Customer Ratings & Reviews

This fighting stick works great. It isnt the heaviest mist stable fight stick, but for the price it works well. I use it on many of the retro games I have including Atari 50th. For ease of use in certain menu driven games( like Atari 50th) I did have to link a second controller through the accessibility menu to have access to the touch pad feature, but no big deal. Again for the cost it is great. I did also added a USB extension cable to give me a little more freedom with it.

I have always been a pad player with fighting games and decided to learn to play on stick since alot of the fighting games i grew up playing were always on arcade. So far i love it! It sits perfect on my desk and very easy to use. I highly recommend it for beginners who are wanting to learn to play on stick.

[Employee of bestbuy] I have smaller than average hands for a male of his size and stature. So this mini Hori fight stick seemed like a good idea for someone who likes to play his fighting games with arcade controls. The stick and buttons have a nice click to them. It's very responsive. The plastic does feel a little cheap but it holds together well and I haven't broken it yet. I enjoy using it while playing Street Fighter 6 on PS5. I've also used it on my PC to play games not meant for this type of controller and it works as much as you can expect it to. I like it.

Looks good & cool gift also for neice for nephew that wants play fighting games

Its a little on the light side but joystick and buttons are very responsive! Its a great edition to any fighting game enthusiast.

Great product. Enjoy the small compact version of this biting stick.

I picked this up to get into fighting games without spending a fortune on a full-sized arcade stick. It’s lightweight and compact, which makes it easy to store and carry, but still feels responsive enough for casual play. The buttons are clicky and satisfying, and the joystick has a decent feel, though it’s a bit smaller than a standard arcade stick—so competitive players might prefer something larger. Works flawlessly on PS5 and even with some PC titles. Overall, a great entry-level fight stick at a fair price.

The HORI mini is a good budget stick if you are looking for a starter. Buttons have a decent response time, it is compatible with PC, PS4, and PS5, and the stick itself has a good response time. The cons however are the buttons do occasionally feel like they miss an input, the PS4 setting seemed to be the best setting for using it with Steam on PC, and if you have a larger hand then you will find it difficult to maneuver the stick without your hand being uncomfortable or rubbing against the surface, specifically if you use a wineglass style hold. It is worth it if you want to try a fight stick out. The cost is minimal compared to much better, much larger fight sticks. The ball can also be removed and fitted with other ball tops or bats in the standard size. It is also worth noting that it is a nice touch for playing beat em' ups as well. Adds a nice arcade feel to playing.

Hori Fighting Stick Mini is a great stick at a great price. It's built with simplicity in mind so you can't really expect to mod it, but it works very well for what it is. The stick and buttons are all low tension so you can play for a while before fatigue sets in. It's inexpensive but well built. I highly recommend it

Kinda small ngl, otherwise a fantastic controller for what it's for

I’ve been using the HORI Fighting Stick Mini for PS5 and honestly this thing surprised me. For the price, it’s one of the best entry-level arcade sticks out there. The buttons feel responsive, the joystick has a satisfying click, and it works great for games like Tekken 8, Street Fighter 6, and classic arcade titles. What I like most is how compact and lightweight it is. I can easily set it up at my desk or bring it with me without carrying a huge tournament stick around. Even though it’s small, it still feels comfortable during long gaming sessions. The rubber grips on the bottom help keep it stable too. If you’re new to fight sticks or just want an affordable arcade-style controller for PS5, PS4, or PC, this is a great choice. It’s officially licensed by Sony, plug-and-play, and a fun way to improve your fighting game skills without spending hundreds of dollars. Definitely worth it for casual and beginner fighting game fans.

I may be bias because I did buy this using gift cards, but for what it's worth, it is definitely a great product. At first I didn't like the size of it because of my hand placement on a normal size stick, but after a while I was able to adjust and have been able to play fine. A few downsides is that because of it's light weight, it's a little difficult finding a good spot to keep it from moving everywhere. The size can become cumbersome if playing on your lap since you'd likely rest it on one leg instead of both. Performance wise, it's very responsize. I like the clickiness of the stick since I'm more of an audible player.

The Hori Fighting Stick Mini is comfortable, doesn’t take up a lot of space, and is compatible with both the PS5 and PC with plug and play tight out of the box. I've used it with Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6 and there's zero latency- meaning your inputs register your beatdown faster.

I was a bit skeptical at first with the small size, but it’s a great entry into fight sticks without straining the wallet too much. Gets the job done very well

the Hori Fighting Stick is a great product, This stick enhanced the gameplay and improves performance in TEKKEN 8, Dragon Ball Fighterz, all the Street Fighters and many more that I play. It gives a great arcade feel but with greater accuracy and response to movements. It significantly increased my win percentage in online play, will not play without it.

My wife didnt want to use a controller for fighting games. She barely wanted to play at all. Untill we went to an oldschool arcade where she played Tekkan 3. I surprised her with this fight stick and nows shes a King main and brags about the clicky buttons

Inexpensive fight stick. Smaller than most but I like the size. Buttons and stick feel better than expected - not the best but better than I thought they would at this pricepoint! 100% wired only connection but the wire is fairly long. Only gripe I would have is that it is fairly light and moves around a lot when you are using it.

I bought this to use as a button box for Gran Turismo 7. The game will let you use a controller and a wheel simultaneously. It does exactly what I need, It's also perfect for playing old arcade games on my PC.

For gamers on a budget or deciding to try out a fighting stick before commiting to a full size or custom fightstick. This is a must buy. Small compact and well made.

My 10yo son loves fighting games. We play a few different street fighter titles. This arcade stick had worked great so gar. He said he loved it.
