Damn!! This looks hot. I have the Victrix FS 12 but replaced it with the Razer (smaller and quieter and quicker button action). But this is gonna make me go back to Victrix.

It’s called a hitbox. They’ve been around and popular in the FGC for many years now. This is absolutely nothing special or unique.

I had no idea, it's 100% new to me. I feel like I would rather just use a controller at this point though, immersion with joystick makes sense, but this really isn't that far from just a regular controller. I mean I get it, but yeah strange

Back in the day people would just build those themselves. Their main point is sturdiness - if made properly they can survive spilled beers, fist bashing etc... Perfect for rage inducing fighting games' sessions. :D

It’s partially sturdiness, sure, but the main reason is that FG directional inputs are inherently digital. As such, quite a lot of moves are (arguably) easier to pull off via buttons rather than any sort of stick. The arcade stick is more of an artifact of, well, arcades and many people being used to them. They aren’t actually inherently superior as input devices for fighting games. Hell, there are hitbox variants with directional buttons replaced by literal WASD.

With a joystick or thumb-stick you need to move your thumb to three discrete positions to do the common fighting game motion forward > down > down+forward. It can be error prone because you need to move the stick from forward to down without accidentally doing down-forward. With a hitbox like this, you need to do three button presses using two fingers.

It's individual preference which one is easier, but hopefully one can see why people might prefer the latter.

Last FG I tried was SF4. Couldn't do many, many moves using the keyboard. I went and got an Xbox controller. Now I could do some of the moves I couldn't do using the the keyboard. But some of the moves I could pull of with the keyboard, I couldn't anymore. So I just called it quits.

oh... it use MX Speed Silver like my aherm *cough*el cheapo*cough* RP2040 custom fightingbox.

well unlike the Razer Kitsune, that one i can see it being worth the price asked given the 4 extra buttons and the other extras... really? all that is hidden in the chassis? that's seriously impressive.
(still no OLED screen showing the inputs or modes, but well ... it's not like the screen has any other uses :laugh: )

tbf for fighting game that controller was the best acquisition ever :D
