Hori Fighting Stick Mini for PS5® console, PS4® console, and PC - Officially Licensed by Sony

The media could not be loaded. Here’s my review:This Arcade Stick just launched and it’s my first PS5 stick, although I own many others from Hori Hayabusa to Madcatz. I’ve been collecting sticks on many of the previous generations of consoles going all the way back to the SNES, through PS1, Dreamcast, etc. The smaller size of this model took me by surprise and is ideal for my small hands while being really responsive. In Street Fighter V I’m able to pull off all my moves with Ryu and other characters. There’s no issue as the mini size makes things a lot easier with less travel. People say that it’s too lightweight and slips.. well, I disagree and don’t have any issues, while finding it perfect on my lap. It’s so comfortable and responsive, coupled with the fact that the buttons are nice and have a good tactile crisp response with extreme precision. The main thing that I like is that it’s not too big or cumbersome, mostly, not heavy on my lap either. I was in two minds when preordering this arcade stick, but now I’m glad I didn’t cancel it and have found my new love to aid me in becoming a better warrior for my fighting games. It’s absolute perfection and at £55 a real bargain with a durable feel and pleasant modern aesthetics.I may have other more expensive sticks, but I’ve taken a huge liking to this due to it being a lightweight option that has a small footprint. I know for sure that I’ll be using this as my go to option. True, you can’t upgrade it, there’s no cable management/storage, but I don’t need all of that - I just need a quick and cheerful way to get into my gaming.It’s also great for retro games like Streets Of Rage 4, Double Dragon and Final Fight, with no problematic issues to speak of whatsoever. This controller is beautifully made with high quality components and is well designed. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and recommend it to any PS4/PS5/PC fighting fan… it’s a real beauty and proudly matches my PS5 Digital console in all its glory. The arcade stick market is saturated and people always complain about things, Sanwa fans hate Hayabusa sticks and vice versa. With this stick, Hori has used its own propriety parts from their decades of experience and nothing has been compromised in delivering a solid portable option for fighting fans everywhere. Obviously you wouldn’t use it as a tournament stick, but most gamers are casual players at home on their couch. Even though I do have tournament sticks, I can see myself using this for pure convenience and comfort. Hori have delivered on their promise and I have no affiliations with them. I’m a fussy gamer and have bought this with my own money, so pleasing me is an achievement in itself. Indeed, I’m very happy with my new purchase. I’ve been playing Japanese arcade fighting games and beat em ups for most of my life, so if I say it’s good, it’s good… brilliant in fact. Go and get one now and have the peace of mind that it’s money well spent.SCORE 5/5

Great item far more fun to play mortal Kombat 11 with the proper controlsJust like the arcade's the fight stick is well made.Works on ps5 as listed . Worth every penny.

Its small and compact you dont need anything extra just plug and play and it works straight out the box. No adapters needed

Hoped to use it for fighting games not disappointed great buttons and joystick super responsive great for 55 quid good quality sits on lap nice when on sofa small size stores away good recommend

Wallet friendly and if you're unsure of getting a fight stick, this could be the ideal stop gap for that transition period. No input lag and you could swap for Sanwa buttons as an upgrade. I actually prefer the button layout but if you have bigger hands this may be a little issue.

Stick feels like it's got a weak return to neutral from the X+ axis and often stays in X+ position just slightly outside of neutral. Thus drifts to the right.. Not sure if i just need to "wear it in" a little to eliminate this or it's a straight out of the box problem. Have barely attempted to use it for 5 minutes before giving up and searching online for solutions.. not a good start tbh..

Love this arcade stick. Hori never fails to impress. Perfect for the casual gamer. Bought it to play Tekken 8 mostly. Decent price too for an arcade stick.

Just bought it to see if it was enjoyable the controller itself sucks in almost every way but it was enough to convince me to buy a more expensive pad
