The non-slip pads that it comes with are good for people who play on their desk, but not so much for lap players. Just in case I wasn't clear.

Just as a general note, you've quickly proven yourself to be a valuable voice in the FGC comm, so feel free to keep throwing reviews on here! You make em, I'll watch em!

I have zero plans to ever play on a leverless controller but just came by to say this is a really well done review. Very impressive

Very nice and thorough review! Haute42 is making some super solid, pound for pound controllers. Great job, Chris!

Great review! I actually purchased the smaller version of this last week. It will be my first leverless controller! It's really nice to see some reasonably priced options.

This is a super high quality review，I can feel that your knowledge of hitbox products and GP2040-CE is very professional！！！Thanks so much 😍

Great review christ! Music was nice and chill, editing on point, the camera work was great as well.

Was curious about buying this hitbox, Saw this video, then Bought it as soon as the video ended. Thank you

Great review, Chris. This thing is on my radar now.

Awesome review! Mine just came in! Rushing to the mailbox as I type

Thx for the test. 😊 I have this controller for about 3 weeks now and it's definitely a great one. I was searching a controller about the size of a Razer Kitsune and the Haute 42 T16 have pretty much the same size for a much cheaper price but not for a more cheaper quality. It has even extra buttons. It works also perfectly well on PS5 (natively) with a mayflash key. It works on SF6, GG Strive and Tekken 8 from what I tested. Yeah it's about 20 or 30 € more for the USB key but it totally worth it. The Kitsune is 350 € here in France and the Haute 42 cost me about 100 € with the Mayflash key. It took me very few time to get used to the 30 mm buttons. I was used to the classic hitbox scheme with 24 mm buttons and 30mm for up but it was noy a problem for me at least. I highly recommend it 😀

This is your year bro. Sending you 50k sub vibes for 2024. I already told all my fg friends to follow your channel.

Great video glad hear unbiased opinions on products 👍. I have to say though light mode discord is crazy 🤯

Great review, Chris. I just bought the G16 as my first leverless and am loving the challenge. I live in Japan too, but got English instructions. Maybe they weren't so confident in my Japanese. Your leverless videos are a big help, thanks.

Saw another review for this controller recently. I am jealous of anyone getting into fighting games that wants to use a leverless, because this controller is an absolute steal. I would get one of these as my first leverless

One thing to mention is that while the switches are hot swappable, Kailh Choc V2 only come in red, brown and blue versions with 50g of force. MX Style switches or even the Choc V1 switches that are used on the Snachbox provide a lot more options.

Thank you for this review. I really wanted a Mpress V2 but just couldn’t afford the price for one at the moment. This would be my first hit box so I figure I’d start with one of these first to use when I play capcom vs snk 2. Thank you 🙏

I haven't played a fighting game since Street Fighter 2 on the SNES, but got the itch to play some randomly last night. After seeing some of these reviews I picked up a Haute42 g16 today. Looking forward to it arriving and learning how to use it. Shocked at how cheap it is considering the Razer Kitsune is roughly 5x the cost. $120 vs $600 AUD is absolutely mental.

Nice video dude, i will buy this one as my first leverless lets see how it goes!

Awesome review!

Just ordered this last night. The price point is what sold me. Haven't played fighting games in 20 years, so it's hard for me to feel happy shelling out $200 - $300 dollars for a video game controller format that's been part of the market for more than 10 years. Got super lucky with this company putting this out. I wonder if the 30ml buttons were part of getting the price down. Maybe it's cheaper to bulk order 30ml on the manufacturing end? Works for me. I got big clumsy hands anyway. I'm looking forward to seeing other companies being forced to compete with this price point. Thank you for the review. Wish I had seen it before I ordered, but I'm relieved that it does look like a pretty killer deal. Thirty percent of the standard market price is brilliant. Haute42 is gonna make waves this year with Tekken 8 joining the scene with SF6.

I just got the S16. I'm very impressed with it. Already putting together some art.

After configuring to the passthrough, plug the brook fgc to the usb ext on the right side, connect the usb c on the top side of the t16 directly to ps5. My 1st leverless on ps5 is all ready to go! So far I don't have any complains, I really like it.

I just got the M16 version. Feels very premium. I'm amazed at the quality for the price and shipping was actually pretty quick from China to Canada

It may have been mentioned in the comments already, but the USB passthrough on the side can be used in concert with the PS Passthrough settings in the firmware to slot in a MagicBoots PS4 v1.1 dongle. This will give the unit compatibility with the PS5 and get around the 8 minute timeout issues.

Is there a general consensus on where to put DI and parry yet? Also do people use the parry button for mid combo DR or just hit mp,mk buttons?

Nice review! I just got one recently to try since I've been using my ROG strix scope 2 keyboard and wanted to see if it would be better. Not quite sure at the moment because I'm used to using my right hand on the numpad and having all those buttons. I'll give it a try tho.

Great overview. I'm still confused about the extra buttons because another reviewer said they were linked together and you can't customize them individually. Can you map each of the bottom 2 buttons and the top one to a different keys?

Just ordered one for my girlfriend so we can learn Tekken 8 together. I own a Hitbox and seeing the Haute 42 with it's Size, Weight, and Build Quality as well as better Internals was a no brainer buy.

Thank you for the review and actually giving decisive opinions instead of this milquetoast stuff I've been seeing. Seeing as how all it will take is an adapter to work with PS5 if I ever go somewhere that uses that, this seems like a no-brainer to me. I might also get the Hori fighting commander octa because it looks like a very well optimized controller.

Haute aside just wanted to comment that I love the clean, structured and fluffless reviews.

Got my T13 last week, It's pretty good. I like it better than my fightbox which is the $120 hitbox knockoff. Definitely like key switches over buttons

This might be the final push i need to grab a haute42 as my first leverless. I've been going back and forth on the idea for about 2-3 weeks. The biggest sticking point was whether they are "cheap" controllers or actually a good controllers that are affordable.

nice review Chris

Hi Chris, Are you familiar with the G16 or perhaps if not could you take a quick look at it and tell me if you think youd recommend it just like the T16? what are the cons of the G16 that you dont have on the T16

started to play tekken fo the first time, and now looking into a leverless controller. This looks like a great option, for tekken is the 16 version needed or is the 13 key version fine

Great review! Which buttons did you set for DI and parry?

Hey, after your review I have made the purchase and I couldn’t have been better. I have one question though, maybe a bit on a silly side. I am using the movement buttons in the regular hitbox way - having my right hand thumb on the jump buttons and the left hand on the left, down, right buttons. But I am struggling a bit with the parry buton - having it on the top right feels tricky for my right pinky (under light kick I have DI) so I have been using recently the buton on the left of the jump buton - pressing it with my left hand thumb. Do you think this can cause any executions issuse in the future? I do not want to get i tinto my muscle memory and then relearn if something will not work…

was looking at this but the T13 to get a bigger leverless . I bought a SGF I like it but it is SMALL.. like INSANELY small. I just dont know if I should gt this or like a BNB/AFS.

I bought the T13 one, which is the same one as this review with 3 fewer buttons. I went with this leverless cause of my big hands, the normal leverless are too cramped for me, and after a few hours it will start hurting my hands. The Haute42 Tseries has so much space in the acrylic that you can rest ur hand on it AND have enough space for your fingers to spread fully. I've been loving this controller, and I will eventually upgrade to the M-series, which has even better features and better material quality while having the same layout.

Informative review, cheers! Any thoughts on the Haute vs a Flatbox アーケード (Arcade) or Kitsune? Flatbox is around the same price, Kitsune about 5x more.

WOW this looks so sick! the lcd screen is a sweet addition. i prefer the 30mm buttons myself since i have big hands and fat fingers Q__Q are the button caps 3D printed? i was hoping for pbt or abs caps tbh. great video, thx.

Thank you! nice Video!

How do you set the parry and DI buttons anywhere? I would like to make another button a parry, while still leaving R2 parry, similar to the double jump buttons. Is this possible?

Thanks for the video! Will buy one here in germany. Or maybe the M16. did you compare it with the black M16? What do you think are the main differences? Do you think, you can rest the palm on both if the devices? Many thanks, again. :)

Hey Chris would recommend this leverless controller for tekken 8 cause I want to use a different leverless controller other than my hitbox

I really enjoyed this video and actually went on to purchase this! I am a little worried i might buy the wrong converter, could you give me an exact name of one so I can purchase it? The Wingman doesnt have the Sehawei listed on their compatibility list so I was a little worried

Just bought a Haute pro G16 which is the mini version. I had a couple concerns before buying. 1st. Would it be too small? Answer-not at all. I'm an adult male with decent size hands and it works great for me but due to the layout would also work great for smaller hands. 2. I've only ever used controllers so how long would it take to get used to it? I considered 3 months of heavy practice to be a realistic amount of time to get used to it because it's so different than what I'm used to. Turns out with 1 night of playing I was already at 80% of my normal skill level. I use the bottom jump button which I find faster to switch from crouching to jumping or for example quick flash kicks for Guile. I will say with a fair amount of certainty within 2 weeks I will be at 100%. I would never have thought this possible before but its that easy to use. I found probably a good 50% of my SF2 losses came from missed inputs at critical moments in the round. If you are sick of dealing with that, make the jump. Everything is more precise and faster.

I’d love to see them make this exact board with 24mm switches and the 30mm jump button

To anyone hesitant to learn hitbox after recently learning stick, its worth it. I got to Shinryu in T8 on stick and switched to lever. After a couple days I a have surpassed my execution abilities with the Haute42 T13 and actually even ranked up to Tenryu

I have large hands and seeing the size of the g16 and other hitboxes, even my current RAC-J800B with 24mm face buttons was kinda off putting, so all 30mm face buttons might be nice.

I’m on ps5 but will I need a pc for updates or setting configuration for the stick or the brook converter?

Just got this and I have to say I'm surprised at how nice it is for the price. I had a "FightBox," but I really wanted extra buttons and it's so much better. More buttons needs to be the standard; I can't imagine dropping $400 on a razer kitsune without any extra buttons.

Looks really cool! They should strip that LCD out to cut costs even more. I've got no need for it haha. I may get one of these soon!

I myself have a T16, G16 and M16 so people can use them or borrow them if they're considering an all button controller and considering I've got all 3 of those for just about half the price of the Kitsune they are incredible value really

Love the black sleeves set to Switch mode. XD

i ordered the g16, so the smaller one. Had a few normal aracde fighting sticks, but could not deal with the lever design. Im a pc gamer my whole life, so this might be the right one for me.

mine just arrived, and the glasses/artwork is so blurry on both front and back is that the case for you too?

i have the oportunity to try one of this, the smallest one, i thick was the S16 or something, for like 7 hours in 2 diferent days, and i think the issue with lap players aren't true at all, i didnt feels the leverless controlers slide in my lap NEVER, so ... more reassons to buy it :D, i like stick controllers, but this one is really fun (and objectively better) to play whit

I believe the may flash magicboots dongle will allow you to use it on ps5 it’s currently $31

ok so i own a mayflash f500 and that doesnt have native ps4/5 support, instead needing to plug a controller in to use it on console, would the same work for the haute or would i need a brooke?

I got one and I love it.

How big is the risk for missinputs? I have a standard hitbox layout controller and I would worry to accidentally hit the key that sits below the a button (I often restmy thumb on A and use that for Kara inputs).

I heard this controller may not be CPT (street fighter 6) legal. Due to the number of buttons. Is that true? Looking to buy

I am trying to buy replacement switches and buttons for this. Any sites to buy these or are they all on aliexpress

i have the snack box micro xl and not only did my model not come with the ability to work on ps5, I prefer the haute over it by far. These other hitboxes that keep coming out are just expensive for no reason.

Is there any chance you could get the aluminum one and do a review about that one too?

I bought a cheap "fightingbox" flatbox which is basically just a 12 button leverless. I regret not spending a tiny bit more on one of the haute pads. They seem to be fairly decent. They have a metal version for about $110 that seems decent. But I think my next controller is going to be one I build myself with a right handed stick. I have a left hand one and it just doesn't feel natural to me. Kinda surprises me that right handed sticks aren't more common.

i own the t13 version of this controller and i purchased it for 48 dollars last month and to be honest its amazing for the price , i went from keyboard to the t13 and it was strange at first since keyboard keys are way smaller and closer to each other but after a few days you get adjusted . overall for the price its unreal how good it is and feels , i know people might see it as a cheap crap box from china but no it really is that good

A litle question… All the buttons alredy works with wingman Fgc?

I got one delivered today. If this should be called "cheap hitbox" I dont know what a higher priced hitbox would feel and perform. The g16 is imo a masterpiece for that price!

I just bought this as a stick player transitioning to leverless who plays Guilty Gear Xrd and +R. Wish me luck. I hope this works out.

At 2:35 you say it comes with anti slip (you even show it), and later in the review you say that one of the negative features is no anti slip. Anyways. Great review. Oh.. And the side USB A is used for PS5 pass trough... Which allows you to connect an official PS4 Fightstick or adapter to play ps4/ps5 games on the PS5. So an old Madcatz or Hori might be what you need to use it on PS5.

got g16 and it is a sweet piece of gear

I think this is a direct competitor to the Paradise Arcade Mpress with the similar all 30mm buttons

Is it only worth to buy for Street fighter games or also for Tekken 8?

The extra buttons really worry me. Like i want them but the spacing looks too close to me especially with the buttons being larger (idk if putting slightly smaller ones would feel bad or not with the spacing for larger ones.) On tekken i have a few characters that i very regularly have to hit 3,4 or 4,3 very quickly, and i am ao used to sliding my thumb across. I dont think i could do it without the L3 getting in the way. Also the other button next to up/jump seems... Idk maybe i shld just get better form and use individual fingers for those movements.

Aye what's that carry case you have for the hitbox

Damn it , you made realized I should went for this instead of the t13 (the hitbox layout with a extra mixbox up button ). I just cared about the portability/ playing on a desk and didn't think about I need the extra buttons 😅

Question, do you think the 30mm vs 24mm makes a big difference?

USB A port is for USB passthorugh for xbox one series x s and ps 5 with mayflash fps ps 5 or mayflash magic x for xbox one and series x

Can you lift the top layer to put a picture underneath?

Btw there is ps5 support for this controller, you can update the mb to the newest version which supports ps5

Is it possible to use this controller on Xbox Series X with the Ultimate Flash Adapter?

Any tips on learning japanese ? i've been learning for about a year now

I bought the t13 version with brook converter but nothing is happening is there anything that im missing here?

Extra buttons does not light up for me? can help??

The Haute42 Aliexpress store has different series of these things (sizes, body materials), different button layouts at different prices. The T16 is shockingly, one of their more expensive models. A G16, for example has the same basic layout and components but, is snackbox sized. A T13 is the same size but has less buttons. Both are cheaper with G16's costing less than $50 and G13's being even cheaper. I started off with G16 and after 2 weeks, I trusted the company enough to buy a T16. I could've gone with an M16 (metal body) but, I'm not paying $30 more just to have a fingerprint magnet body (cough, Kitsune...)

Question: can the very top left button be treated as an up button?

i cant seem to switch the input mode to ps4 even with it connected directly into the console. Anyone have the same problem or know a solution?

dear Chris! do you recommand T16 for Cammy players?

Can u change/modificate buttons in this hitbox ?

Большое спасибо за обзор! Было очень интересно.

what is the difference between haute S series and T series ? is it just the size ?

On the site it says switch is supported, but does it work on a switch light also?

I love the size of this controller, but the 30mm buttons are bothering me. Now I'm having a just having an internal war between buying the G or S

metal one is so good they mimic razer kitsune with low budget " Haute42 M16 Black "

The regular USB port is USB-A not USB-B. USB-B is the blocky one often used with printers.

you know whats funny this came out first before the razor stick i got 2 months ago before the razor stick came out lol thats the funny bit

Can I play games like super smash brothers as well as street fighter, or just street fighter. I’m still gonna buy it either way
