About this product
Leverless controllers have taken over high-level fighting games, and the Haute42 C16 joins that trend with magnetic buttons on a compact hitbox layout for PC, PS5 and PS4. Direction inputs on buttons give faster crouch and dash reactions than a stick, which is why so many tournament players switched. With 404 recent orders and a 98.3% positive rating it is an accessible entry into hitbox play. The listing does not state SOCD cleaning behavior per platform or the exact magnetic switch travel — confirm tournament legality rules for your local scene before competing.
