Hey FGC Lemmy, there doesn't seem to be a lot going on here, but I would appreciate any input. I'm pretty new to fighting games, and with SF6 and Tekken 8 I want to start playing more competitively. I've been using a Dualshock controller and want to upgrade to a leverless controller before my muscle memory is too engrained. Do y'all have any recommendations for a leverless controller? I play on PS4 rn, but will probably switch over to PC pretty soon. I also don't want to drop $300 on a Razer Kitsune lol. Thanks!

I really like the ones from SGFDevices https://sgfdevices.com. I bought mine back when it was 100 dollars. It seems to be cheaper now. For PS5 you'd need an extra adapter, though. They also sell that.

Maaan, I'm halfway sold on them already. Their response to the Hitbox situation was based too, and I've heard good things about them. Is it a comfortable size to use? That sale price of $60 is hard to refuse.

I have medium sized hands and it's very comfortable for me. No trouble reaching any buttons or my hands hurting.

It's just quite small. There's no real place to put your wrist. I hover my wrist. Back when I bought it there are a lot of requests for an attachment to expand the whole thing and I know they were working on it but it was for after they moved to a bigger warehouse. That was back in October, iirc, so I'm sure they've moved now.

I've not kept up with any of it but it might be available now. I know they're also very active and responsive on their Discord in case you have any questions.

The ones from Haute42 are nice and budget friendly! I got the Haute Mini because i like WASD style leverless and its great.

Though the tradeoff being for ps4 / ps5 it does require a passthrough device for authentication to the console, either a controller or one of those adapters.

Make one yourself. It's not very difficult if you have some tools, and you'll be able to make any customised layout with whatever buttons you want. I've made a bunch of them myself (check my post history and scroll all the way down).

In fact, my old home made hitbox is sitting unused in a box and I can sell that pretty cheap (if there's interest in paying for delivery from England).
