    After much thought, I think the DK Bongos might be the right controller for me. Thanks Stage Ham :) 👍

    • The main advantage of playing on pad is that you can hold it behind your head whenever you’re feeling silly.
    • The main advantage of playing on stick is that you can lift it _by_ the joystick to show other people how you’re cool and don’t give a f***.
    • The main advantage of playing on leverless is that, if you’re ever at a tournament on a snowy mountainside and suddenly there’s a massive avalanche, you can use the controller as a makeshift snowboard and ride to safety.
    All great options, IMO.

      The main advantage of a joystick is that they tend to be heavy and you can use it for self defense. Obviously.
      It's why it's called an "arcade" stick. 😆

      I genuinely prefer retro games on stick and more modern games on hitbox
      I have a hitbox already but I wanna grab a stick so I can switch between them for each game and sometimes even characters (istg Makoto 3s feels clunky on hitbox and I don’t know why)

    If you do already have a leverless with the types of switches the Snack Box Micro uses, I'd highly recommend trying out the pink, 25-gram switches. As long as you don't have problems with accidental inputs, the light switches really make it feel much more responsive. Plus, it's only a dollar per switch, so if you don't like it, you can put the default ones back on.

    Note from someone who uses the MPress: do not buy the first version mpress if you see a listing for it. the one that has a regular type c port soldered onto the board. the usb port is not very strong and liable to wear out and start dropping your connection frequently and it sucks. I had this happen to me and so I ended up having to replace the main board and the issue came back after a year or so. The MPress V2 and any of the special editions for events have all solved this problem and are great

    Getting a leverless is the best thing that has happened to my fighting gamer facet. It was really a gamechanger, a lifechanger: not only my wrists and thumb stop hurting, but my inputs got way more clear and I become able to do hard combos I have never dreamed of before. Pad is almost ok but never enough; stick was an awful, absolute waste of time, money and spirit; leverless transformed me in a true FGC tribe member.

    I'd say the two biggest things for leverless are knowing if you want keyboard switches or arcade buttons and form factor.
    If you don't know, go for switches, they can be replaced more easily with more options, in terms of size ask yourself if your cool with sitting exclusively with your legs together while you play.

      @@destroyermaker honestly main thing is just finding the right switches and button caps for you. I switched over to a snackbox micro from my fullsize snackbox for most things recently because its easier to just pull out on a whim when I want to play and with the right switches and convex button caps I was able to get it to a very similar feel to the arcade buttons on my full size. Main things you want to look out for are the switch type (clicky, tactile or linear) and the operating force (how much force is needed when pushing the button)

    I recently got the Victrix Pro FS-12 and I love it. It was a bit much cost wise but I figured if I was going to get one for my first one I was going to go all out on one. The only thing I disliked about it was how much of a pain it was to switch out the buttons but that was only a one time problem (hopefully). I like the weight of it I like feeling like it is not going to move around when I get a bit carried away hitting buttons. I will never go back to a stick it is so much more comfortable on my hands since I am a bit older now I feel it when I play on a stick for long hours at a time.

It is _expensive_ though, and since the chassis is sized for levers it’s thicker than a leverless needs to be.

My personal favorite is the kitsune, but in terms of practicality the snack box is good since it’s easy to replace parts. Razer does not sell parts, so you may have to contact support and work it out that way if something breaks. I hope they change that because it’s a bit frustrating.

    I bought a Haute42 T16 around 2 months ago. 80€ and this is my favorite despite having and RAP Hayabusa IV Switch/PC and a Qanba Crystal. But since I started playing Tekken I prefer stick over the T16 for it, so it's really up to preference depending on the game.

    I have a Hitbox. It now has a converter that you can buy for PS5 play. Biggest drawback is the proprietary cord it uses. Might look into a different leverless simply for that fact. It does the job for now. I do like the beefy-ness of it although I had to switch the buttons out. They felt too soft for my tastes.

      I ended up liking the Haute more than my snack box. The concave buttons weren't doing it for me, and I sorta liked having the whole button outside the enclosure compared to what was going on with the Snackbox. Something about the default setup of the Haute madeit way easier or me to it half circles without missing the last ring finger back input for some reason too. Just my personal experience with it.

    As a crusty old dude in his mid 40s I've started to notice over the past few years that my hands hurt a lot using controller for fighting games. I did a bunch of research and ended up building my own button box with the Brook PS4+ audio board. While I'm still old and crusty, I can now keep playing because leverless controllers are so damn comfortable.
    Once you get over the funky direction layout brain fuck it's actually really easy. But then again I play charge characters and as you say, the leverless makes buffering a dream.

    A lot of these are very pricey outside of the US for shippong reasons, as someone from the UK, of you want one I could reccomend looking into either the okiboard from okiboard arcades (very similar to an mpress, uses brook boards so you can use built in ps5 compatible versions but need firmware, or use a converter.) or furin arcades for a very cuatomisable but pricier experience.
    (Edit: I only have used the okiboard but its very good, similar soze and weight to a laptop so reasonably portable, I like the buttons and it stays in place pretty well on my lap)

    For anyone looking to try leverless moving from stick or pad, a couple notes from when I started using a Snackbox Micro:
    -Specific to my case but if you are a more physical player that moves you may notice your leverless sliding on your lap, would recommend trying to be more deliberate and less aggressive with your movement inputs.
    -YOU DON’T HAVE TO SIT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE SCREEN THERE IS NO STICK GATE TO WORRY ABOUT JUST KEEP GOOD POSTURE
    -practice tks, half circles, and this is an ask, but full circles as well. For full circles specifically I recommend trying to hide them behind long lasting normals until you succeed, moving on to a faster normal, and repeating the process.
    -Sound is key when learning directional inputs. Oftentimes when I’m playing with friends I am literally listening to my movement inputs coming off my Snackbox (specifically for Jubei installs in BBCF lol) cause I’ve learned what it sounds like to do the input right.

    I got a Haute S13 because i didn't want to drop 200+ dollars on my first leverless. I played on it for the first time last night and it seems nice so far. The buttons are much quieter than my Qanba and sound like a mechanical keyboard. My only complaint so far is that it has no rubber feet on the bottom so it can slide around on a desk quite easily, but that's a very inexpensive problem to fix. It's also reasonably comfortable to play on my lap.

    Another option, if you're the handy sort, you can make your own! This is what I did because none of the options on the market at the time really fit what I was looking for. All told it was about $190 for me in a chassis, 16 top of the line Qanba buttons, bulk wire, some spade terminals, and the 24mm and 30mm drill bits. Put it all together with a Brook UFB I already had in my stick and got my perfect leverless controller for much less than what a normal Hitbox cost, but with significantly better buttons and a layout that fits me way better.

    I don't exactly have small hands, and I would definitely appreciate something that's supposed to sit still on my lap having some weight to it, so I think the MPress would be nice for me if I ever decided to take the dive and go to a tourney. As for PS5 compatibility, I'm not exactly afraid of tinkering with my tech, and the whole mid-tournament update thing isn't something I think would happen often.
    My only gripe is the lack of some kind of non-slip base, but it's nothing a rubber mat and some glue can't fix. The nice thing about these kinds of controllers are how easy they are to personalize, the overall shape is way simpler than your typical pad. The hardest part might be finding the right adhesive for the job.
    EDIT: I just got to the sound test and I like the MPress the best here too. It's perfect.
