The hitbox is the best for Tekken, Street Fighter, and other fighting games that you can play with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't be afraid, you will learn it

I was on the fence for a while going from pad to a box to begin with. And then to remove the stick all together was another hurdle to wrap my head around. But after about 2 weeks of about an hour a day of practice in Tekken 8, it's like I have been using it my whole life and now I can hit combos that pros claim to be "over advanced" it WILL give you better reaction time and other than learning how to do joystick rotations with the buttons, it is SUPER EASY to learn as long as you give it a chance and it is big enough to hold on your lap if you want to, but I put it on my desk.

Works as intended slight learning curve but if you're familiar with arcade stick you will learn it in no time..for controller users it will take a bit longer in my opinion. It's fun light wait so easy to carry if you're entering tournaments and traveling. Comes with it's light weight bag which looks and feels cheap but better than nothing. Cables included instructions . I will say that it only works on ps4 pc and xbox. If you want to play on ps5 you will have to buy an adapter that costs as much as a ps5.controller new. So bare that in mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars The controller that revolutionized playing fighting games
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024
I've been a Hit Box user since 2013, so 10+ years and going strong, and let me tell you, I wish I had switched sooner. I had to deal with the entire ordeal of having to carry around a xb360 pad with a converter, since I was a Sony fan boy, to be able to use my PS3 controller back in the days and it was a pain in the neck. Once I transitioned to hitbox I never had to worry about anything else. Not only that, but my umvc3 game skyrocketed like never before and so did every other fighting game I ever played. Moves that were either unintuitive or hard to do, became easier than ever before. Grounded air dashes with MODOK in marvel 3 are not viably consistent on any other device but this one. This controller truly changes how to play the game and abuse mechanics like the infamous POPE select introduced by the Hit Box team.

Even if games have become easier to execute, Hit Box offers shortcuts that are no where near as accessible in other devices or are neigh impossible to take advantage of. If there's a fighting game out there, you better believe there's hit box specific tech for it.

Over the years the product has become better and better. Slimmer, slicker, with even more convenient changes such as the forever lovely detachable cable.

On PC, you can just plug and play. No need to do anything else. I have guilty gear strive, mk11, SF 4/5/6 ultimate marvel vs Capcom 3, Tekken 7 and many old arcade fighting games and this badass of a device just works right out the box.

This is also amazing for most 2d platformers too! I currently beat hollow Knight with it, and trust me when I say this, my hands thanked me for this, as I was initially playing the game with a PS4 pad and occasionally playing with a wired xb360 controller and these were killing me.

Now, the only thing that this device is missing is native support for PS5 fighting games, the Hit Box team is working on it. This is more of a Sony thing than anything else that for the time being has to be worked around with a wingman converter.

One of the biggest plus for me is how responsive and quick to action customer support is. Having said that, if you ever want to give this a go and you're around the Vegas scene during EVOLUTION or anywhere their booth is at, make sure to pass by and try their products out. They are both very sweet and understanding people willing to teach you the ins and out of their products. The team is nothing but a vibrant amalgamation of cultures working hard to make the best out of their job.

When it comes to fighting games, team Hit Box means business. They are hardcore fighting game players, and truly what we call in the fgc, lab monsters.

Just remember, learning a new skill takes time and effort, and learning how to Hit Box is no different, but the reward is unparalleled. I don't think there's another controller company out there with as much technical content on fighting games using their products as Hit Box, so make sure you jump into their YouTube channel and surf through their immense list of tutorials.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Godfather of Leverless. The HITBOX.
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024
The HITBOX by Hitbox Arcade is the pioneer of all the new modern Leverless Controllers. Without the Hitbox, Fighting Game technology and hardware as well as new developed metas would have never flourished with this fine piece of machinery.

The official HITBOX still holds it's ground even in 2024 despite the Leverless scene being very refined with many choices to choose from in all types of form factors and configurations.

Despite cheaper and even pricer alternatives from its competitors, you can't go wrong with the OG.

PROS:

-Highly Customizable/Modable.
-Sanwa Buttons. A Gold Standard.
-Elegant Design.
-Heavy, Sturdy, and comfortable for Lap Players.
-Official Discord Support / Great Online Customer Service.

CONS:
-Outdated Tech. No Full PS5 Support. Requires a PCB Mod or a Brook Wingman FGC USB Adapter.
-Hard to Modify Internals / Customize Art Work
-Internal Cables
-Sanwa Buttons are VERY LOUD.
-Firmwave can be a bit tedious to update and is not very streamlined.
-Proprietary Powet Cable (However, it is very high quality, good length, and highly durable. I honestly prefer it over Type C for how unique it is.)

THE VERDICT:

Hard to reccomend to people wanting to get into Leverless Controllers for the first time when better hardware from it's competitors and even more affordable boards and DIYs are out there from the $70-$150 price range or less.

However, if you love it's size and would love a beautiful controller to modify with Art, it's interface shows off Art Work better than any other Leverless Controller I've ever seen on the market. It'll be hard for people to not take notice of your board whether at Tourneys, a friend's house, or as a center piece at home.

Official Art Work PDFs can be found on the HITBOX Arcade Official Website with clear instructions for prints and customizing via Photoshop.

The Official HITBOX stands the test of time and is still a peripheral that truly changes the game. 4/5!
