I think a few more iterations on this design could produce a best-in-class gamepad for fighting games! using keyswitches for the dpad/stick/thing by mouting them sideways is a really awesome idea. also you could add some neoprene foam on the bottom to stop slippage, I did that with my leverless. EDIT: as a now-owner of this pad, I 100% recommend the neoprene foam, not only is it anti-slip it also MASSIVELY improves how comfortable the controller is. It went from genuinely uncomfortable to actually usable after applying the foam. I'm using a sheet from McMaster-Carr, item no. 1601N234
I think so too. If he can improve the ergonomics and also make the shoulder buttons better this could be an awesome controller. The shoulder buttons on it suck and that's a big reason why I can't buy it or I would have already
I would DEFINITELY also love it for retro and retro-styled games, especially with the design inspirations from the Genesis. They finally made the Turbo Touch 360 good. Good on them.
I'm glad you're enjoying the controller and now I'm curious about this neoprene foam. So I'm guessing it's something you stick to/apply to the bottom? Is it anti slip on clothing too? Maybe you could tweet me a picture or create a youtube short so I could see exactly what you're talking about. Thank you for the feedback by the way
Steamdecks square gate trackpads are godlike for streetfighter games. You remove Jump and put in on Right Shoulder (bumper) button. Zero mistakes, zero fatigue, fast double taps, portable. This is why we NEED Steam Controller 2.Don't @ me, b4 you try it. At which point, you will be blown away.
@@ForeverWinter1812 Well I did base it on the M30 to begin with and then when I was working on the dpad/joystick part I did take inspiration from the neogeo pad :P
@@bananafaction9871M30 is too tiny for me. I love the feel but I get cramped too easily. Cool idea but I personally will stick with the series x controller.
The design could be remade to work similar to a fight stick so the user can easily swap between circle, square, or octogonal gates. I would like to see a version where it has hand grips that way it would be easier to use the buttons on the top. That way you don't have to use your index to stabilize the controller.
This controller has a lot of potential. It just needs to be slim down a bit and made more comfortable to hold. Maybe separate the face buttons a little bit. I'm glad to see someone is taking the neo Geo clicky stick and making it usable again.
i’ve been thinking that my dream fight pad would be the 8bitdo xbox m30 layout (6 face buttons and 4 shoulder buttons) with the NeoGeo d-pad and someone went and made it :o
I think a square gate on a fighting commander would be sick, I love playing dpad, but the same ergonomics like the spinning cap and square gate for a regular joystick would fix alot of issues I have with playing stick, octo is just not as good, love to see hori do something like that.
i'm making my own controller and i have the same idea of using a slide pad instead of a regular d-pad. but i'm not planning on using keyboard switches for this. instead it will be small switches. theoretically this will give a much faster response.
the redragon switches I use are basically rebranded outemus. Although Outemus are considered one of the lowest quality switch; theryre still better than membrane buttons and still rated for 50 million clicks so depend how much you use it, the switches should in theory last a couple of years.
@@bananafaction9871 Well I just mean swap them out with higher gram spring switches, clickier, or smoother switches whatever you feel would be more comfortable.
For extra chonky switches maybe you could stick some Kailh Box Jades or Navy in there. Those are some CHONKY clicks for mechanical keyboards that could fit.
This looks amazing! I would absolutely pick it up (especially cuz I’m left handed and the left stick on my Xbox pad isn’t the greatest due to heavy SnapBack issues). Too bad it’s not in stock on the Etsy shop at this time 😔
The stick looks like it has too much throw to it and seems kind of awkward. I'd rather have a more traditional D-pad with microswitches underneath like the Razer Wolverine does.
the NGPC stick is superior. the throw was smaller and it was very easy to dash with. the only drawback was the lack of a square gate. i'd like to see someone replicate that stick.
There's some defs room for improvement for this design, not using blue keyboard switches for the dpad would be good given that blue switches have hysteresis which is horrible for doing double inputs. I am excited to see where this goes.
I think if the buttons were smaller it would probably be better that way you can push more of them down at the same time because yeah your fingertips are pretty much the same size as the button
Why can't there be more controllers out there with microswitches for the dpad and switches for the face and shoulder buttons? I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat. Like I know the Hori Octa has face button switches but the dpad on it sucks and doesn't have it nor do the shoulder buttons
The razer raion has mouse switches for the dpad and keyboard switches for the face buttons. Otherwise the closest thing after that is the razer wolverine v3 pro
You know, I'm still hoping for a fightpad that actually has an arcade stick button layout, preferably the Astro City layout. Having the buttons set on the diamond like a conventional control pad has always made me hold the controller oddly.
Idk for most fighting games would rather have a Dpad. Using analog stick movement for the Dpad just feels weird lol. I would make it interchangeable Dpads, controller little bit bigger round of the corners for easy grip, shoulder buttons should be bigger. A lot of improvements is needed but it’s a start👍
A perfect example that the pad space is heavily understudied so there is a lot of room to make fightpads way, way better than ever. But still think that it is need to innovate more, use more fingers on hands at once for example
It uses the gp2040ce firmware so all the buttons can be remapped. Also I no longer make this version of the controller. Ive moved on to a second version, FightWedge V2, which is very similar but improved.
@@PhilMao Thanks. Also if you live in the USA I recommend you decide before February 1st as Trump said he will start imposing a 25% Tariff on Canadian goods starting that day. (I live/sell from Canada) We dont know if he will really do it but its just something to be aware of. Have a great day :)
Yeah the padbox is probably better if you want to use all your fingers for the buttons. I made the FightWedge with a regular controller/gamepad grip in mind
@@bananafaction9871hi there, are you the creator and seller of this new fightpad? Looks cool, i have two questions, first one is how much reliable are the face and also shoulder buttons in order to perform things like street fighter 3rd strike ex moves or v ism activations in alpha 3 ? Do you ship to italy? Thanks, see ya man. :)
I dont make this version of the fightpad anymore. I created a new version called FightWedge V2. Theres a different youtuber who reviewed it and said its particularly well suited for 2D games like street fighter 6 and that its ok for 3D fighters but probably not perfect.
If sony or other manufacturing enginering tech brand will do the same gameplad and after 2-6 mounths fails / goes broke .......what's the damage for Sony and what't the damage for this small manufacturing brand ? 🤔🤔🤔I think they can do it futher more they can made it much better with nice design and high quality materials . If isn't sustenability? What's the size of the market ? Fighting games market .....with gamepad . If it is worth they probabily will do it . 😇

Actually I think I may try this.
Okay, that looks mad uncomfortable, ngl.
@thechampagneroom1 dude, even SpongeBob Plug-and-play joysticks are more comfortable than a Joycon.
Basically a SEGA had it right with the six button layout
Basically just the Sega Saturn gamepad.
This is quite literally the Sega Saturn controller with a neo Geo clicky sliding d-pad.

An octagonal or rounded square gate probably would be best for this.
octagonal gates SUCK

1:34 it's called "Filament Stringing"

FINALLY!!!!
The stick looks like it has too much throw to it and seems kind of awkward. I'd rather have a more traditional D-pad with microswitches underneath like the Razer Wolverine does.
It should be in the shape of that old Capcom Streetfighter controller for the SNES.
It kinda sucks this doesn’t ship to my country, would be very nice to use
This is a Waveshare Zero controller, a Pico Pi clone using the same chip
the NGPC stick is superior. the throw was smaller and it was very easy to dash with. the only drawback was the lack of a square gate. i'd like to see someone replicate that stick.
There's some defs room for improvement for this design, not using blue keyboard switches for the dpad would be good given that blue switches have hysteresis which is horrible for doing double inputs. I am excited to see where this goes.
Kind of makes me want to try designing my own
I think if the buttons were smaller it would probably be better that way you can push more of them down at the same time because yeah your fingertips are pretty much the same size as the button
Funny that you should say that because I read a different comment wishing the buttons were bigger 😂. Ah gamepads are so subjective I guess
Is it better than the Fighting Commander though?
Why can't there be more controllers out there with microswitches for the dpad and switches for the face and shoulder buttons? I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat. Like I know the Hori Octa has face button switches but the dpad on it sucks and doesn't have it nor do the shoulder buttons

@@bananafaction9871 I'd love to try the Razer Raion but I don't think Razer even makes them anymore. Only place I can find them is on ebay
I hope the creator makes an option to get different switches
You know, I'm still hoping for a fightpad that actually has an arcade stick button layout, preferably the Astro City layout. Having the buttons set on the diamond like a conventional control pad has always made me hold the controller oddly.
Thats exactly what I want for directional movement. Joystick on the Duelsense is unreliable sometimes.
Idk for most fighting games would rather have a Dpad. Using analog stick movement for the Dpad just feels weird lol. I would make it interchangeable Dpads, controller little bit bigger round of the corners for easy grip, shoulder buttons should be bigger. A lot of improvements is needed but it’s a start👍
This looks like a bar of soap.
if this had an option for octogonal gate this would be godlike!!
Hello sir, just want to ask if the qanba obsidian pearl is compatible to tekken 8 ps5? Thanks for your reply
I think that looks cool af. I wouldnt use it but its nice
Look like a squared version of the neogeo controller pad
Doesn't ship to Germany :(
It looks really good though.
Is this linked anywhere?
Can you play sparking zero using this?
A perfect example that the pad space is heavily understudied so there is a lot of room to make fightpads way, way better than ever. But still think that it is need to innovate more, use more fingers on hands at once for example
The neo geo pocket dpad was not built like this, it had vertical up down switches, this is emulating neo geo cd controllers!
Do you take suggestions I have had 1 of the greatest ideas but no source for construction?
I dunno whats the suggestion?
Nooooooo ... 6-button is best ... MOAR BUTTAWNS!!
Can somebody tell me if the buttons can be remapped?
It uses the gp2040ce firmware so all the buttons can be remapped. Also I no longer make this version of the controller. Ive moved on to a second version, FightWedge V2, which is very similar but improved.

Just placed an order for the Magenta color this morning. Super excited for this. Thanks again
The controller shell is def way too small.
I would prefer the padbox

But you cant buy it, right? 😢
And for Tekken??? 😢
Looks like a soap bruh.
Wanna try it on tekken anybody tried this for a 3d fighter ?

Good lord no.
It looks like a 🤮🤢💩let’s be honest, for real.
I prefer something working well than something looking good tbh
Its doesn't looks good.
Stop saying everything is best, looks trash, sure it plays the same 💀
NGP clicky stick is underrated and under-utilized in gaming. It's a real shame it hasn't made a comeback. I want to try this wedge.
