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

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.

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.

More for the casual players, but well made.

I tried using this HORI fighting mini arcade stick before twice and it was not working for me plus there was an issue with the front ports in my PS5 slim ( the front ports on the slim and regular versions are a little different from each other) so I had to get a converter for it. I decided to give this arcade stick a third chance to see if it works. I tried using it with Street fighter 6 and it worked so I was very happy with the results. I have to see if this arcade stick works with the other fighting games like KOFXV or Tekken 8 so I will give an update later on. Update 11/8/25: I tried using the arcade stick with KOFXV and Tekken 8 and it works well.

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.

It is a GREAT entry level/budget arcade stick for fighting games. Ive had it for about a year now im doing my review late Im doing many all at once, Ill leave a video with me using it as well.

For the price it’s pretty good. I didn’t care for the square resistor that comes with the fighting stick so I found a 3D file that some one made on-line and printed out an octagonal resistor making it much easier to pull off special moves. I also added about eleven 1 oz sticky tire weights on the inside to make it a tad heavier and that helped prevent the base from moving around on my lap. Buttons are responsive but I might change out the nob. These are all personal preferences but the stick did what it claimed to do. Beware that there’s no touch pad so certain fighting games you will need to use a controller assist on a different controller!

It has done exactly what I wanted it to do, it works with Guilty gear strive, Granblue fantasy versus and even other games I didn't expect it to work in, its great

In working condition.

Bien protegido, buen producto pero debería de ser circular y no cuadrada la base para que el joystick agarre mejor

Ottimo prodotto ad essere pignoli se la manetta fosse stata un pelino più alta sarebbe stato perfetto

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…
