HORI Fighting Stick Mini for PS5, PS4, and PC - Officially Licensed by Sony

Solid for beginners to fighting games. I have started practicing more on Guilty Gear Strive and this works wonders for my inputs. My friend is a high level ABA and he loves how it feels

The media could not be loaded. Is it worth the money? Depends on what you’re looking for.For me? Yes. As an avid fighting games player with experience using various fighting sticks, I prefer those with octagonal gates, gravity buttons, and an overall premium feel. Be aware that this particular stick cannot be modded or at least not easily. Limiting customization to a square gate and lacking a premium feel. It also feels very lightweight.It’s got a 30mm balltop, 24mm PCB buttons, and a non-Vewlix layout. In comparison, standard sticks typically feature a 35mm balltop, 30mm snap-in push buttons, and Vewlix layout.Pro tip: Swapping the balltop for a 35mm would make a noticeable difference 👍, though the small buttons and awkward hand placement during play may still be a concern.I personally find it more practical on my desk than in my lap.Setting that aside, this fighting stick is enjoyable to play with as it genuinely feels like a toy. It’s plug-and-play and worked great with both my PS5 and PC. My girlfriend loves it as she has small hands and isn’t as try hard like me on SF6. It’s a nice addition to my collection. Where it really shines is if you’re seeking an affordable secondary fighting stick for your friends to use without breaking the bank or if you want a secondary fighting stick to play on a small setup. If space in your setup is a concern… This is the one.

This is my first time ever buying a fighting stick. I recently downloaded a few platform games on my PS5 and wanted to try out a joy stick/fighting pad just for the fun of it. This fighting stick is dope. Never owned another so I can't compare but the quality and ease of use on this device is phenomenal. The buttons feel great and the whole unit is if good quality. joy stick is very responsive. However since it is so small there's a few cons.First, if you're playing on your lap, the unit will slide very easily due to its minuscule weight.Secondly, as I play on the PS5, there is no touch pad or a button you can use to access menus that touch pad provides on PS5 games. If a game you're playing requires you to press the touch pad to access it, you will have to connect your regular controller to gain access, and then switch back to the fighting stick to continue playing. A bit annoying but simple to get around.In summary, the construction, color and materials used are top notch. Literally plug and play. Super lightweight. I would recommend it to any beginners like myself that aren't looking to break the bank for a once in a while use of a fighting stick.

Despite what some reviews claim, there's absolutely no touch pad button on this fight stick, and the back of the box even states such. It's a major oversight because numerous games that you would use a fight stick for on PS4 require the touch pad button to access menus or as a start button. I could have done without the share/create button and had a much more important touch pad button in its place.It's a decent stick otherwise, perhaps a little too small. I might return mine unless I can get more use out of it as a PC or MiSTer stick.

Fair advisory this is absolutely tiny! Especially for adult sized hand. Great for small hands, portability and on the GO, and children just learning how to play arcade games , platformers and even Fighting games. Please disregard another user's complaints about non compatibility in games , that user listed games that "need" 2 thumbsticks for camera and character movement. I played SF6 with this , an entire session of Celeste , tested Hollow Knight , and the Messenger. Perfect for shootemups , beatemups , platformers , metroidvanias , fighters , and all manners of arcade style games. Square gate joysticks , but no missed inputs in cardinal directions and angles , all 8 inputs registered perfect and immediate , actuation of buttons where perfect and responsive and satisfying. Even I with large hands did not feel cramped or inhibited movement.

I bought this with the curiosity of finally getting into a stick pad. I've played fighting games for years and was not ready to pay the 200+ premium of other arcade sticks. I love this thing. Fair price of entry just to test put the arcade stick style. It may be a budget entry and it is not customizable but I really like the simplicity and actually prefer this small form factor. Great first stick!

It does what you need it to do. However it is on the small side. Other than that it's mostly comfortable but a little on the light side. That being said buy it if you just need something simple and cheap.

Seems durable my adult gui son is always banging it hasn't been replaced yet
