I have arthritis in my thumbs and find it difficult to play anything action-oriented with thumbsticks, an all button controller like this might let me play stuff like Super Smash Brothers again. Thanks for showing this off, I didn't realize there were options like this out there.
There's a TON. Also, consider checking out the Xbox Adaptive controller coupled with a Mayflash adapter, or the Hori Flex controller for Nintendo Switch.
Specifically for Smash I would recommend looking into the Frame1 controller! It has buttons to emulate the right stick (and I believe it has a modifier button that allows you to angle the left stick in more than 8 directions).
There's also the "Smashbox" made by the same people who do the Hitbox... Like the Hitbox it's a little oversized being an all button arcade layout controller... But from the sound of it, it might be exactly what you are looking for...
The snackbox micro I bought out of curiosity but I use it nearly exclusively for fighting games now. It's actually really comfortable for lap use and I'm a fairly large dude.
@@midazct100 absolutely, down+forward will give you diagonal forward as an example. I've played on controller and arcade stick for years and adapting wasn't really an issue. Most modern fighting games are fairly lenient on inputs as well.
I have one and can highly recommend it for fighting games and anything else that doesn’t need both sticks! You can also get an additional metal plate for the bottom to make it feel more substantial, and they have a ton of color options available for their buttons on their shop. (Rumor is they’re also making a smash box style controller with this thin form factor 👀)
as someone who worked in construction holy crap i was able to identify you actually dub in a cinderblock being dragged specifically on concrete for the opening bit nice
I just want to say I really appreciate your videos like these for accessibility. A lot of conventional controllers don't work well with my large hands and you have helped turn me onto to some very solid options.
I played Mario bros on an arcade cabinet and while the joy stick wasn’t optimal the jumping was incredible. I also have fond memories of my first time emulating and playing Mario on a keyboard. I think this video is telling me to take the plunge
If you can get used to this using it with platformers, I do urge you to try out some street fighter or something cuz these things are really blowing up in the fighting game scene
Wait this whole time I thought fight stick buttons used keyboard switches inside, this kinda feels like how someone in their 30s learning that pickles are pickled cucumbers for the first time.
it really is very weird to adapt but DEFINITELY worth it, i started on some snes beat em ups and shooters to get used to this layout, took a week, it was a lot of fun because it felt like i was playing these games for the 1st time again (i used to play A LOT on keyboard up until like 2005, but i always used my right hand on the arrow keys, i was not used to wasd)
I think for playing by myself at a desk, I'd probably use the keyboard...but for with friends, if we're sat around a TV I think it would be kind of a pain in the butt to have in my lap. Everything's situational I guess
There should be a clip that you can use to connect your switch screen to this or any joystick... Just like the clips that connect your phone to your controller, only bigger.
It's funny that I haven't even touched my Switch in over a year, nor am I into Nintendo stuff but I always catch myself coming back and watching every one of Bob's video anyway cuz they're THAT entertaining to watch 😅
Ok, I'm starting to think Bob has a secret twin and he is introducing him to us via ads so we are comfortable with the scenario, because I cannot believe the level of detail on editing two Bobs for ads and silly comedy bits.
Can’t wait for my desk mat to get here! Now if only I could get some Wulff Den apparel… I came back to say the part where you bite the fight pad made me laugh entirely too hard
The mousepad looks gorgeous. I already have two XL mousepads and love them, swapping them out when they get dirty or I feel like a change. Excited to rotate this new WulffDen one into the roster. 💙
It would be interesting to see a comparison of this controller with the Boxx controller. The Boxx has been out for a while and I believe that Hax$, a pro SSBM player, used and promoted the Boxx controller for a long time.
I wish this video didnt show when i open youtube because it makes me want to buy it every time, and i dont want to live on noodles for a month to afford it. Damn you Bob 🤌
Your mouse mat looks amazing, and I've long admired the one you use. I'm just not sure I can justify spending $40 for one with the shipping. I hope they do well!
It would be convenient for portability, but for home I'd rather have one with a board that has palm space. These smaller ones don't feel great after a while with part of your hand hanging off the edge.
I like the etsy all button you had a video on before. I bought one and it works well on switch with the mayflash adapter. It along with an sn30 are my travel companions
I was used to wasd button layout, using thumb for up button kinda weird for me. You nvr press up and down at the same time, so i dont mind using middle finger for both buttons. But i understand it was faster using thumb for up button.
I was dreaming of gamo2 k28 for Taiko and it's out of stock so I was hoping this would be a good alternate but it looks like this is always outta stock too, d'oh!
@@WulffDen I saw after I commented, actually! Clicking through and running the usd price for the gamepad plus shipping to Canadian dollars definitely made me trigger shy yikes!
Can you actually use that thing without a table? (somewhat rhetorically asking) I kinda doubt it's easy to use it on a bus or sitting on a couch. So, portable, but "surface-dependent?" Probably just gonna stick with the 8bitdo SF30 Pro.
Can't you just take the PCB from the 8bitdo stick and put it into a thinner case if you're not using the stick? I guess it does end up costing about the same if you do all that tho
Bob, you literally have the only ads I don't fast forward. That shit is always entertaining.
...literally
i feel the exact same way.

@@dazeNB Too bad the Frame1 has been sold out for over a year.

Is it possible to get diagonal outputs out of it? He mentioned something briefly in the video but I couldn't make much of it.
@@midazct100 absolutely, down+forward will give you diagonal forward as an example. I've played on controller and arcade stick for years and adapting wasn't really an issue. Most modern fighting games are fairly lenient on inputs as well.
This is seriously one of the most fun Wulff Den videos he's made. I love the smash in the wild bit lol.

Nice music selection at the intro. Glad to see you appreciate old school KoF 😁

I come back and watch this video a lot not just because the snack box micro is a cool controller, but also for 11:32. It cracks me up every time.
I have 2 SnackBox Micros and they are super fun. I like mine with the heavy metal bottom plate
If I knew how to use this kind of Stick Box, I'd get this for how clean and small it looks.
The left is like using a keyboard with A-left, S-down, D-Right, and Space-Jump.
the little skit at the end deserves a like
11:39 is legit what I'd do if I met the man in public.
Also, $200 is a little too pricey for this in my opinion.
I never thought I'd hear a KOF song in a Wulff Den video ♥
4:39 it's also like how us Americans call small bandages well band aids because yeah it's a brand yet we call any thing like it a band aid it's weird
welp, guess i gotta add a new desk mat to the collection
also it feels so good to see you getting into keyboard and keyboard-esque stuff
That moment when your old emulator days on keyboard are suddenly validated 20 years later.

I love it. And honestly, when you look at what it would cost to buy the universal fight board, the price isn't bad.
you have such an awesome channel man and you are def the best controller reviewer on youtube much love man!
Man who needs Will when we have Bobs twin Rob
The aesthetically pleasing lights on this are almost enough to make me want a fight pad even though I never play games that would be good with one.
Thank you so very much for talking about how to change the direction to left stick. I was losing my mind.😅
The skits and you eating the controller got me. Hilarious. Thanks for the laughs.
This is the best fight pad I have ever seen
I wonder if I will ever be able to get over that tinge that I get when someone pronounces Mario differently than I do.
Can’t wait for my desk mat to get here! Now if only I could get some Wulff Den apparel…
I came back to say the part where you bite the fight pad made me laugh entirely too hard
things being perpetually out of stock is a common thing anymore
Just got my XL Desk Pad today, love it! great job!
That intro was some pretty good ASMR, not gonna lie
The mousepad looks gorgeous. I already have two XL mousepads and love them, swapping them out when they get dirty or I feel like a change. Excited to rotate this new WulffDen one into the roster. 💙
I got this a little while ago and yeah, its my favorite portable controller! 10/10 would recommend.
Finally thank you I’ve been hard decision making of which desk pad I want but God your looks beautiful ima get your instead
That desk mat ad got me. XD
I always adore the cinematography and quality of his videos, top notch content, appreciate alot!!!
All this fightpad look super cool and very interesting, but the price is always insane.
Shipping to most countries - probably not Brazil, like Sharkrobot
Brazil!
90 dollar shipping on a 30 dollar item. God damn it.
That mousepad = on my Christmas wish!
@@Lydus3032 sry ment mousepad lol
Bob... how the heck are you not at 1M subscribers yet :(
Come on people! This guy is awesome!
Looks like they're coming up with LBX which is a bigger version of this with more thumb buttons. The more the merrier.
Deskmat ordered, digging the vibes of the spooky crt in the background.
Your skits are so well edited i sometimes think you have a twin brother
It would be interesting to see a comparison of this controller with the Boxx controller. The Boxx has been out for a while and I believe that Hax$, a pro SSBM player, used and promoted the Boxx controller for a long time.
Dat smooth KOF music...
2 years later and mine arrives in a week
I know probably no one will see this, just what stand/dock is he using in this? It little like a metal foldable charging stand of some sort.
Love Hipster bob and regular bob sponsor segments
I wish this video didnt show when i open youtube because it makes me want to buy it every time, and i dont want to live on noodles for a month to afford it. Damn you Bob 🤌
thats cool that someone made one of those but so much smaller than usuall
Well Klarna exists. And this controller also exists. So I'm already sold.
Very nice choose of using some kof music
I see Charlie Days ghost in my hallways too, always asking where Pepe Silvia is and idk what to tell him
I couldn't resist, I bought the mouse mat before finishing video, but now I'm back😂
I like the style of that desk pad
Thank you for another installment of Bob vs Bob.
All the jokes in this video are extra good
I wanna see a hotswap version so I can add in some linear or silent tactile switches
It looks stylish ngl
Maybe Bob can look into the Frame1 in the future, since that thing is an all buttons controller designed specifically for smash
11:44 i loled on the subway
Your mouse mat looks amazing, and I've long admired the one you use. I'm just not sure I can justify spending $40 for one with the shipping. I hope they do well!
This is the most Bob video ever
I really don't need this but I was looking for a hitbox like switch fightstick. Thank you

7:58 I'm sorry to say but that guy is now second since 6 days ago
😂 “HEY! Is that Wulff Den?!”
I just wish it wasn't so dam expensive, for the price they could have added a bluetooth mode and usb-c
Guessing this is the snack box micro, time to watch video
Please talk abt rhe snack box stick v2 its cheaper but bigger
10:44 well if it’s out of stock stop recommending video like this to me TH-cam
I love the way he put a apple sticker on his switch OLED
😴
Paused video bought desk mat. Okay now I'm back....
I'd like to see someone competing in EVO using this
I was used to wasd button layout, using thumb for up button kinda weird for me. You nvr press up and down at the same time, so i dont mind using middle finger for both buttons. But i understand it was faster using thumb for up button.
yo, it's an RGB coaster!!!! sick dude!!!!
I was dreaming of gamo2 k28 for Taiko and it's out of stock so I was hoping this would be a good alternate but it looks like this is always outta stock too, d'oh!
they go by pre-orders. so you just gotta get at it a little early so they know how many to make
@@WulffDen I saw after I commented, actually! Clicking through and running the usd price for the gamepad plus shipping to Canadian dollars definitely made me trigger shy yikes!
legitimately don't believe i can fit this on any surface in my home. might have to frame it and hang it up.
What kind of frame is the switch in
@@B34R117 i'm talking about that sexy ass desk mat
Please talk abt the snackn box v2
I was convinced for a moment he was talking of the rapper BONES
SESH
One of the most hilarious episodes
Actually, it looks like such controls and setup is best for rhythm games too, DJmax types.
Mom! The crazy keyboard guy is talking about keyboards again..
snack box micro pog
You should get a traditional 2d fighting game , seeing as you review so many arcade sticks. Might I recommend Guilty Gear Accent Core?
I copped up that desk mat as soon as I saw the colors. DAMN THAT LOOKS AMAZING!!!
Def gonna make a video of my desk setup with it once it arrives
would be cool if you could place buttons wherever you want, maybe with some magnets. Its gotta be possible
Would love to see the mat in a red/black/gray, but that color looks really clean. Humm…
This is the closest we’re getting to new wulff den apparel
Can you actually use that thing without a table? (somewhat rhetorically asking) I kinda doubt it's easy to use it on a bus or sitting on a couch. So, portable, but "surface-dependent?" Probably just gonna stick with the 8bitdo SF30 Pro.
Yo this looks perfect for DJMAX
Can't you just take the PCB from the 8bitdo stick and put it into a thinner case if you're not using the stick? I guess it does end up costing about the same if you do all that tho
