Something We've Never Seen Before: Haute42 U16 Review

Don't forget to message Haute42 on Aliexpress after you order for TWO FREE ART INSERTS. Just quote: Vay fans - two more art papers

I can finally release my Haute42 U16 Review. This review was pretty much done a week before the controller's release but I had to wait a long time for my art print at no fault of EpicPALdesigns. Spanish and UK postal services failed me. But you can see the wait for the holographic print was completely worth it!
I hope you enjoy today's review.

The fact you test the sliding technique in your videos is extremely helpful. Thanks for the review.

Bought my first Haute42 controller because of this channel. Your passion is truly inspiring.

[mochiescalona]

The artwork on this one is nothing short of amazing, great job!

Imagine the haute42 models 5 years from now. It’ll give you a massage while you lose 10 in a row on ranked

[AdezeosClips]

That intro is mad nice, and the choice of using the LCD screen for the channel name is directorial genius 👌 Thanks for the comprehensive review, production quality is amazing as usual!

[TravisMCP]

This is great but I'm REALLY hoping Cosmox will do a split ergo design like DOIO and DualPad Neo are doing. That would be the perfect version.

[Chill_Phil_]

Great editing man, and amazing video overall too! I already have some Haute controllers but was really wanting this one so I used your link, purchased it, and asked for the two art papers. Thanks!

[hasaniwhite]

A possible solution for the paper and having an easier time for artist to decorate is golden matte medium. Apply it and works great for giving tooth for art and deglossing😊

I wish they'd make a split layout model.

[xKayNee]

Just got mine with the Wind Engine switches. Very nice. I had a Kitsune before with tactile switches, I enjoy using both honestly. But it's easier to do perfect inputs on linear switches so I'll be using U16 for Mishima characters in Tekken :D

[hustleberry]

Really awesome video man look forward to more

[tylerhicks]

We need a Slideometer with all of Hautes series on it!!

[douxiepoo]

just bought this as my first stickless 😊

[edwardwongliupepelutivrusk]

Note for the buyers, the layout is more spread out than traditional hitbox, for smaller hands like me, it might feel uncomfortable. I thought the smaller buttons than T16 would make the buttons closer to each other, but NO. The center of the buttons are exactly as the T16, they just make the button smaller.

[hybridmonkey]

That's the opposite direction of ergonomic wrist rotation. Best to be closer to handshake position.

[silvurcross]

hey there, great vid! I was looking into customizing my own U16 and noticed you have a transparent ring + transparent keycap for the right direction button (for the sick crystal ball effect), just wondering where you got that? I was looking to swap out the o-rings/keycaps to something transparent as well but looking for the parts seems troubling.

Awesome video, I'm currently binging a lot of your reviews atm lol! Can I ask where the Razer Kitsune sits on your bumpy to smooth slidetest rating? Thanks :)

[PinePizza]

I wonder what's there to "gain" in comparison to the T16 I've been using (with Kailh ghost switches). To me this one just looks like more of the same, sure, the bezels look cool, but for me they're not necessary since I don't do slide inputs.

Smaller buttons are neither better nor worse imo.

(I might play the waiting game since Haute is just releasing awesome controllers all the time)

[damonlove]

Which one do you use more? the R16 or this U16? or which one is your favorite to use of all your Haute 42 leverless controllers? great vid btw.
