The original version came in black with a white and dark blue release later on. I won’t be tearing the stick apart to see how it works, and I won’t be looking into art and part modifications. Back in 2012 we reviewed Hori’s Fighting Edge for the PlayStation 3, a mighty beast of an arcade fighting controller with a fancy programmable touch panel. Tried that this morning, not working. My experience with the Fighting Edge has been very good, and I can only hope that the interesting features and Hayabusa joystick make it into a smaller unit at some point in the future. This feature is a little clumsy, but is functional in allowing you to remap the function of any button without opening and rewiring them. Fighting EDGE for PlayStation 4 * Officially Licensed by Sony * Brushed aluminum top panel * Featuring HORI original HAYABUSA stick and buttons * Programmable buttons, Tournament Mode, and more * Wired ControllerThe ultimate arcade stick that truly embraces the fighting game spirit is back on PlayStation 4. Most sticks come with Sanwa sticks and buttons these days, and in the past, Hori’s imitation parts really didn’t live up to the expectations set by Sanwa. We all spent time in training mode practicing difficult combos with the Fighting Edge and had no complaints. However in the update it gained a touchpad on the back of the unit as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack. A new addition (for HORI) is the tournament mode switch, which cuts inputs from the PS button, and the OPTIONS and SHARE buttons. Oct 28, 2017 1,808. The second thing I noticed is definitely my least favorite feature of the Fighting Edge. To do so, you simply hold the button to engage tournament mode a bit longer until you hear additional beeps. Hori also decided to ditch the auxiliary touch panel instead opting for a single 24mm options button off to top right and moving the auxiliary controls to the side of the unit. It feels even better. The Fighting Edge, however, looks like a serious piece of equipment; hardware meant truly for a professional. we reviewed Hori’s Fighting Edge for the PlayStation 3. Now, with help from long time fighting game execution master Sakonoko, Hori has created a stick and buttons to compete with Sanwa (and Seimitsu). While a more playful part of me wouldn’t have minded the bright LED lines down the sides, overall I am much happier with the PS4 Fighting Edge’s streamlined design. So i recently bought a Fighting Edge for the ps3 and used it a few min with no problems for the pc and SF 4, then i played a bit with the buttons and now its stuck in CNF mode and i cant turn it off, it just keeps blinking and wont do anything unless i press the mode switch button again. This version of the Fighting Edge also includes a headset jack, like other recent HORI models. I’ll be looking into some rubber washers to fix the issue. I went straight back to the included instructions to try to figure out how to turn the LEDs off. The 360 Fighting Edge was just too pretty though and I do want this one, but I want to see what the rattling/wiggling is like. We spent some time with the Hori Fighting Edge arcade stick, a stylish eight-button controller that features a Hori-designed stick lever and buttons. Back in 2012 we reviewed Hori’s Fighting Edge for the PlayStation 3, a mighty beast of an arcade fighting controller with a fancy programmable touch panel. This isn’t as much of a formal review as it is a quick hands-on. If the screw is too close to the mount for the stick on the closest button (Lk) you can sand it down and place the screw in place, insert the button and turn it into the screw for the last button. The last feature I want to talk about is the button remapping the touch panel on the Fighting Edge offers. I, like many others, felt only desire when first laying eyes on the Hori Fighting Edge. Finally, it was time to actually try to coveted new Hayabusa arcade stick and Kuro buttons included in the Fighting Edge. Now the stick works while fighting and some buttons are disabled but it will not work in menus etc. HAYABUSA buttons have lower clearance than typical buttons for quick input and a smooth matte finish with metallic accents for style and performance. Guess ill replug it some more then. Both the Xbox and PS3 versions included Hori Hayabusa levers, Kuro Buttons, a plexi cover and LED lights on both sides of the top panel. Hori boasts that these buttons cut wear and tear by 60%, rattle less due to less spacing between the housing and button, and minimize vibrations from button pressing for a softer feel. On the bottom left the Japanese kanji for "yaiba" (meaning blade) was etched into the top plexi.

A player who travels by airplane fairly often may want to consider this as a negative, as they’ll need extra room in their bags for this monster. Most sticks come with Sanwa sticks and buttons these days, and in the past, Hori’s imitation parts really didn’t live up to the expectations set by Sanwa.
