BITFUNX Gaming Keypad, Mini Gamepad 12Keys All-Button Leverless Controller Arcade Stick - Supports SOCD & Hot Swap, Arcade Controller Street Fight for PC/PS3/PS4/Switch/Steam with Custom RGB & TURBO

Preamble for context: I'm somewhat of a fighting game casual, I've dabbled for a couple decades (mostly putting over a thousand hours across the entire smash bros series), but now trying to get better at the 2D fighting genre I've flirted with for mere dozens of hours up to now. I began looking into input methods that are more comfortable and enabling than the stock Xbox controller I had become accustomed to. It's worth noting fight sticks don't really give you a statistical advantage, so at this point I was putting in a ton of research just to dip my toes in the hobby.I decided that I would skip traditional fight sticks and just jump straight to leverless as they seemed to offer precise controls and comfortable ergonomics that wouldn't wear down my now aging wrists (woe is me).There are a TON of these things on the market and the sky is the limit when it comes to pricing. I'll admit, what drew me to this guy wasn't only the portability, but the budget-minded pricing.This thing is QUALITY, especially for the price! It's completely universal and is tournament legal with SOCD cleaning modes to keep you from sending inputs otherwise impossible on a lever. It's completely customizable from the keyboard-style keycaps to the switches underneath and even comes with a tool to perform both, making it easy to test out different setups that work well for you.It's comfortable and tactile! I know exactly what my inputs are and when they've actuated, versus the ambiguous joystick controller I'm coming from. It even has a screen to show you your exact inputs and to display what modes you're currently outputting.Finally, it LOOKS great! I literally am just leaving it on my desk even when I'm not playing because it takes up almost no space and the lighting adds to my desk ambience. If you're looking for something to test the waters in leverless controller territory, and are interested in a controller closer to a keebfighter than a hitbox -- try this one!!

I bought this to play smash bros, rivals of aether, and NASB2. It works really well once you configure it how you like it and get used to using digital inputs instead of a control stick.Obviously it's pretty small, a little cramped if you're playing with it on your lap or something. The directional keys on the left specifically are not super healthy for your fingers and wrist for long play sessions.Overall it does what it's supposed to do very well for the price. I'm pretty happy with my purchase.

I was hesitant at first to get this mini fight stick/controller because I'm used to the large ones where you rest your palms on the unit. With this controller lap play may be an issue, but on a desk i had no issues at all and didn't feel it was affecting my gameplay. It is super responsive and the OLED display is a nice feature i didn't think i would need but now that i have it, I reference it a lot.A few tips:I noticed quickly I didn't like the layout of the RB/LB and RT/LT button, it felt backwards. And if you read the manual it states only the KB mode (keyboard mode) is customizable which made me think i wouldn't be able to change it, BUT if you go to the web configurator (refer to the manual), you will find that the pins in the other modes can be changed within the configurator. Using this method I was able to swap the those buttons around.The web configurator should really have a whole tutorial on its own, it seems to be a very powerful tool that gives you full control over what this device can do including customized button combinations for executing your own commands, different profiles per mode, multiple profiles per mode, pin switching, button mapping, and much more.Updating the firmware was a bit confusing if you are not used to using github (like me). I would ask the seller to add "/releases" to the end of the URL in the manual for updating the firmware. The URL in the manual takes you to the main github page for the device, but if you are not used to navigating github it will be confusing on where to click to get to the actual files you need. However once at the releases page the directions are very clear and easy to follow. I was able to update my firmware with no issues. It's literally drag and drop the first file, then drag and drop the second file, and done, whole process took me maybe a minute once i figured it out.I do have one small gripe, and there is like a good 3mm of play at the beginning of a key press before it registers, I'm wondering if that could be adjusted so i wont take off stars for now, I'll post an update if i can figure that out.I hope this was helpful :)

It's inexpensive and works

Wanted to test a set upike this, as getting older it was time to transition off the fight stick. Does exaclty what I needed it to do. Great choice and price for an entry device into all button controlers.

Hola.Es muy bueno, compacto tiene una calidad alta solo que el cable que viene es corto y de mala calidad fuera eso atiende muy bien su propósito,RGB bastante fuerte ilumina bien, los KeyCaps son razonables, pero puedes poner unos de PBT o prisma , recomiendo a todos a buscar a parte un buen cable USB3.0 y más largo y de mejor calidad para evitar problemas.Sí recomiendo comprar sí pero con descuento con cupón realmente el precio lleno no vale la pena uno por el cable dos por las key caps.Chao..

I wouldn’t mess around with any of the firmware updates and whatnot, but just plug and play, it’s good to go. I dropped $40 into mine and it’s a little monster now!

For the price point a very good hitbox, its a little slow and sometimes I put inputs in to fast and it doesn't register them.
