USE MY CODE “NEET45” FOR $45 OFF!! sgfdevices.com

[@Maevar]

any chance you have a new/valid code for discount ;( the shipping USA > EU is killing me ;

[@Nutsec1]

Why is no one saying how good this dudes video actually is, the editing, great visuals, solid review too

[@yourboyneeto]

🙈

[@ssj4922]

I've owned the Zappa for about a month and man, is this thing a dream to play on. Really glad SGF was there to provide a cheaper entry level hit box for new players like me who's starting to really get into the FGC

[@WilsonsAssociate]

Picking up a Zappa tomorrow and just wanted to say thank you for making it known to me! Recently got super stoked about fighting games again after falling in love with SF6 and couldn't be any more excited to try out a leverless!

[@yourboyneeto]

Dont forget to use my code NEET45 for $45 off bro 😭😭 hope you have fun!

[@HushMySweet1]

Very nice review! And I really dig those music edits around the 1-minute mark.

[@yourboyneeto]

thank you so much!

[@ManateeMentality]

I ordered this controller using a new code for $45 off. I live in California. It arrived in less than 2 days. In contrast, my Snack Box Micro XL took 5 weeks. The Zappa is also surprisingly quiet. Genuinely surprised how quiet it is even though it doesn’t come standard with quiet switches or padding or anything like that.

[@ilypo]

brother your channel is sick, hoping to see it blow up in popularity soon! great editing!

[@yourboyneeto]

I really appreciate it man, maybe one day! I'll keep it comin' with the content 💪

[@MattMcT]

Dude, just found your channel and love your content and voice! Thank you and great work!

[@yourboyneeto]

Thanks a lot I appreciate it!

[@soysaucehairdye7869]

I own both a Hitbox and a Snackbox micro xl and the leverless setup is the only way I like to play fighting games. Its just fun to play with as a proficient pianist.

[@HelloKevinHi]

The Zappa looks so cool OMG

[@yourboyneeto]

🥰

[@kevo7742]

I also subscribed and smashed the line button. Ty for this video. I think this is def going to be an easier transition then the bigger hit boxes. Put it in my back pack and just start hitting the buttons.

[@yourboyneeto]

I really appreciate the support man thank you so much. And I agree tbh lugging around my big hitbox was such a pain 😂😂😂

[@arsonne]

This is a great controller made by a really great team. I've personally played on the new Razer Kitsune and the Zappa and the Zappa buttons are SO MUCH BETTER than the razer ones.

[@yourboyneeto]

I haven’t tried the Kitsune but I heard they use their own proprietary switches which is kinda wild imo. I’m really enjoying the Zappa fr

[@hiero.]

I don't usually look at fight sticks, but I wanna support because this is really good content c:

[@yourboyneeto]

🥺

[@Namurashi]

Those Chun-Li transitions were tasty.

[@Mobilesuit82]

Love the content man you inspired me to make content myself since the days of your neet radio era 😭

[@yourboyneeto]

You got this bro!!

[@momo.maru-kun]

I always sucked at fighting games because of the way I lose orientation of the sticks and d-pad, but ever since I used these... It came naturally to me like a muscle memory. Everything is direct. There's very little error on directional movements and the dashes are bellissimo

[@roastytoasty8559]

exactly why hitbox and keyboard should be banned thanks for being honest.

[@momo.maru-kun]

​@@roastytoasty8559i see being a smart aleck. if that is your argument, then you should stop using modern technologies all together. stop using smartphones, laptops, and use all-analog stuff. it's technology everything evolves for quality of life improvements. go play with your atari.

[@roastytoasty8559]

@@momo.maru-kun sorry but the technology for using only buttons for fighting games were available wen they first released in arcades it would have been cheaper to manufacture buttons over a stick so why did they not use buttons originally? because its not how the game is supposed to be played and the games fundamentals in design carry through to every modern day fighting game and still exist in the structure from decades ago keyboards were never meant to be used with fighting games and the only reason this is a thing now is because the game came out on pc and they would get flack for not being able to use basic pc peripherals for a game released on pc. that is it. marketing and ceo's that dont give a fck about the integrity of the game now days would have said who cares we make more money if we release it on pc. if these games were ever intended to work on keyboard/hitbox the ↘ input wouldn't exist.

[@clydefrosch]

no idea why this stuff is so expensive, the parts, the material, none of it warrants the price apart from not many people needing these in the first place.

[@rodkraft95]

Half of the cost comes from the Brook Board basically. The Bridget is only 100$, which is basically the same thing but only for PC/PS4/Switch. You're paying for the premium of being able to play in a PS5

[@yourboyneeto]

This ☝️

[@clydefrosch]

@@rodkraft95 no way is that Board anywhere near that expensive to design and etch

[@clydefrosch]

And then you're still paying half for plastic and a fraction of the buttons you'd get on a keyboard

[@rodkraft95]

@@clydefrosch I'm not saying that it costs that, but that's the price Brook sells it for. I believe 130$ if you want to buy their PCB that is compatible with PS5, and I think they are the only ones that sell such a board. An that's just the fighting board, not the case, buttons, switches and other components (That, yeah, aren't worth much. But it adds up). That's why I mention the Bridget, which is almost the same thing, same switches and everything for 100$, just not compatible with PS5. Cheapest I've seen someone sell a controller based on the Flatbox with Kailh Switches was one form Aliexpress for 70$.

[@mathewdenboer]

This might be the one I try. Having grown up playing in arcades and with gamepads, I’m unsure of whether I’ll be able to adapt to the differences. Oh well probably can’t suck much worse at SF6 than I do already😅

[@jamalsiddique1362]

love the channel man, great vibes (doom ring means good taste)

[@yourboyneeto]

ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SPELL THE NAME no but fr thank you!

[@justinchin0]

225 is pretty expensive at that point I think I rather spend the extra and go for the razer kitsune. Although with that $45 coupon code it's a bit more reasonable.

[@mellymel101687]

dope review man

[@yourboyneeto]

I appreciate you man thanks!

[@jacariousrobbins7306]

I got one and I love it

[@RobertSmith-tu7rl]

would you recomend have the leverless stick on your lap or on a table?

[@JustOchoko]

I've been looking to get another hitbox and Snack box is always sold out. This may be the best choice for me. Hopefully they'll let you add custom artwork at somepoint.

[@yourboyneeto]

I hope so too! A transparent case with an artwork slot would be so clean. For the time being I think I'll just throw on a couple stickers haha

[@yourboyneeto]

IT'S IN STOCK sgfdevices.com/products/sgf-zappa-stickless-controller

[@ZerkerXror]

Is it easy to customize the front or how does that go? I'd like to get a custom design of my main. Asking as a newbie to this stuff!

[@yourboyneeto]

You could probably put artwork on the top like a giant vinyl sticker. Tbh I just put a couple stickers on the top and called it a day. Maybe they’ll release an artwork version with a clear top in the future

[@SantorgoTheCorgo97]

what is the game at 6:11?

[@RezTheHero]

Would have been cool if they one with the ability for artwork. Lol understand the giant hitbox struggle, got a victrix pro fs with gamerfingers. Just recently got the snackbox micro for portability. That transition with Chun's throw was mad clean like your other transitions. Your editor is insane.

[@yourboyneeto]

maybe one day! also tysm I edited it 🥺👉👈

[@kevo7742]

I just ordered it. Ty. I didn’t even wait to see if you had a code. I returned the Victrix pro 12 because it was too big. Think this will Help me getting use to it being I am An arcade stick player for years. Couldn’t get it and for the price I just returned it.

[@yourboyneeto]

LFG!!

[@babyymclovinn2301]

Bro what's that sf controller you use with the xbox eblem? I have a series x and would love to make the switch to hitbox, that controller you got looks sick

[@yourboyneeto]

It’s an old TE2 with a hitbox conversion ✌️ might make a video about it!

[@babyymclovinn2301]

Please do bro, would love to know how you were able to customize it and how you got the xbox emblem on there, if it's compatible with Xbox and all that, it would be a dope video if you did

[@AdversaryOne]

Is there a WASD version? I can't get used to jumping in a fighting game like I'm playing Super Mario Bros. Don't get me started on navigating menus.

[@yourboyneeto]

Oh man i can imagine 😭 don’t think they have a mix box version yet but who know maybe in the future

[@rklaybeats5687]

Mannnn where did you get that chun li and Mai stick at??? That thing is sooo clean

[@yourboyneeto]

yoo! made it myself years ago from a Killer Instinct TE2, made the artwork and hitbox conversion back when jansens and tek innovations was still around. I don't know anyone making TE2 conversions anymore 😢

[@pmgf911]

NEET45 isn't working for me. Has it stopped?

[@Pencyl]

How does this compare to the fightbox mini?

[@yourboyneeto]

Never tried the fight box mini but as far as I know it doesn’t work on PS5. If I ever review one I’ll let you know ✌️

[@whitekj03]

I could research and find the answer myself, but since this video is great I'm commenting for the algorithm- Does this work on Android? I would assume yes, this looks like the perfect controller for bringing with me to play fighting games on my phone when im out and about.

[@yourboyneeto]

Just tried it out using my Retroid pocket which runs android and it works great!

[@whitekj03]

Why are these things soo expensive. I dont understand how sich a niche device has this high of a price tag

[@michaelcarrig627]

I ordered the Kitsune.

[@yourboyneeto]

looks sick!!

[@SynchroFPS]

why don't you just use a keyboard?

[@yourboyneeto]

well for one I don’t think you can map it on ps5, but tbh I recommend keyboard for anyone tryna learn hitbox controls on PC

[@SynchroFPS]

oh okay that makes sense. Thank you!@@yourboyneeto

[@xXHardRushXx]

225 for a 3d printed controller XD

[@kaizzzzo]

exactly what i said LMAO this is crazy

[@collin542]

I feel that but the upside is that it’s ps5 compatible which there aren’t too many hitbox companies can do for a lower price. At least far as I know

[@xXHardRushXx]

@@collin542 thats probably because the demand is so high for leverless controllers right now. Definitely do not buy this shit that you can make yourself. Especially at that pricepoint

[@tesoufgc]

@@xXHardRushXx how much will this cost you if you make it yourself? brook board Fusion is already 130$ alone.

[@richr161]

Play on pc. Can bring any controller you want. $50 flatbox hit box with a sub 1ms open source rp2040 is where its at. no idea why sony decided to lock down their console

[@yourboyneeto]

Tell that to all the events bro, standard is PS5 and I don’t think it’s going anywhere tbh

[@elfiankhuzairi23]

Huh😢

[@7mzam7md86]

This shit is a scam it is a keyboard with less buttons and and some firmware for +200 usd it is literally 12 buttons on a box

[@tesoufgc]

The problem here is Brook PCB are very expensive, the PS5 PCB is 130$ alone, if you want to buy quality buttons like sanwas it's 40$ more so it's already 170$. Then you have to buy wire harnesses for 15-20$ this adds up to 190$ if you want to DIY and use a shoebox for free. If you want to 3D print your box let's say 12$ if it weigh 500g. By doing it yourself it will cost around the same price as this controller. And that's why when you go on etsy you will find expensive Hitboxes. People don't make alot of money when selling a hitbox for 250-300$ trust me I tried selling some custom made hitboxes in my region and just making them is very expensive.

[@kaizzzzo]

$225 for this pos is crazy lol

[@yourboyneeto]

Definitely not a pos, I’d say the pricing is fair compared to what’s on the market. Esp bc it works on PS5
