HORI Fighting Stick Mini for PS5, PS4, and PC - Officially Licensed by Sony

This is my first fight stick purchase. I don’t have any regrets. The value and quality are exceptional. It is compatible with PS4, PS5, and PC. It doesn’t have a touchpad button that some retro games require on the PS. This wasn’t a deal breaker for me. The size is small, but I like its compact ergonomics. I highly recommend this for a first fight stick purchase. If you really enjoy it, there are upgrades out there. 10/10

This is my first time ever buying a fighting stick. I recently downloaded a few platform games on my PS5 and wanted to try out a joy stick/fighting pad just for the fun of it. This fighting stick is dope. Never owned another so I can't compare but the quality and ease of use on this device is phenomenal. The buttons feel great and the whole unit is if good quality. joy stick is very responsive. However since it is so small there's a few cons. First, if you're playing on your lap, the unit will slide very easily due to its minuscule weight. Secondly, as I play on the PS5, there is no touch pad or a button you can use to access menus that touch pad provides on PS5 games. If a game you're playing requires you to press the touch pad to access it, you will have to connect your regular controller to gain access, and then switch back to the fighting stick to continue playing. A bit annoying but simple to get around. In summary, the construction, color and materials used are top notch. Literally plug and play. Super lightweight. I would recommend it to any beginners like myself that aren't looking to break the bank for a once in a while use of a fighting stick.

It is MINI!!! I laughed with shock and joy when I first removed it from the box! Super Lightweight fitting in the palm of my hand. The joystick feels nice and clicky with good buttons! I host fighting game tournaments and had players try it out during our last session. Many loved it for its size and how it felt to play games (specifically Tekken 8). Enjoyed by adult players, though notably excellent in size and weight for kids! May not be for all veteran players or fight stick familiar users as it doesn't lend itself to easy modding upon review and lacks the PS5 menu bar utilized for many fighting game menu shortcuts in practice modes. It is the only reason I gave it 4 stars as some people may sorely miss that feature. I also may apply rubber to the base so it doesn't slide on a lap during gaming. If you are looking for an arcade-style stick like this for fighting games or to play old-school arcade games this IS the best budget option at $59 (during the time of this review Feb 2024). If you are curious about using fight sticks for fighting games, this is a good entry point to try one out at a reasonable cost. I'm considering purchasing a second one for my events.

It looks and feels amazing, the stick is responsive, buttons are smooth, and it's everything I was hoping for. I was worried about the compact design at first, but it's the perfect size to fit on my small desk space and feels great.

I bought this as a "travel stick" for work trips to use with a steam deck to play primarily Street Fighter 6. While the size is perfect (it's like a larger paperback with a stick on it), it's just too light for use for 2d fighters like that. With many stick inputs even just a dash the whole case will tip to the side, even if it's grounded on a table or other surface. There's no way you would play with this in your lap like a normal stick. That said I'm giving it three stars because the joystick itself is kinda nice. I have another larger hori stick and they do make good parts. It might be OK if you just want a small controller for indie games or something, but even then I would recommend a larger size and look at the qanba drone or even that new 8bitdo maybe, which are both small but not this small.

I needed a fighting stick to take with my laptop and this thing works better than the one I have at home, so I ordered another for my desk top PC. Those of use that are not as dexterous as we used to can use them instead of W S A D to play games and this fits in my backpack with my laptop.

Fair advisory this is absolutely tiny! Especially for adult sized hand. Great for small hands, portability and on the GO, and children just learning how to play arcade games , platformers and even Fighting games. Please disregard another user's complaints about non compatibility in games , that user listed games that "need" 2 thumbsticks for camera and character movement. I played SF6 with this , an entire session of Celeste , tested Hollow Knight , and the Messenger. Perfect for shootemups , beatemups , platformers , metroidvanias , fighters , and all manners of arcade style games. Square gate joysticks , but no missed inputs in cardinal directions and angles , all 8 inputs registered perfect and immediate , actuation of buttons where perfect and responsive and satisfying. Even I with large hands did not feel cramped or inhibited movement.

I have been unwilling to spend $150-200 on a Fight Stick, so when someone finally recommended I look at this one, I went for it. Mechanically, the stick and buttons are good quality; I don't have enough experience with home sticks to give you comparison to other models/brands. The only problem I, personally, have with it is that the entire base is about the size of a hardcover book, and the buttons are full-size (I'm super glad they did not use mini-buttons), so the layout feels a little cramped for my hands. It's also very lightweight, and could probably use some weights in the base (I'm considering doing a DIY addition of those myself). All in all, it's great for the price point, or as an intro stick - now I know what things are important to me whenever I decide to get another. It's compact and light - which could be positives or negatives, depending on personal use/choice.

Some may cry "baby's first fight stick," but this is the perfect product for those interested in fighting games without investing hundreds of dollars in a premium stick. It gives you the arcade experience (with clicks on the stick to help you know what direction you're pushing) and is compatible with almost all fighting games out of the box on PS and PC.

In working condition.

El stick funciona perfectamente. Es responsivo y se conecta fácil tanto a mi ps5 como laptop. Recomendado.

Very good although pretty tiny, its good for travel that's it

Adapté à l’apprentissage du VS Fighting des plus jeunes. Pour les plus grands à réserver pour un usage occasionnel ou initiatique à mon humble avis…
