Amazing control, small and low profile, super quiet, works perfectly, feels great, incredibly comfy, and it comes with all those lights I don't even use. Fast, responsive, easy to maintain, sturdy, trustwhorthy and cheap. A true gem of a product. I also loved the simple and small cardboard box: I currently use it to keep some extra switches and buttons, a few silencer rings and the tools for piece removal and cleaning. One of my best purchases ever, and one of my favorite objects to have.

One of the best things about these smaller controllers is that you can use any standard-sized paper/card stock to print out custom art that you can change out at your leisure

What's the ways to effectively cut the holes into the custom art for the Haute42?

[@douxiepoo]

same can be said about literally any other controller

[@SergioSergio12345]

Myself and a friend ordered T16s to south africa and with shipping from the US (we're from South Africa) AND a Mayflash magic boots adapter it was still only 3/4 of the price of the ps5 sticks we bought available in our country. Really doesn't feel like a cheap product at all, hats off to Haute honestly. Such a cool device

[@Drake0Everlast]

That kitsune pricing though… Got an M13 instead w/the Wingman FGC. Still less than a Kitsune! But am 100% w you on this (SA’n too)

[@andyj91]

Haute G16 user here, LOVE IT! It makes fighting games so much fun, and it was an absolute bargain when I got it. Wish I got the 12 button though, I'd rather get used to button combinations than having extra button shortcuts.. I prefer simpler things, but as it is now it's better to use the extra buttons than to ignore the extra clutter. [edit] Nevermind what I said here, I realized that for SF6 for example, having a Drive button near the thumb is much better than doing the proper button combo.

[@doomboh]

I use g16 and I love it. I put half height switches in it and they are much more comfortable. I just use the two extra top buttons as an easier to hit start/select, it's way easier than hitting the small buttons.

[@MRCollier1982]

[@StandardsFtw]

I just got the T16, and I can't recommend it enough. I've owned half a dozen sticks, a couple leverless, and this one is the best by far. Even compared to my $200+ Hori Fighting Edge. Decent build quality, looks good, feels great. I was worried I'd miss my sanwa buttons, but the switches feel great. As a nerd for customization, the T16 is amazing. I am speaking from a PC-only player perspective of course.

It’s great that the controller landscape is currently so good. It was extremely hard to get any kind of stick when SFIV came out. I remember the war days of calling up GameStops.

[@jblurey2581]

I recently got a Haute42 M16+ (heh, the fact they call it “M16”) and I’m loving every bit of it. I never looked at the Razer Kitsune as it was out of my budget nor did I see the features but I’m glad I made the right move to get the M16+. It’s already warming up to me naturally but I know there’s gonna be a lot more scenarios using this. Thank you for uploading!!!

I ordered a Haute 42 R16 and i am super excited. I noticed that pad after awhile hurts my hand so im hoping that this will decrease the pain somewhat. I also like that this has more buttons then the hitbox.

[@TeeRkee]

Haute42 (Cosmo) did great in the leverless market. Cheap, customizable, many settings. Overall quality is fantastic. I have a M16 since march and I have never used anything else. Competitors even started to reduce their price to align with Haute42 standards.

[@JohnWick2077s]

Why don't you just use the Brooks PS5 converter? You reviewed it a year ago. It's also tournament legal and small to carry.

[@MegiddoTheImmaculate]

The authentication method of this stick is a deal breaker for me. I didn't even think about using a converter on the front end. That would definitely bring this back into the possibility for me.

To clarify only game that has SOCD rules is Street Fighter atm, leaving it out for players that prefer a diff SOCD setting for other fighting games and want to compete in a tournament as well such as myself using the SOCD U setting for Tekken 8

[@RamzaBeo]

I’m using the G13 and TBH even though it’s small. It’s the same layout that all bigger hitboxes use!!! I’m just gonna pull out my 3d pen and just make it 4 inches wider on each side. EZ PZ

[@dagnir78]

they have a pin layout either on the instruction booklet or on their discord

[@ltxr9973]

I have the bigger one, great pad. The web configurator is very useful because I change a lot of the mappings. For example I like to have my action buttons in Tekken all in one row. Remapping buttons is easy but adjusting the LED settings afterwards is quite confusing.

[@darlingimscared]

I've been using the older smaller version and hitbox only layout for speedruns and I've been playing on keyboard for awhile. What I'd like to know is how you can change keybinds so my thumb would be the down button, if anyone knows do let me know 😊 other than the settings hard to find info on these controller's take one hell of a beating I love it! Another side note is that this controller size is incredibly small and the bunched up nature will have you hunching over after a few hour's back ache can easily creep in. Solid buy!

[@Moogle]

sounds like they could make a solid grippy frame for it for people who wants it in their lap, even as an addon. Could probably 3d print one too I guess.

[@oldboone]

I tried leverless...not for me. But I'm glad the prices of these are reasonable.

[@zarzob]

I really disliked the Kitsune because the button layout is really wide. I was getting a lot of execution errors coming from the Snackbox which had a more narrow button layout, and my hands got fatigued really fast. I went with the S16 over the T16 because the S16 button layout is more narrow. Your thoughts regarding the size was a real problem for me, so my friend ended up getting the dimensions of the S16 and making a laser cut acrylic case to replace the original acrylic. This made my S16 about the same size as the Snackbox micro. The case leaves a little space for a booter that's permanently connected so I can take it to tournaments too. I fully believe it's the most perfect peripheral in the world! Great video!

[@proto-jones]

The authentication port is really dope the fact that I can use it on my ps5 is dope

[@anonymous7024]

“This is what your looking for” Happiness has a lot of colors

[@davehoffman515]

I have the T16 that is the larger version of this and it's been great. I swapped out the switches with silent switches and the only sounds it makes now is when I slap the buttons. They do have a product to handle the PS5 auth called the Booter 5 that is the smallest I've found vs the Mayflash or Brooks adapters.

[@simonced]

Lol, calling the magic keyboard a "plastic tray", love it ^^

[@ThatLuckyBear]

This video definitely put this controller on my radar. I've been looking for something to use while practicing Dr Mario speed runs and combos on my switch/steam deck.

[@WT83]

I've got the 13-button version of this. Liking it a lot, although the extra up button (in the WASD position) feels a little uncomfortable to me. I think it should be closer, even if that meant making it smaller so that the center of the button is closer to the down button. I love leverless for beat-em-ups but up at the bottom is too confusing in most of them, so I was hoping this would be the perfect solution for the up button, but it's pretty umcomfortable. Other than that, really nice. I have another cheap leverless (FightBox) but it's too big for me to comfortably use on a couch without immediate wrist strain. With the small haute, it's not an issue at all.

[@StoopidSnot]

[@ToukaTsuwamono]

For authentication, you should be able to just stick a Brook converter in that port so you don't have to carry around an extra controller.

[@RamenHotep]

My advice is go for the G16. The switches on these are low profile and you have limited options to swap them out, and they are a little mushy. The G16 is the same price and you can use any full size switches.

[@Eddie_Makes]

I love my Haute42, fact that I can change the SOCD and have a little image on the screen is enough for me. Dirt cheap too.

[@voidandnon-2530]

I have one of these and it is a great budget option, however it still suffers from the terrible standard layout which places the right and left hand on top of each other. I still have no idea how this became the standard for leverless. I predict that we will start to see more controllers with more space between hands.

[@hteety]

It's standard because flexibility for the up button is pretty useful. There are a number of reasons you might choose to hit jump with either your left or right hand, but you'll never have this flexibility if they're spread any further out.

[@voidandnon-2530]

@@hteety With where it currently is, I could hit the up button and another button not just with the same hand, but with the same thumb/finger. If they gave it just an extra inch, it would still be super easy to hit 'Up' with your right hand, even if you have tiny baby hands. There is zero reason to keep it in this layout, other than tradition. I HIGHLY recommend people take a look at Mavercade devices.

[@hteety]

@@voidandnon-2530 If we're talking about personal preference, as someone with small hands, an inch to the right would be too far to hit comfortably with my right hand. It's both a stretch, and requires me to position my wrist more towards the center, infinitely worse than the current design where the jump is centered, and the buttons are tilted outwards towards the bottom of the controller to make it so that you don't have to twist your wrists as much. Moving that button would both make it less accessible, and ergonomically worse for people with hands my size or smaller, maybe even for those with hands ever so slightly larger than mine. in some cases, especially with older standards, asking why something is the way it is is valid. Keyboards are a great example, since the key layout sucks, and the physical layout also sucks. However, the Hitbox and Leverless controllers are new, and ergonomics is something that is already heavily considered during this time. In fact, one of the big draws is specifically the ergonomics, with many many many people reporting this current layout is what allowed them to continue playing fighting games after using sticks or even pads for a long time. This design likely wasn't based off of but feelings. Afterall, we also have models like the Smashbox for spread hand layouts that also work well. Ever wonder why despite this, the current leverless layout is the norm? Turns out, what works for you doesn't work for the majority. Even when making custom layouts, most pros choose a large, centered jump button, and both hands being in the middle. It's not like a spread layout can't work, smash players who use smashbox, boxx, or any similar device do so in what is probably considered a much more technical game than any 2D fighter, yet we've chosen to adopt the middle jump layout with close hands for a reason.

[@Frenzied_Frog]

Why are there never any mirrored ones where the motion inputs are on the right.

Great controller and software from super cool company at normal human being price. First purchase after keyboard, superb.

[@YellowFellow86]

I bought a Haute42 T13 as my first leverless controller not being sure of the legality of the 16 button. For the most part I am very satisfied with the controller. My only con is it is not 720 grappler friendly. I tried the slide 720 technique for a standing 720's and after a bit of practice some of the directional button caps came off. They where able to be easily reattached but never tried the technique again. Guess I will need to get a hitbox in the future for grapplers.

[@PinePizza]

iirc as long as you don't have a second jump button enabled it's fine. And if you ever worry about legality, at tournaments then you can just always pop out the switch and play as if it was default hitbox layout.

[@huranku98]

I have the t16 and it's amazing I enjoy it much more than the arcade button leverless controllers.
