Arcade sticks are finally getting the artistic treatment they deserve. Fightbox just dropped the R10 Pro Special Artwork Edition, featuring stunning designs by Cary T. Self, and let’s just say it’s a visual stunner. But don’t let the pretty face fool you; this is a serious piece of hardware that’s already earned top recommendation status for its near-instantaneous, sub-one-millisecond latency.
The big news here is the 8-button configuration. I recently tested the 6-button version and was impressed, but this new model adds two extra buttons without ballooning the footprint. Honestly? It feels nearly identical in hand. If you’re a purist who never uses the extras, stick to the 6-button. If you want that flexibility without sacrificing desk space, the 8-button is a no-brainer. It’s a solid trade-off compared to massive, heavy alternatives like the Viewlix.
Fightbox is also rolling out a $15 non-slip bottom pad, which is perfect for players who balance their sticks on their laps and hate the wobble. I’m currently testing the light-up button version, and while I’m a longtime Sanwa fan, I’m curious if the glow will win me over or just annoy me. Either way, whether you’re chasing high scores or just want a controller that looks as good as it plays, this is worth a look. Check out the full review for the lowdown on button feels and setup.
