Arcade Stick G16, All-Button Arcade Controller for Switch/PC/PS4/PS3 /Steam Deck, Arcade Fight Stick Game Keyboard with Turbo & Custom RGB, Supports Hot-Swap & SOCD
A very well made arcade controller. Easy to switch between modes (Switch/PC/PS/KB) just hold down the corresponding button when turning it on, the screen will tell you what mode it is in. Has two usb-c connections and a usb passthru. Can reprogram it, switch out the buttons, change the colors, it’s very customizable. The only thing I see is that the labeling and the placement on the RB,RT,LB,LT, are reversed, as it is the right is on the left and the left is on the right, but you can change this. The buttons are very nice to use and smash, they are not clicky, but soft and tactile.
This is great. I was expecting something feeling cheap and would break easily with this being a cheaper option. But no, it is solid, with a resin plate adding a nice feeling of weight.
The buttons work great, and after a bit of heavy use I haven’t had the need to replace any of the switches yet. It was also very easy to configure for PS4 (Just use their Discord instructions).
I did find the USB C cable that comes with it has a very tight fit into the port, but that’s not by any means an issue.
Cuando el juego se convierte en una parte ms profesionalizada y donde las diferencia entre una victoria y una derrota se mide en milisegundos, es donde necesitamos accesorios como este teclado de botones de juego, totalmente configurable y compatible con todas las plataformas.
. El teclado nos ofrece un conjunto de botones totalmente mecnicos, con recorridos cortos y con una distribucin clsica de mquinas arcade. Aunque es posible su uso para casi cualquier tipo de juego, al poder modificar y crear patrones de juego en su memoria y procesador interno. Con una plataforma de metacrilato transparente y un sistema de iluminacin configurable RGB en su interior.
. Disponemos de una pantalla informativa OLED activa en todo momento para informar del uso de cada botn por separado, configurar modos turbo o predefinidos en ellos, adems de poder crear funciones especficas para cada botn y la respuesta que queramos con ellos.
Se ha incluido un procesador de la familia raspberry para el control y optimizacin de todo el teclado por lo que la respuesta y configuracin es PERFECTA y RAPIDA.
. La conexin por puerto USB C duplicado permite colocar el cable en la posicin ms cmoda para nosotros, pero tambin garantiza una compatibilidad casi total con ordenadores, arcades y consolas, incluso las PS4 y PS5 para las que ser necesario seguir algunos pasos previos para su funcionamiento correcto y que la consola no los bloquee como mando no reconocido.
. Cada botn permite configurar en los modos SOCD (Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions) que permite tener control sobre la pulsacin simultanea de dos botones de control opuestos a la vez. Y que en los torneos internacionales de juego deben estar restringidos totalmente y que las botoneras permitan su desactivacin total para igualar a todos los jugadores. MUY IMPORTANTE

MUY RECOMENDABLE y con una CALIDAD PREMIUM en toda su construccin y diseo
I enjoyed using this controller more than expected. It has a lot of great positives and the only negative I can say is that it’s smaller than what I had imagined. I suggest that this should be only used as a tabletop controller and not for your lap because of how small it is. Also keep in mind that this controller does not have any rubberized feet. The company packages small sticky gel tabs for you to stick underneath it but I feel that this could have used better padded feet, so it doesn’t move around so much on the desktop.
Even for it’s size it has a lot of weight to it which makes it feel premium. The acrylic materials that’s used looks very expensive and gives it a top tier luxurious feel to it. The buttons feel great but don’t make the amount of noise I thought they would for being mechanical. Don’t expect these to give you that clicky sensation that you get from a normal mechanical keyboard. I haven’t used this on a PS4/PS3 console, so I don’t know how difficult it is to update the firmware that’s needed. But using this on the PC was flawless.
Lo nico que no me gust es el hecho de tener que tomar un tiempo extra en conectarla a la computadora para configurarla antes de usarse, yo lo compr para consola , si lo compras para computadora entonces no tendrs queja alguna por perder unos minutos en configurarla, habra preferido que estuviera lista para solo usarse al ser conectada a consolas.
Ist richtig gut fr den Preis und man kann damit viel machen, macht nur ab und zu Probleme mit der Playstation und es ist nicht einfach Plug and Play. Da ist man von anderen Herstellern schon sowas gewhnt.
The build quality of this product is super high.
However, I have a problem with it in that I keep getting ghost inputs, where I press one button, but the game detected two button presses. I’m not sure if my unit was buggy/glitching or if the buttons are too sensitive and my finger is just glancing over the other button.
Either way, I returned this and will stick to using keyboard
Firstly, for more info about this model please visit the Haute42 discord, they got all the answers and know-how to this model.
Pros:
Plug and play works on PC.
The hitbox was easily dis-assembled for me to install my decal under the plexiglass plate.
The switches/buttons have a good feeling to them.
Cheap, holds really well for the price.
Cons:
I got this for tekken 8, and 16 felt like too many buttons, 13 is probably better for that kind of game.
Sometimes I input once and it inputs three times. Not sure if this is a trait of the hitbox or a defect.
Upgrading the firmware is unclear (even with instructions), it’s better to visit the haute42 discord and check for the latest firmware and follow instructions through past comments.
Grey-Area:
Very Small, good for travel. Might be too small, though.
For context I own a $250 hitbox and a $150 snackbox micro lite and this company blows them away in terms of customization, accessibility and quality.
Out the box this has 2 extra buttons mapped to L3 & R3 opposite the traditional hitbox jump button in the perfect spot where you can rest a thumb on either. In a game like Sf6 this is huge, because you can set these extra buttons to drive impact and throw. So you always have a finger resting on parry, drive impact and throw very comfortably. Take a look at some of the sf pros like tokido, kakeru and daigo all use modded hitbox controllers with extra buttons so they can do this.
Neither the hitbox or snackbox include software that allows you to remap buttons and this does (if you want to change the configuration of the controller you have to physically open the controller and redo the pins yourself). Why does this matter? My biggest pet peeve is that by default these kinds of controller are set to X, Y , R1, L1 across the top and A, B, R2, L2 across the bottom. Its infuriating because it makes menu navigation in games backwards for no reason and your stuck with it. Except with this controller you can access the web configurator to remap buttons to whatever configuration you want.
Stock the hitbox does not have leds, the snackbox does but to customize them you have to download the JF Connect app on your phone and pair to it via bluetooth. Honestly the app is pretty janky and the low rating in the app store reflects the quality. With this you can use the web configurator to set the leds.
in terms of quality the G16 is extremely solid, the controller has a heft to it and the buttons sound nice and chonky when pressed, very satisfying.
This is straight up the most bang for you buck hitbox style controller period. If you are interested in a hitbox controller i cannot recommend this one enough.
