Review: This could be the right stick for you if..... - If you want a light-ish arcade stick with clamshell design for modding access, built in handles for picking up off the ground or tournament ease of use, USB wire organizer inside the case, good stock buttons/lever, native PS5 support, this is for you. To emphasize the buttons and lever being good, I'm used to either Sanwas or low profile mechanical buttons and these feel great. They took a bit of getting used to however. I disliked them at first and was already shopping online for replacements on the first few weeks I had the Hori Alpha. Thankfully I stuck with them and now realize why people even bothered swapping these in to other sticks. The case design is noticeably plastic which puts off a lot of people but it's not a negative to me. Makes for a lighter case, and looks somewhat retro. It opens up for modding and storage for whatever you need to bring with you. The cable has an organizer built in but it's not detatchable. The extra buttons are on the top of the stick and not on the side which I prefer. Much easier for me to reach rather than side ones like on the Daija. Speaking of the Daija I returned that stick for this one because of the wrist rest being uncomfortable, the Alpha's design fixes that problem for me. The Hori Alpha is the most ergonomic stick I've owned besides my leverless. The native PS5 support is the icing on the cake, most tournaments use PS5 for SF6 so it's convenient that I don't have to use an adapter for compatibility. I haven't modded it yet but I plan to in the future. For now it's a great controller as it is.
Review: First stick I've ever owned - I grew up playing in arcades figured I'd buy a stick for fun. Great product, if you question the quality, don't. Hori has been around the block for a long time and it's superb. Would recommend anyone to get the stick honestly. I haven't delved too deep into customizing with fancy buttons and artwork yet but I intend to and it seems extremely easy to customize. Additional info: I've been modifying the stick over the past few months. Findings: Seimitsu PS-14 30mm Snap In Pushbuttons do NOT fit perfectly. I can still use them, but they don't snap in like the buttons included with the stick (HORI's Hayabusa line). When I push them into place, they fit fine but the actual snap in doesn't engage. Presumably because the distance between the button housing itself and the snap in mechanic is too short on the Seimitsu meaning it just doesn't engage. They're still securely in place and when you're using the arcade stick, you're pushing down toward the housing, so it doesn't even matter they don't click in. Just something I figured I'd point out if you're a stickler for perfection. If you're looking to change the lever itself: I've tried searching for countless hours to find the exact measurements of the stock lever itself (Hayabusa I presume) but HORI doesn't have the measurements anywhere that I could find...so I dismantled it myself and measured it. There is a chart online that most enthusiasts use to help them visualize the measurements of popular levers/brands, you can google "slagcoin joystick attributes" and click the first link. Toward the middle of the page you can find the chart and it's definitions. I will be using the terminology from that website to define the measurements of the Hayabusa lever. From handle to plate it's 35mm and from plate to base it's 35mm as well. Looking on twitter I saw someone saying they tried the LSX-NOBI-01 and it didn't fit within the housing of the HORI Alpha (the base of the lever would hit the bottom of the housing). The LSX-NOBI-01's plate to base is 43.7mm but it just barely didn't fit according to them (they had a video and it showed like barely 2mm too long based on what I could see). I plan on installing a Seimitsu LS-56 and in theory it should fit. The LS-56 measures at 38.5mm meaning it's a little longer than the Hayabusa lever but not nearly as long as NOBI's lever. I will update this review a third time after I install it. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite figure out a reliable way to perfectly measure the distance available within the housing if anyone was wondering. If you're looking to change out the lever I'd say stick with anything shorter than 41mm or less just to be safe. There is also a way to make more room apparently by mounting it using an SS plate. last edit: The LS-56-01 fits and plays wonderfully!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fair price for a fine stick.
*by J***. on March 13, 2025*

I picked this up when Street Fighter 6 launched as I figured it was about time I replaced my Qanba Q1. I'm no fight stick connoisseur, so I don't think I could tell a great difference between the buttons and joysticks, but maybe the buttons on this Hori had a shorter throw than those on the Qanba. A very obvious difference in the two sticks was their form factor; this Hori dwarfs the Qanba, and I quite like how well it sits in my lap. As much as I like this stick and feel it was priced fairly, it's not quite perfect for me; currently the weight on the stick is sufficient but could be even heavier, and while the short throw, easy-to-press buttons are probably somebody's cup of tea, I appreciate a button with a bit more 'oomph'. I should note that it looks like the stick is set up in such a way that making customizations will be a fairly straightforward process. If you're looking for a stick in this price range, I reckon you'll be quite satisfied with this guy.
