Leverless Controllers

All-button leverless controllers for fighting games. We stock Haute42 leverless arcade controllers, including the compact S16-C with Kailh Crystal low-profile switches and RGB lighting, and the C16 with a magnetic art panel and a tournament lock switch. Both run GP2040-CE firmware for very low input latency. For DIY builds, we also carry the Honson F5 1000Hz bootloader for PS5 and Raspberry Pi GP2040-CE fighting keyboards.

Frequently asked questions

What is a leverless controller?

A leverless controller replaces the joystick with buttons for up, down, left and right. Pressing a button is faster and more precise than moving a stick, which makes special-move inputs and quick direction changes easier to execute consistently.

Which platforms do they work with?

It depends on the model. The Haute42 C16, for example, works with Windows 10 or later and Steam Deck, and with PS4 through an adapter. Check each listing for its full platform support before you buy.

What is GP2040-CE?

GP2040-CE is open-source firmware for fighting game controllers. It's known for very low input latency, and you can update it and remap buttons yourself.
