The HyperX Clutch Tachi could be the next major leverless fighting game controller. It’s the first “Hit Box” controller to feature TMR sensors, which are even more accurate and sensitive than Hall Effect switches. The Xbox-licensed controller also has an ergonomic design that should let you play for extended training sessions, and it’s highly customizable, too.
I’m a huge fan of fighting games, so I was instantly drawn to the Clutch Tachi when I saw it at an HP CES event. Though I’m not as adept at using these controllers as I am with the best fight sticks, I appreciate the peripherals for the precision they deliver. And of all the leverless controllers I’ve tested, the Clutch Tachi stands out due to its low profile and ease of use. I can see the FGC (fighting game community) falling in love with this controller.
