Full description

Zen16 leverless arcade controller: the hitbox layout in full size

The Zen16 is a full-size leverless arcade controller: directions and attacks are played on buttons, in the hitbox layout favoured in fighting games. It uses short-travel low-profile switches, with SOCD handling, a turbo function and RGB lighting.

What it does

  • Leverless layout: directions and attacks on buttons, in the hitbox layout.
  • Low-profile switches: short travel, for fast inputs.
  • SOCD handling: sets the behaviour when two opposite directions are pressed together, a key point in tournament rules.
  • Turbo and RGB lighting: functions built into the controller.

What it doesn't do

  • No lever: you have to relearn the motions with your fingers.
  • On PS5, use requires an adapter, not included.
  • Xbox consoles are not covered.
  • No wireless: USB cable connection only.

Compatibility

PC (Windows, Steam), PS3, PS4 and Switch. On PS5, an adapter (not included) is required. Xbox consoles are not covered.

Skill level required

None: no disassembly or soldering. The controller plugs in via USB and behaves like a gamepad.

In the box

  • 1 Zen16 leverless arcade controller, colour according to the chosen variant.

The technique: the precision of a button

On a leverless controller, each direction has its own button. Inputs are made with the fingers, with the crispness of a key: a dash, a quarter-circle or a block triggers without any looseness. The Zen16 offers this layout in full size, so both hands rest flat during long sessions.

The part: low-profile and adjustable

The Zen16 uses short-travel low-profile switches. It supports SOCD modes, which set the behaviour when two opposite directions are pressed together, and offers a turbo function and RGB lighting. It comes in matte black or crystal clear.

Our support: before you order

Do you play on PS5? You will need an adapter, not included. On Xbox, the controller is not covered. For advice on the right SOCD mode for your game or tournament, our French customer service replies within 1 business day.

Why buy here rather than on a marketplace

It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.

We verify, they list

Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.

Customer service that speaks French

A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.

2-year legal warranty, 14-day returns

The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.

The price is comparable, the rest is not

We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
