The non-slip pads that it comes with are good for people who play on their desk, but not so much for lap players. Just in case I wasn't clear.

@imohbalu look at the manual but IIRC: 1) download latest firmware from the haute 42 website ➡️after installing firmware update 2) disconnect the controller, open your browser and type 192.168.7.1 3) configuration ➡️pin mapping Then set it to either pin 18 or 19

Thx for the test. 😊 I have this controller for about 3 weeks now and it's definitely a great one. I was searching a controller about the size of a Razer Kitsune and the Haute 42 T16 have pretty much the same size for a much cheaper price but not for a more cheaper quality. It has even extra buttons. It works also perfectly well on PS5 (natively) with a mayflash key. It works on SF6, GG Strive and Tekken 8 from what I tested. Yeah it's about 20 or 30 € more for the USB key but it totally worth it. The Kitsune is 350 € here in France and the Haute 42 cost me about 100 € with the Mayflash key. It took me very few time to get used to the 30 mm buttons. I was used to the classic hitbox scheme with 24 mm buttons and 30mm for up but it was noy a problem for me at least. I highly recommend it 😀

I bought the T13 one, which is the same one as this review with 3 fewer buttons. I went with this leverless cause of my big hands, the normal leverless are too cramped for me, and after a few hours it will start hurting my hands. The Haute42 Tseries has so much space in the acrylic that you can rest ur hand on it AND have enough space for your fingers to spread fully. I've been loving this controller, and I will eventually upgrade to the M-series, which has even better features and better material quality while having the same layout.

Just ordered this last night. The price point is what sold me. Haven't played fighting games in 20 years, so it's hard for me to feel happy shelling out $200 - $300 dollars for a video game controller format that's been part of the market for more than 10 years. Got super lucky with this company putting this out. I wonder if the 30ml buttons were part of getting the price down. Maybe it's cheaper to bulk order 30ml on the manufacturing end? Works for me. I got big clumsy hands anyway. I'm looking forward to seeing other companies being forced to compete with this price point. Thank you for the review. Wish I had seen it before I ordered, but I'm relieved that it does look like a pretty killer deal. Thirty percent of the standard market price is brilliant. Haute42 is gonna make waves this year with Tekken 8 joining the scene with SF6.

It may have been mentioned in the comments already, but the USB passthrough on the side can be used in concert with the PS Passthrough settings in the firmware to slot in a MagicBoots PS4 v1.1 dongle. This will give the unit compatibility with the PS5 and get around the 8 minute timeout issues.

@@Chris_F According to the GP2040-CE FAQ, "Any USB device that works as a categorized PS4 controller (arcade stick/racing wheel/flight sim joystick) or a USB dongle that allows a controller to authenticate should work with PS Passthrough". That's the firmware Haute uses as the basis for their stuff, so it would follow if the RAP works on a PS4 and Hori has verified the same stick works on the PS5 then it should work as a passthrough device.

The Haute42 Aliexpress store has different series of these things (sizes, body materials), different button layouts at different prices. The T16 is shockingly, one of their more expensive models. A G16, for example has the same basic layout and components but, is snackbox sized. A T13 is the same size but has less buttons. Both are cheaper with G16's costing less than $50 and G13's being even cheaper. I started off with G16 and after 2 weeks, I trusted the company enough to buy a T16. I could've gone with an M16 (metal body) but, I'm not paying $30 more just to have a fingerprint magnet body (cough, Kitsune...)

Bought it, and not a big fan. To me the biggest two problems are: The start and back button are way too small, too close and easily mis-clicked. I am not sure if the designer actually plays any modern fighting games, because the back button is the most important button in training mode in resetting positions. This alone makes it unusable. The second is that the hitbox itself is too small. I used to play hitbox on my lap. With this tiny one, it is impossible. The upside is the buttons are much better. It has more weight that the ones on hitbox arcade, but not too much that it feels like a keyboard. The overall build quality is also superb. Also, you can configure it to play other games just like a Xbox controller. So it is easier to carry around and play other games compare to a full sized hitbox.
@cmaerc

For fighting games, I agree on the default back button being too close so I mapped one of the extra buttons as an additional back button. I also have one of these slim leverless controllers and I found it uncomfortable for lap play because it was too low. I found that if I raised the controller by placing it on a box, it was fine.

Hey, after your review I have made the purchase and I couldn’t have been better. I have one question though, maybe a bit on a silly side. I am using the movement buttons in the regular hitbox way - having my right hand thumb on the jump buttons and the left hand on the left, down, right buttons. But I am struggling a bit with the parry buton - having it on the top right feels tricky for my right pinky (under light kick I have DI) so I have been using recently the buton on the left of the jump buton - pressing it with my left hand thumb. Do you think this can cause any executions issuse in the future? I do not want to get i tinto my muscle memory and then relearn if something will not work…

Just bought a Haute pro G16 which is the mini version. I had a couple concerns before buying. 1st. Would it be too small? Answer-not at all. I'm an adult male with decent size hands and it works great for me but due to the layout would also work great for smaller hands. 2. I've only ever used controllers so how long would it take to get used to it? I considered 3 months of heavy practice to be a realistic amount of time to get used to it because it's so different than what I'm used to. Turns out with 1 night of playing I was already at 80% of my normal skill level. I use the bottom jump button which I find faster to switch from crouching to jumping or for example quick flash kicks for Guile. I will say with a fair amount of certainty within 2 weeks I will be at 100%. I would never have thought this possible before but its that easy to use. I found probably a good 50% of my SF2 losses came from missed inputs at critical moments in the round. If you are sick of dealing with that, make the jump. Everything is more precise and faster.

Thx for the test. 😊 I have this controller for about 3 weeks now and it's definitely a great one. I was searching a controller about the size of a Razer Kitsune and the Haute 42 T16 have pretty much the same size for a much cheaper price but not for a more cheaper quality. It has even extra buttons. It works also perfectly well on PS5 (natively) with a mayflash key. It works on SF6, GG Strive and Tekken 8 from what I tested. Yeah it's about 20 or 30 € more for the USB key but it totally worth it. The Kitsune is 350 € here in France and the Haute 42 cost me about 100 € with the Mayflash key. It took me very few time to get used to the 30 mm buttons. I was used to the classic hitbox scheme with 24 mm buttons and 30mm for up but it was noy a problem for me at least. I highly recommend it 😀

I bought the T13 one, which is the same one as this review with 3 fewer buttons. I went with this leverless cause of my big hands, the normal leverless are too cramped for me, and after a few hours it will start hurting my hands. The Haute42 Tseries has so much space in the acrylic that you can rest ur hand on it AND have enough space for your fingers to spread fully. I've been loving this controller, and I will eventually upgrade to the M-series, which has even better features and better material quality while having the same layout.

Just ordered this last night. The price point is what sold me. Haven't played fighting games in 20 years, so it's hard for me to feel happy shelling out $200 - $300 dollars for a video game controller format that's been part of the market for more than 10 years. Got super lucky with this company putting this out. I wonder if the 30ml buttons were part of getting the price down. Maybe it's cheaper to bulk order 30ml on the manufacturing end? Works for me. I got big clumsy hands anyway. I'm looking forward to seeing other companies being forced to compete with this price point. Thank you for the review. Wish I had seen it before I ordered, but I'm relieved that it does look like a pretty killer deal. Thirty percent of the standard market price is brilliant.

Just got this and I have to say I'm surprised at how nice it is for the price. I had a "FightBox," but I really wanted extra buttons and it's so much better. More buttons needs to be the standard; I can't imagine dropping $400 on a razer kitsune without any extra buttons.

i have the oportunity to try one of this, the smallest one, i thick was the S16 or something, for like 7 hours in 2 diferent days, and i think the issue with lap players aren't true at all, i didnt feels the leverless controlers slide in my lap NEVER, so ... more reassons to buy it :D, i like stick controllers, but this one is really fun (and objectively better) to play whit

It may have been mentioned in the comments already, but the USB passthrough on the side can be used in concert with the PS Passthrough settings in the firmware to slot in a MagicBoots PS4 v1.1 dongle. This will give the unit compatibility with the PS5 and get around the 8 minute timeout issues.

@@Chris_F According to the GP2040-CE FAQ, "Any USB device that works as a categorized PS4 controller (arcade stick/racing wheel/flight sim joystick) or a USB dongle that allows a controller to authenticate should work with PS Passthrough". That's the firmware Haute uses as the basis for their stuff, so it would follow if the RAP works on a PS4 and Hori has verified the same stick works on the PS5 then it should work as a passthrough device.

The Haute42 Aliexpress store has different series of these things (sizes, body materials), different button layouts at different prices. The T16 is shockingly, one of their more expensive models. A G16, for example has the same basic layout and components but, is snackbox sized. A T13 is the same size but has less buttons. Both are cheaper with G16's costing less than $50 and G13's being even cheaper. I started off with G16 and after 2 weeks, I trusted the company enough to buy a T16. I could've gone with an M16 (metal body) but, I'm not paying $30 more just to have a fingerprint magnet body (cough, Kitsune...)

I bought a cheap "fightingbox" flatbox which is basically just a 12 button leverless. I regret not spending a tiny bit more on one of the haute pads. They seem to be fairly decent.

Is there a general consensus on where to put DI and parry yet? Also do people use the parry button for mid combo DR or just hit mp,mk buttons?
The extra buttons really worry me. Like i want them but the spacing looks too close to me especially with the buttons being larger (idk if putting slightly smaller ones would feel bad or not with the spacing for larger ones.) On tekken i have a few characters that i very regularly have to hit 3,4 or 4,3 very quickly, and i am ao used to sliding my thumb across. I dont think i could do it without the L3 getting in the way. Also the other button next to up/jump seems... Idk maybe i shld just get better form and use individual fingers for those movements.

Большое спасибо за обзор! Было очень интересно.
Bought it, and not a big fan. To me the biggest two problems are: The start and back button are way too small, too close and easily mis-clicked. I am not sure if the designer actually plays any modern fighting games, because the back button is the most important button in training mode in resetting positions. This alone makes it unusable. The second is that the hitbox itself is too small. I used to play hitbox on my lap. With this tiny one, it is impossible. The upside is the buttons are much better. It has more weight that the ones on hitbox arcade, but not too much that it feels like a keyboard. The overall build quality is also superb. Also, you can configure it to play other games just like a Xbox controller. So it is easier to carry around and play other games compare to a full sized hitbox.
@cmaerc
6 ай бұрын
For fighting games, I agree on the default back button being too close so I mapped one of the extra buttons as an additional back button. I also have one of these slim leverless controllers and I found it uncomfortable for lap play because it was too low. I found that if I raised the controller by placing it on a box, it was fine.

Hey, after your review I have made the purchase and I couldn’t have been better. I have one question though, maybe a bit on a silly side. I am using the movement buttons in the regular hitbox way - having my right hand thumb on the jump buttons and the left hand on the left, down, right buttons. But I am struggling a bit with the parry buton - having it on the top right feels tricky for my right pinky (under light kick I have DI) so I have been using recently the buton on the left of the jump buton - pressing it with my left hand thumb. Do you think this can cause any executions issuse in the future? I do not want to get i tinto my muscle memory and then relearn if something will not work…

I got used to the 30mm size within 30 minutes, it’s not a big deal
Just bought a Haute pro G16 which is the mini version. I had a couple concerns before buying. 1st. Would it be too small? Answer-not at all. I'm an adult male with decent size hands and it works great for me but due to the layout would also work great for smaller hands. 2. I've only ever used controllers so how long would it take to get used to it? I considered 3 months of heavy practice to be a realistic amount of time to get used to it because it's so different than what I'm used to. Turns out with 1 night of playing I was already at 80% of my normal skill level. I use the bottom jump button which I find faster to switch from crouching to jumping or for example quick flash kicks for Guile. I will say with a fair amount of certainty within 2 weeks I will be at 100%. I would never have thought this possible before but its that easy to use. I found probably a good 50% of my SF2 losses came from missed inputs at critical moments in the round. If you are sick of dealing with that, make the jump. Everything is more precise and faster.
