Do you have the first version or the improved version #2?I have a ps4 SFV Mad Catz one and man is the d-pad/analog pad ass lmao. Feels like performing open heart surgery trying to pull off half circles. I might need to try this.
Thanks for that. Besides the shoulder buttons being too sensitive...I thought the price tag was a deal breaker. Like he said, I'll stick to my Hori, even though I think the dpad could be better, but it's been 3+ years now, and it's still working well for me.
The most detailed review yet, he pointed out the flaws that could be deal breakers to some.
If you're looking for a controller for the Switch, I highly recommend the 8Bitdo M30, it's cheaper and the d-pad is godlike. Doing command grabs in NRS games is so much easier with that controller. It also works wired. I'll be playing more with the Fusion, but I don't think it's going to replace the M30 as my main controller.Pads are mostly moot for me currently though. I'm generally using a hitbox type thing and you can replace anything easily. It's not portable though, and it looks like there is a Switch version for this, so maybe.
The lack of touchpad or a button to act like the touchpad is a dealbreaker. I have that in the fighting commander already.![]()
There's no touchpad, they should've at least replaced it with a button. This is really annoying with a game like MK 11 when I need to reset training. Enabling pause delay in the menu didn't help, pressing the Option button twice should normally reset training, but this controller refuses to do it most of the time.

You don't have to convince me about a tiny touchpad button.This is the only touchpad a PS4 fightpad would need.

The one on the Razer Raion is taking up too much space, it leaves little room for the 6 face buttons.
I prefer using the controller without the faceplate, I don't like how deep the d-pad is within the crevice, my thumb would brush against the surface of the controller when I slide it to the right. I don't have any issues with the d-pad with MK11 so far. I get instant air fireball with Akuma in SFV when entering the inputs for Hadoken with H.P. sometimes.Just got my fightpad.
If you cannot play without resting your finger on or near the bumpers, it's not the pad for you. Thankfully, I do not, and minor personal grip adjustments would make the controller my go-to. The Option and Share buttons are pretty inconsistent, but they're Options and Share buttons. Not really a big deal. D-pad is really loose, but I haven't felt any issues with consistency yet. Feels sturdy despite how lose it is, though. I was surprised at how hefty it feels in the hands, but I like it.
The cable feels really tough to remove and insert, but thankfully it's not a proprietary connection, so you can use whatever micro USB cable.
Once I get some serious playtime with it, I'll report back my full thoughts, but so far it feels solid, despite the issues.
Yeah I noticed that feeling right away. Felt kinda easy at first to get an up diagonal.I prefer using the controller without the faceplate, I don't like how deep the d-pad is within the crevice, my thumb would brush against the surface of the controller when I slide it to the right.

Here's a video showing it
I'm also going to spend more time with the controller. Are you going to get the Raion when it becomes available in North America? That controller is getting mixed reviews, the face buttons are apparently super sensitive.Okay, finally actual match experience! I played a bunch of SFV matches.
So, just like in practice mode, the bumper issue never bothered me once. My biggest concern was this, and it's very much a non-issue (At least if I'm playing with L1/L2 on the right and L3/R3 aren't mapped). The d-pad was generally very accurate and comfortable, though the sensitive diagonals popped up a couple times and got me a couple jumps. It's also a very different feel from most of my other pads, so it affects my inputs mentally, but I think time will solve this. I genuinely think some wear will reduce this over time, but it generally wasn't much of a thing. The raised parts of the pad are rough, though, so it could be uncomfortable for most who still have feelings in their thumbs lol.
Overall, it felt good and I never really felt like I was hampered with the controller in any way. But this is me, personally, and I generally feel like I adjust to different pads pretty easily. I still recommend the pad, and I'll keep an update if anything goes sour.
I may still. But I'm leery due to the reviews.I'm also going to spend more time with the controller. Are you going to get the Raion when it becomes available in North America? That controller is getting mixed reviews, the face buttons are apparently super sensitive.
I got it to work with all the fighting games on steam, you just have to check the Playstation configuration support in your general controller settings. I just found out that L2 and R2 are not actual triggers, they have no spring. I came very close to selling the controller, but after playing with it some more, I'm loving it now and keeping iti receive my controller . and i wouldnt recommend this controller. terrible compatibility on PC it wont show PS4 controls only has a xbox one controller on steam no matter what settings i put in big picture. also input wise it doesnt had anything really the dpad isnt has good as the classic saturn controller.
its a waste of money but the cable is top tier though.
