Razer Kitsune All-Button Arcade Controller: For PS5 / PlayStation 5 & PC - Low-Profile Optical Switches - Slim Form Factor - Removable Top Plate - Chroma RGB Lighting - USB Type C - Black

Great-feeling leverless controller.Pros:Light weight, thin body that's easy to throw in the laptop pocket of a backpackDetachable USB-C cable with a locking clasp that holds it in placeNative PS5 support with a switch to toggle xinput for windows PC useEasy to swap switches and keycapsGrippy textured surface on the bottomPlayStation touchpad on the controller, in PC mode the touchpad doubles as a mouseRGB has a few controls accessible through shortcuts on-board, most importantly offFactory-installed switches feel very responsive and are very quietCons:The factory keycaps are oil and grime magnets. At home it's easy to just wash your hands like an adult human being but if you're at an event, especially a local where you're probably sharing a table with two pizzas and some chipotle, it can be difficult to keep the buttons cleanThe factory keycaps have a little side-to-side play that can increase their felt travel distance a bitThe factory keycaps don't always sit perfectly on aftermarket switches from other brands, so if you replace your switches you might want to be prepared to replace the caps tooThe factory switches themselves feel like they have a little more travel than some top tier arcade buttons you might have used in the pastThe board's SOCD cleaning is compliant with Capcom Cup rules but at the time of posting there is no way to change the SOCD mode so if you play a game that allows different SOCD settings you will be forced into complying with the more strict Capcom rules (though if your character has a 22/down down special input you're eating good here)The cable lock probably won't work with aftermarket cablesUnless you buy a special edition one getting stick art currently means basically having a big sticker made because there's currently no option for transparent faceplates. The kitsune does look great in solid black thoughMaybe?:The kitsune's body is larger than some micro leverless controllers but smaller than a full-sized one, so keep that in mind if you have really particular size requirements. I personally think it's the perfect size but I have friends who prefer larger stick bodies that feel more stable in a lapAmazon shipped mine in the OEM box which is really sturdy and well-packed but also broadcasts your 300 dollar PS5 controller to anyone watching

I got this as an alternative to my Hitbox and I actually like it more.+ Slim and easy to carry around+ Near silent buttons so you're not annoying everyone+ Great Leverless- Price- Finish is that matte black that picks up oil and dust really easily.I've included a picture of the Kitsune vs. the Hitbox vs. an Xbox controller for a size comparison.

the buttons feel amazing! great and responsive, and they aren't clicky and don't make noise. The button placement is super comfortable, and the hitbox itself is sleek and a fits comfortably in the lap, with plenty of room to rest your hands comfortably on it while you play. no complicated setup, just plug it in and play! this was my first hitbox, and if you're on the edge about getting into hitbox or leverless platforms I'd highly recommend the kitsune, if you can swing the price, which is steep, and the only con I've personally found to owning this, then I'd highly recommend you get this! Also if this is going to be your first leverless, there's an adjustment period, meaning you're going to struggle at first alittle bit and have to get used to using a leverless platform controller, that's completely nornal, just keep practicing and it will come, the comfort and layout of this kitsune makes it pretty easy to adjust to, making me believe it's a great beginner leverless!

200+ hours of Street fighter 6 on this I can finally leave my review.I have SF6 for both PC and PS5 and before I got this I was using the cheap bentobox/snackbox knock off from aliexpress for $50 dollars.ProsIts thin, light, feels premium and great for PS5 lap play. Before I got this I rarely played SF6 on my PS5 because the ali-express lever-less had a super small form factor and just wasn't comfortable for lap play at all and I didn't have a table directly in front of me to play at the height I wanted to. Now that I have it im playing on the PS5 as my primary.ConsThis thing is currently not "hot-swappable". And this is my opinion but I could use slightly lighter buttons and I would switch them out if I could. Trying to Drive rush on this thing by double tapping forward is not fast enough for me so I ended up just using the binded mp+lk button to trigger it.The Kitsune will probably be able swappable in the future just not right now. You can technically swap the switches out with other low profile ones but the current razer button caps will not fit perfectly causing the buttons to fall off or not be sturdy. So until razer decides to release extra switches that will work with their caps or some 3rd party decides to sell aftermarket caps that fit the switches you decide to use its a no go without serious modding.As of 11/19/2023 - The Kitsune will not wake up the PS5 using the PS5 button. You have to wake up the PS5 with a normal PS5 controller and once it wakes up you need to hit O to go back and then press the PS5 button on the kitsune to register. It would be better if you can wake up the PS5 with the Kitsune.I don't really like it for PC table play.. The thing has a good surface area and has enough space to rest your wrists and hands while playing on your lap and its perfect for that. However when I use it on my computer for table play it doesn't feel that great to me compared to my knock off ali-express. The aliexpress 3d printed one is small and thin as well and on table play your wrists are resting on the table and your fingers are on the buttons which feels fine however for the kitsune your wrist is resting on the kitsune and not the table which feels awkward to me like im trying to play the piano. But thats just me but I prefer playing on the ali-express on my computer because of this.Other thoughtsI use this thing for multiple hours a day and because the buttons are heavier than I am use to I had alot of finger fatigue and my wrist would also start hurting during early sessions which was a bummer because I felt like I wouldn't be able to play as much as I could with this. This may not be a problem for everyone but it was for me. I had to find ways online to prevent this and ended up getting things that would strengthen my fingers and my wrists and ever since I did that it was able to play for much longer sessions.This next part is also my opinion because it depends on your finger placement and the size of your hands but I feel that the buttons are little big and too spread out. Its not a super big issue and it doesn't bother me much but there were alot of times I was not able to react to Drive Impact fast enough because I was hitting lp or lk and the DI button is all the way on the other side. The buttons are 30mm but I feel if they were 28mm bringing it slightly closer then it would be perfect.With all that said hands down buy it if you are playing on a PS5 it is a must. But for PC/Table play I would just stick to my 3d printed aliexpress lever-less it works well, its hot swappable and its perfect for table play and I get no hand pains.
