of joystick controllers and especially dpads for a long period of time without my thumbs and wrist becoming painful.
