HORI Fighting Stick Alpha
Tournament-Grade Precision for PlayStation®5
Key Highlights
What Makes It Special
Authentic Hayabusa Parts
Equipped with HORI’s premium V-Cam structured Hayabusa joystick and low-profile matte buttons. Engineered to reduce input load and increase response speed, giving you a tangible frame-advantage in tense matchups.
Mod-Friendly Clamshell
No screwdrivers needed to look inside. The top of the stick flips open on a hinge, giving you instant access to the color-coded wiring. This makes swapping buttons or maintaining the stick incredibly straightforward.
Customizable Artwork
Make your stick truly yours. The top panel features a clear plexiglass cover that can be easily removed to insert your own printed custom artwork, letting you represent your main character or team.
Onboard Audio & Controls
Plug your headset directly into the 3.5mm jack on the stick. Utilize the built-in audio controls to adjust volume and mute your mic on the fly without ever reaching for your DualSense controller.
Tournament Mode Lock
Avoid accidental disqualifications. A physical toggle switch disables the PlayStation button, Create/Share button, and Options button during intense tournament brackets so you never mistakenly pause the game.
Companion App
Use the dedicated HORI Device Manager app on your PC to create and save up to four custom button profiles directly to the stick’s onboard memory. Swap between layouts instantly using the profile button.
