For gadget enthusiasts, there are many products where you know the specs but really want to try the real thing. Gaming gadgets, in particular, have an appeal that can only be truly understood by experiencing them firsthand, such as the keyfeel, fit, and texture.

That's why, at the ASCII-hosted event "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 in LIFORK AKIHABARA II" on Saturday, October 10th, we will be showcasing a wide array of highly anticipated gaming gadgets from this summer. You'll be able to experience the editorial team's recommended products firsthand.

In this article, from among the gaming gadgets on display, we will introduce the arcade controller "NOVABLADE PRO."

Wireless-Compatible Leverless! NOVABLADE PRO

The NOVABLADE PRO is a leverless arcade controller that also supports high-speed wireless connectivity!

While being a wireless-compatible leverless controller is noteworthy enough, it also supports magnetic switches and rapid trigger. This is a device that those looking to explore new playstyles should definitely check out.

Point ①: Wireless-Compatible Leverless! What's surprisingly rare is its support for high-speed wireless connectivity. For those who want to use a leverless arcade controller but prefer wireless, this is certainly an intriguing option!

Point ②: Magnetic Switches for Enhanced Durability! Utilizing Corsair's unique magnetic switches, it achieves exceptional durability. It's great that it helps stabilize gameplay even during intense operations!

Point ③: Leverless + Rapid Trigger for New Gameplay! While being leverless, it also supports rapid trigger. Precisely because it's leverless, I believe this device can be a catalyst for fully utilizing rapid trigger and pioneering new playstyles.
