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

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

In this article, we'll introduce one of the gaming gadgets on display: the leverless arcade controller, "NOLVA Reactor Mechanical All-Button Arcade Controller."

A Full-Fledged Mechanical Switch Controller for Under ¥20,000: "NOLVA Reactor Mechanical All-Button Arcade Controller"

HORI's "NOLVA Reactor Mechanical All-Button Arcade Controller" is a full-spec leverless arcade controller officially licensed for PS5 and PS4.

Its appeal lies in its price point of under ¥20,000, its swappable mechanical switches, and a size perfect for lap play. It also supports customization such as button assignments.

*Point 1: PS5 and PS4 Official License for Under ¥20,000*

Despite being officially licensed for PS5 and PS4, it's priced under ¥20,000. You can get a full-fledged leverless controller, operated entirely by buttons, at a relatively accessible price. The balance between supported platforms and price is noteworthy.

*Point 2: Swappable Mechanical Switches and a Lap-Friendly Size*

The buttons feature swappable mechanical switches, allowing you to change them to suit your preference. Another appealing feature is its size, which makes it comfortable for lap play, designed for ease of use in various gaming environments.

*Point 3: Customizable Button Assignments and Key Lock*

In addition to changing button assignments, it also supports a key lock function. You can customize settings to match your operating style. This is a welcome feature for users who want to fine-tune their control environment for highly competitive fighting games.
