Sehawei Haute42 Arcade Stick R16 All-Button Arcade Controller 16Keys for PC/Ps3/Ps4/Switch/Steam,Fight Stick for Fighting Games with Custom RGB & Turbo Functions & Hot Swap

I received the Haute 42 Hautepad R16 relatively fast after I shipped it and man, it was pretty good.It has a pretty simple setup before getting the controller to work with your games. You might have to watch a (short) YT video about setting it up for your first time though as it comes with a piece of paper whose instructions leave a bit to be desired. After that (small) initial hurdle, you’re good to go.If you’re new to these type of controllers, keep in mind that they primarily work with 2D fighting games and if you try to get them to work with other genres of games (or even non 2D fighting games) you’ll either run into poor results/it not working at all.It’s decently heavy but not so heavy that you couldn’t carry it in a bag. Haute typically has smaller, lighter controllers if that’s more your speed.The Buttons are pretty responsive, not much delay between button press and action which is good. The LED monitor in the top left corner (and the LED buttons light up) perfectly displays what buttons you’re pressing. Also the LED lights are *chef’s kiss*. The design of it is slick and slim, pretty cool if ya ask me.I could definitely say it’s worth the price tag, but again if $100 is a money sink that you’re not willing to put forward, this same company has just as good options at lower price points [also might not have the cool LEDs :( ]

The board has lots of customizable buttons and lights. The switches have good feedback and can be changed. There's also a small screen that shows how the buttons read which is great for giving me visual feedback. The discord for the community also has template files for creating custom skins which are easy to add. Great board and was easy to set up. I also use it for more games just to have a more ergonomic controller. Still getting use to it but man does it feel satisfying.

I already had the s16 but I wanted smaller buttons and the left pinky L3 instead of a left thumb L3. Overall it’s a little lighter and flimsier than the s16 but the rims on the buttons feel better. My unit came a little bowed and I plan to get a metal bottom plate made for it, but for the money it’s pretty decent. The software is the same as any other gp2040-ce based controller, so you can basically make it do whatever you want from led configuration to bottom layout so long as you can google. I prefer acrylic tops to the all metal m+ series because I can show artwork, so I think I’ll stick with this even when that comes out. For under 75 bucks I don’t think you can really find an all button controller that’s better with the same features.

Arrived in amazing condition and its so good to play withFor a very affordable price Haute 42 is a godsend

I hesitated about the purchase for its price. But I pulled the trigger right before my prime expires, which saved me 1/4 of the cost. It came to me in a plain plastic wrapped envelope with a brown cardboard box inside. But the pad itself and the keys are well made. I only connected it to my PC so far but the response is great and the feel is just there.I initially had some issues with its connection. The seller quickly responded to my inquiry and the issue was resolved.Things to improve: I do wish longer key strokes. They feel somewhat flimsy. I also wish it could be packaged better to avoid any possible shipping damage, though it did not occur to mine.

Black one broken. Right button is always pressed. However returned and got the white one. Apon asking in the discord. This vendor produces the Black one thus the removal of the Haute42 logo. While the company produced the White one.

Perfect for its price, really took me by surprise. switches are great, the buttons are great, the RGB is top notch, and the setup process is quite easy. One small issue though, the included extra switch came with bent/damaged pins rendering it useless, kinda sad about that but overall a great product. (PS: use the included rubber paddings as soon as yours arrives, really helps with minimizing sliding and prevents it from scratching your table)

I'm coming from a G16 as I needed a bit more room for my hands to rest..and of course, for art. The buttons feel much nicer and properly arcade-like and I've noticed zero latency issues regarding input. I've been playing mostly DJMax and GGXXAC+.My R16 did arrived flexed slightly but, after asking a question I learned that the screws were over-torqued.If yours also arrives slightly bent, here's my suggestion to go alongside it: Loosen them all, fully remove them (the R16 should now be perfectly flat if laid down on a flat surface), then work the outermost ones in first -- use your fingers and a fingernail to gently snug it to the acrylic. If you feel it's still too loose, you can snug it with a flathead -- just be careful not to over-tighten as the acrylic may crack.
