The Razer Kitsune hits a frame-perfect combo of ultra-light, ultra-thin, ultra-stylish fighting gaming. It swaps out a joystick for an all-button layout which makes movement input faster and more consistent. A must-have for anyone looking to take their fighting game skills to the next level.<\/p>\n

For as long as I’ve been playing fighting games, I’ve always done it with whatever the controller of the moment was: Xbox 360, DualShock 4, and (shudder) the DualSense. Listen, that last one is good, but it’s terrible <\/em>for fighting games thanks to its ridiculously mushy d-pad. Nobody wants a mushy d-pad when they’re trying to rapid-fire directional inputs. And as someone who loves getting a long nail manicure, they were causing me to misinput all over the gaff.<\/p>\n

I tried fight sticks previously but couldn’t get with the whole, well, stick <\/em>part of it. Then earlier this year, I finally made the switch to a leverless controller. One that trades out any sort of analog inputs for a flat, all-button setup. And you know what? It’s been a game changer. I’ve been rocking a mid-range one kindly borrowed from a friend, but I finally have a reason to invest in a leverless of my own: the fantastic Razer Kitsune is currently at its lowest-ever price on Amazon.<\/p>\n
