I bought this to use on a PS5 with Tekken and it works great. If you are planning to use this on a PS5 though, you will need to buy a joystick converter dongle and plug it into the controller otherwise it will disconnect every 7-8 minutes. And when you do go to plug in the dongle, it is a very snug fit. Review: Almost perfect.. - I am loving this thing. The design the buttons the size it's pretty awesome. However there is an 8 minute time out that occurs when I play. I have updated the latest firmware done everything everyone says to do and still get an 8 minute authentication time out.. it says if you connect an officially licensed Playstation controller that this shouldn't happen but it still does even after I do that.. it's a little frustrating I ordered a separate 40$ haute adapter that I'm really hoping resolves the issue otherwise will have to send both products back sadly. If I can figure the 8 minute time out issue this would be a perfect 5 star rated product for me.. if I figure it out and the adapter I ordered fixes I'll change reviews to 5 stars.. ## Features - Versatile Compatibility: Replacing a joystick with 4 movement buttons, bring you more precise input.

Buttons are responsive and have a nice clicky sound if you're into that. Mainly use it for Tekken and it's gotten me to do combos I would otherwise have issues executing with a console controller. Great purchase for me since I mainly use the d-pad over analog. Only thing better would be if I could swap out the button pads with something that could show what button I'm pressing (X, Square, Triangle, etc). Other than that, pretty happy with my purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Haute42 Leverless Controller for Arcade Gaming: R16 Retro Rims Series - Thinner & Pinky Button(20.6mm) - 16 Keys Crystal Low-profile Switch - Custom RGB Controller for PC/Switch/PlayStation(Black) - MAYFLASH MagicBoots FPS Adapter Arcade Joystick Converter All-Button Controller Converter Supports PS5 Fighting Games Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/650402842-haute42-leverless-controller-for-arcade-gaming-r16-retro-rims-series](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/650402842-haute42-leverless-controller-for-arcade-gaming-r16-retro-rims-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-07*
