    Just got the s16 I ordered after watching your video and it’s lovely ! I tried it on granblue, jojo hftf and dark stalkers and I can already see that I’m getting better after only 2 days. It’s frightening how easy it is to input fast combos, a world of difference between this and my old Sanwa stick. The product looks and feels excellent too. For less than 60$ this is crazy value

      ​@Chris_F Thanks for these videos. I got the T 16 on my own, but more people need to know how great they are. I didn't like the little one, my hands are way too big lol.
      The S16 would be great for kids though.

    Great review. It was one of the reasons I finally buy the S16, and I have to say, the control is really fantastic.
    All I need now is that someone, somehow, manages to add the two analog sticks to the sides, so you can play Ranked and WorldTour mode in the same controller, XD.

    Great review Chris! I own both, S13 is more comfortable for me because the buttons aren't that separated like the T16. But if you're planning to use it on your lap you will prefer the T16 or like Chris look for some kind of base for your S leverless

    I highly recommend a right angle usb c cable for the S16. It doesn't interfere with my keyboard while using the top usb port. For using it on your lap I can recommend having a clipboard or plastic chopping board with some kind of grippy material underneath so you it won't slide around.

    Distance between buttons on T16 is too much unless you have paws for hands, that's why the standard has always been all 24 button + 30 for jump. We need a bigger S16 so we can lap play with it, T16 buttons ain't comfortable for medium hands. I had to return mine because of it and couldn't be happier with my S16

    • @Chris_F
      @Chris_F  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Wholeheartedly agree. I have smallish hands and the T16 buttons are just way too large and far apart for me. Ended up getting a S16 instead and I'm loving it. I play on my desk anyways and try to not rest my wrists too much.

    • @SNintendoFreak
      @SNintendoFreak 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      This is why I went with the S16 too. I have medium sized hands with long, slender fingers. I had a feeling the bigger buttons and spread-out layout of the T16 would be more uncomfortable than the smaller buttons and more compact layout of the S16. I got my S16 in last week, and I definitely made the right choice. Take it with a grain of salt, but rumor has it that Haute42 is working on a larger version of the S16. If and when that releases, I'll be sure to pick one of those up as well.

    I just ordered the t16 so I'd have something to play on besides my custom board (which is so nice looking I'd have to use it at offlines but I'd rather beat it up a little less at home). This looks nice and I'm curious about your review but for my hands I know t16 is what I'm looking for.

    Curious if you can add an extra input. Would I be able to make the extra button above my “1” input a second bind for the another directional input? For example could I make that button an extra ➡️ input so I could use it for SOCD

    @kumapoppu 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I have no plan to go on tournaments, I want a leverless that I can put on a table and never on my thighs. With those conditions I can see that the S16 really ticks the boxes.
    But here's my question. I heard that it was really small. Even smaller than a Snackbox Micro.
    I have big hands. Is that going to be an issue? I was happy seeing your video because I was able to see actual hands playing on it. That said I am still not sure if I my hands will fit on it in the sense that my fingers will be too scrunched up together using it.

    • @Chris_F
      @Chris_F  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It is indeed smaller than the snackbox micro. If you have big hands, you might find this too small for you.
      You can check the dimensions and try drawing it on a sheet of paper to get a general feel for the size. Better than spending money on something you don’t like!

    I feel like fight sticks are good when they are super heavy but the haute go the opposite route... what's your take on weight of your stick? is heavy better or is light better?

    • @Chris_F
      @Chris_F  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Heavy is good until a TSA agent is asking you to empty your bag after a 10h flight saying things like “fightin’ games huh? I used to be pretty nice at Simpsons Wrestling”.
      Serious answer: I prefer heavy controllers if it has a lever (especially Korean battop) since there’s more arm strength going into it. A leverless controller is totally ok even if it’s light bc you should be playing it like a piano, gently.

  • @Tkpaul2024
    @Tkpaul2024 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hi Chris, thank you so much for your awesome review. I go through the capcom rule 4.2.2. it states:
    Directional keys, levers, and move buttons that allow movement actions and analog sticks can coexist and be installed. However, movement actions with analog input must be input as analog information. For example, it is not allowed to convert the analog stick into a button or lever, or any other mechanical capability.
    Is it not allowed to use the LS RS function of s16 at the end of the video?

    @Chris_F does the controller have noticeable input lag on ps5 using a brooks adapter? I just ordered the t16 and im worried about that. It sounds like it doesnt effect you since u said u play in tournies?

    • @Chris_F
      @Chris_F  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In a technical sense yes it does add a tiny bit lag but in practice it’s nothing worth being worried about.
      I would, however, suggest getting some combo warm up on a ps5 before your tournament matches start IF you’re a PC player like me just bc PS5 is trash
