This leverless controller ditches the traditional joystick for pure, button-based precision that makes complex inputs feel second nature. It’s a massive upgrade for fighting game enthusiasts who value speed and consistency, though the flat, arcade-style layout requires a dedicated adjustment period if you’re used to classic sticks.
