This Quirky Keyboard is a Controller?

The Haute42 B16 is somehow cheaper ($49.99?!?!) than everything else while actually providing a layout that's more flexible! Weird but true. Time to check out this quirky little keyboard that is actually an insane controller.

Literally just needs to be southpaw (reversed) and this controller would be a instant buy for me. So close to perfection

[@YoriYoshi]

I've been waiting for this specific review, thank you!

[@Jer_San]

i actually got this after experiencing leverless with my Haute42 T13.
While I love both of them, the B16 is a better to carry with you when traveling to places but I do need to bring my manual to remember the input switch commands.
Also I love clicky sound buttons while playing.

On around 4:50, I was wondering if you could try the WASD layout but with a wider W key like the long keycap that was included, I'm curious how if it'll improve button ergonomics for stuff like 360 or TK motions, I remember the golden lever people over at ASIndo use a wider W key

Nice review!, when i tried my keyboard for fighting games i was very pleasantly surprised.
Theres a good reason for that, when i tried it first in the 90s, keyboards didnt have nkey rollover, so i couldnt register multiple keypresses, and that made it miss a lot of moves.
This is not the case anymore, and its a very logical working setup, its way faster than lever in a more comfortable position than arcade buttons, lever is more intuitive because you can see that the cardinal directions of the lever, match the movements, but this layout assigns one dedicated finger to each movement key, its way better and faster.

[@pkphantom]

Just in case this makes it easier and unless they changed the SPD input rules, you don't have to input the directional inputs in order. The system only checks that the four cardinal directions have been pressed within a certain time. So if you hit left and right first then down and up in whatever order you want, you should still get the grab. I don't know all the details on it cause I don't play grapplers, but my buddy plays Lily, a d he said he does something to skip the diagonal inputs

[@ezRyan]

been using this controller about 5 months, feels like the only fight stick usable for MK with some key bind adjustments

[@movementvii]

I ended up enjoying the B16 more than the T/R16 😌

[@FalcomScott312]

Looks so different here!

[@NazTH]

Damn, I was actually waiting for you to do this review.

[@jorge86rodriguez]

I have it and everything you said is true is incredible for the price, also being so small helps for countering the drive impact. The switches that it uses, leobog v4, are very will respected even in the keyboard community for how good are for the price.
I have 0 complains with this controller 10/ 10, I also use it to play platform games like hollow knight

[@Linudroit]

Looks glorbus

[@skyMcWeeds]

its actually pretty decent 😂 enjoyed using it for mvc2 which is pretty challenging
after years of playing keyboard back in the mid 2000's and early 2010's
going back to keyboard style felt natural barely any adjustment period

[@okami_arn]

8:17 I saw that 😬

[@zuffin1864]

Now i'm waiting for the "arcade games stuck on xbox 360" video haha! There are a lot of shmups, and a few games exclusive to that generation with no ports to modern platforms. best examples are tekken 5, 6, tag tournament, and soul calibur 4, 5. Probably some more i cannot think of

[@NihongoGamer]

Tempting! If I buy a new xbox

[@xFrozenxSnowx]

You should checkout the Azeron Cyborg if you haven't already.

[@nSquared75]

Leobog

[@Linudroit]

Its actually really interesting seeing a keyboard work as a fighting game controller - or like.. semi-work.

[@RanmaruRei]

Idk. I'm playing fighting games on a keyboard since Mortal Kombat 4. It's OK way to play fighting games. Almost like any leverless controller but with more buttons.

[@DriveCancelDC]

People have been playing with normal keyboards for decades, it is the same as playing on any other leverless except they usually don't have keyboard keycaps.

[@therealhudlesshorseman]

​@DriveCancelDC
Came to say the same.
I first learned about people using Keyboards for FGs back with the earlier BlazBlues

[@TheShredFaster]

what do you mean semi-work? they’re literally the most optimal way to play lol

[@average-team-kid]

I use my actual keyboard. It's honestly no worse than hitbox

[@supradoom]

I have one. They are great.
