#hitbox #guiltygearstrive #fgc
In today's video, we're taking a look at both popular leverless controllers Hitbox from Hitbox Arcade and the NEW Snackbox Micro from Junkfood Arcades. Both controllers boast seamless and easy to learn interfaces for playing fighting games both casually and competitively, but only one of them is better to buy. I have been using the hitbox for over a year and the snackbox micro for a little over 6 months, and I think its time for me to give my honest comparison and opinion on these two controllers. In this video I review both the hitbox and snackbox and break the controllers down into their most basic pros and cons in order to help you make the best decision on which one you should be purchasing in 2023! I hope you all enjoy the video, if you did likes and comments help a ton! Lots of life stuff has been going on that's put content on hold, but I promise I have huge plans coming for this channel that I cannot wait to share with all of you, see you all in the next video and thanks for all your support!

What controller will you be buying? Hitbox or Snackbox?

@affinity601 Год назад

Wasnt going to go with either and just stick to my fightbox but i realized the snackbox has an xl version so snackbox for sure

The main benefit for the hitbox for me is the size and weight. Also the felt pad at the bottom just makes it super nice

@MunsterNation 3 месяца назад

Completely agree, I really like the hefty and premium feel of the hitbox. It is a bit heavy though lol

@TerpsiKo Год назад

why the fuck. is something like a snackbox, a plastic(?) housing with 12 fuckin switches and a pcb more expensive than something like a full Wooting hall effect switch keyboard with hand pre-lubed switches, foam inserts, steel (I think) switch mount, etc. etc? It's basically a keyboard with 12 switches instead of like... 104?? I don't understand the pricing at all.

@ThomMurphy 11 месяцев назад

Not quite the same economies of scale. Also, the SnackBox PCB is designed to work with various platforms, rather than the platforms being designed to work with the keyboard. Mobile app for different platforms. Higher average wage per man hour. Centralized support and customer service with quick and effective turn around times. Supply/demand. Loads of reasons beyond the bill of materials.

@xPlatinumGhost Год назад

Im thinking of getting a Hitbox and the more reviews I see I lean more towards the snack box just because it’s up to date.

@Wrekkshoppe Год назад

The Snackbox is the overall better fight box. It's latest versions are compatible with all current and last gen home consoles as well as PC. No proprietary cables to worry about as all that's needed is a standard USB-C cable. Its pretty much perfect. Junkfood Arcade did the damn thing. Hitbox has a ways to go in comparison.

@MunsterNation Год назад

True! I hope they catch up soon though!

@Wrekkshoppe Год назад

@MunsterNation The HITBOX manufacturers can catch up if they make competent alterations to the current design. No fight stick or controller should be using proprietary cables when we live in an age of the durable USB-C cable. Hell, Victrix recently released their hitbox style fighting controller, and yeah it's ridiculously expensive, but it's selling. It's a great controller. Hitbox really needs to update it's design for quality of life improvements.

@akiodaisu 11 месяцев назад

As far as the hitbox goes with PS5 support, you can use the Brook FGC converter dongle thing or you can use the breakout kit which allows you to connect a ufb with an up5 extension (I think that’s the right word) to allow for native PS5 connection without the need for a converter.

@MunsterNation Месяц назад

Yeah I agree but at the same time that takes another amount of money out of my wallet plus shipping and imports. I wish they just upgraded the board already

@mrnobody6609 Год назад

I have a Victrix Pro FS12, SnackBox Micro, and a Chinese knockoff of the Snackbox Micro called a "FightBox". My favorite is actually the Chinese knockoff. It just feels the best, has the best buttons, and was only like $80. In my opinion, the SnackBox Micro is expensive but feels cheap, and the FightBox is cheap but feels expensive. The Victrix is expensive and feels expensive, as it should. Oddly enough, my least favorite is the Victrix. It feels great and all, and it might just be my technique, but it doesn't register every input. Even if it's my technique that's the issue, it will definitely be solved with a different type of button, which I will try. It's also not very comfortable on my lap. The width is perfect, but the depth is too much. I actually have to move my chair further away from my desk than normal, or the Victrix will hit it. In my opinion, you should do what I did. Buy a cheap Chinese "Fightbox" to see if you'll even like these types of controllers, then upgrade later if you want. However, the FightBox is actually pretty great. It's my favorite.

@edwardwongliupepelutivrusk1262 Год назад

Dam Bro, Victrix Pro FS12 isn't the best one for you? That cost a ton.

@tzera_rhuon Год назад

Whereabouts did you purchase the Fightbox? I'd like to try this type of controller but not necessarily excited about dropping 300$ for one.

@mcdonamw Год назад

@ThatOtherAndrew Год назад

I was considering the Hitbox just because it's the first one I ever heard about, but I think I'll get the Snackbox XL. All the reviews put the SB far above the HB, and although the SB is a bit more expensive (and out of stock), I'm willing to wait for what seems like a vastly better product.

I think the snackbox is better for people with smaller hands for the smaller buttons, hitbox vice versa. This style also feels very natural coming from a piano background, literally pressing keys lol

@ardidsonriente2223 Год назад

Thank you very much. After years suffering to adapt to stick control (and discovering I'm three times better with just a pad), I honestly hate all things related to it, so knowing the Hitbox is more similar to "traditional" (puke) stick make it an easy choice for me.

@guymontag5084 3 месяца назад

Imo both the snackbox micro and hitbox are overpriced now at $200+, so whichever leverless you think is cool. Might actually be better to start with a wooting keyboard since you can adjust actuation height of the keyboards, set it so the button stops being pressed when you start to lift the switch up (i.e. if you go below actuation height, then stop pressing down, as it goes up it will not be "pressed"), and you can use the wooting keyboard for everything on your pc, it's good for fps, etc.

@MunsterNation 3 месяца назад

I mean with the micro you’re paying for the new brook board for the most part in that price. If u take a look at the Micro Lite you’ll see that sub 200$ prices definitely exist and JFA’s products do actually go on sale from time to time. I dont know much about Wooting keybords, but its all preference so if you find it better than all the power to you! I just haven’t found a reason not to like the Micro and I’ve felt that the hitbox is so outdated at the moment.

@SlCKNESS_ 2 месяца назад

You have to keep in mind that, in a game like Tekken 8 for example, a keyboard does not function exactly like a hitbox, because they utilize a different SOCD on the software level (uses Last Input priority instead of Neutral priority) for keyboards.

I have both. I like the hitbox significantly more. The buttons on the snackbox just don't do it for me. I love the real arcade buttons on the hitbox. Plus hitbox is made out of metal and feels way more premium to me. It also DOES work on PS5 so idk why you said it doesn't. I literally just played a small tournament in May at an anime convention and the hitbox worked on all the PS5's with no adapter. Edit: I guess it depends on the game. I was playing DBFZ on PS5 so my hitbox worked but next gen only games won't work without an adapter.

Thanks for the review. BUT! "It's the same spacing"? Are you serious? :D Not only are the right most buttons angled downwards on the snackbox and not on the hitbox, the spaces are definitely NOT the same. On the snackbox the jump button is a bit more to the left, the down button is on the same vertical line instead of a bit more up on the hitbox, and so on and so forth. Maybe nitpicky but man, the spacing is not the same at all. If anything just the general layout is the same.

@shp-bk6lm 4 месяца назад

I bet the margins they make on these are absolutely ridiculous. There are mechanical keyboards with more intricate manufacturing, way more switches and keycaps that cost less than this. You're essentially buying a $5 alibaba pcb, switches, plastic caps housed in a thin piece of plastic for $250++ ridiculous. i'll wait in 5 years until there's more competition and the price becomes realistic

@MunsterNation 4 месяца назад

From my knowledge. The product is entirely made in house with CNC machines, and the pcbs are sent in from Brooke which are highly reputable and high quality. The switches are also custom to fit this specific controller properly, you could for sure build your own with alibaba parts but it wouldnt be next to near the quality level or performance level.
