Missing screws and worn buttons
Came in missing scres so the holders fell off and are missing like if someone took it apart and tried to fix it . The buttons were immediately stuck and worn

Solid Hitbox Controller
This is the first hitbox controller I’ve ever had, and the second time I’ve purchased it.
The first one, unfortunately, didn’t survive after a losing streak and lasted approximately one year.
Despite being a bit squeaky, it is really sturdy and durable.
It feels a lot better than a gamepad.
The stock switches seem okay, but I would recommend Kailh Shadow Hunting switches or other low-profile alternatives as replacements.
They make it easier to put less pressure on the keys when holding block compared to the original ones.
Overall, I think this controller is great and does everything that it is supposed to do.

First fightstick
This is my first fightstick and it came earlier than expected, thankful for that! The packaging was very minimal compared to the fightstick I bought for my girlfriend (8Bitdo SNES-style arcade stick); Just a cardboard box with bubble wrap packaging inside containing the hitbox, USB-C cord, instructions and additional accessories.
Very easy to use once you read the instructions! It defaults into the Xbox/Windows/Steam profile so if you’re on that, it’s plug and play! If you’re on another device, I do recommend referring to the instructions.
Functions great, buttons feel good after an hour or so of use, input feels solid.
Construction is what you expect as the price point and thankfully not too much of a concern. Nothing came loose or broken but you can feel the acrylic cringe a bit if you bend the controller even slightly so I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS CONTROLLER IF YOU RAGE WHILE GAMING.
Overall, solid controller for fighting games!

came out of box broken
Black one broken. Right button is always pressed. However returned and got the white one. Apon asking in the discord. This vendor produces the Black one thus the removal of the Haute42 logo. While the company produced the White one.

Works Great, Tournament Ready Stick
This product is great. I also have a snackbox micro and those 2 sticks are going to make gaming tons of fun. Check out my video.

LED Lights on controllers are so freaking cool.
I received the Haute 42 Hautepad R16 relatively fast after I shipped it and man, it was pretty good.
It has a pretty simple setup before getting the controller to work with your games. You might have to watch a (short) YT video about setting it up for your first time though as it comes with a piece of paper whose instructions leave a bit to be desired. After that (small) initial hurdle, you’re good to go.
If you’re new to these type of controllers, keep in mind that they primarily work with 2D fighting games and if you try to get them to work with other genres of games (or even non 2D fighting games) you’ll either run into poor results/it not working at all.
It’s decently heavy but not so heavy that you couldn’t carry it in a bag. Haute typically has smaller, lighter controllers if that’s more your speed.
The Buttons are pretty responsive, not much delay between button press and action which is good. The LED monitor in the top left corner (and the LED buttons light up) perfectly displays what buttons you’re pressing. Also the LED lights are *chef’s kiss*. The design of it is slick and slim, pretty cool if ya ask me.
I could definitely say it’s worth the price tag, but again if $100 is a money sink that you’re not willing to put forward, this same company has just as good options at lower price points [also might not have the cool LEDs :( ]

Great product. Best for fighting and arcade games!
Got it a few days and started to try out immediately. It feels great! The material is superior. I think it's glass, which lets my hand rest well. The RGB light for those keystrokes is beautiful. Very eye catching. I connected this with my gaming PC, and it worked very well. Mortal Combat recognized it as an Xbox controller. Recommend for fighting and arcade games!
Pro tip: Please search it in YouTube and there is a video tutorial that tells you how to fully customize this controller. You may need update the firmware if it doesn't work at the first time.

Awesome Fight Controller
If you want an awesome fight controller without the stick then this is the one for you. Great LED effects and customize to your liking. Nice little lcd screen to let you know your edits and keys. Look no further this is a great controller board.
