NK Trading announced two new PC leverless controllers from Hit Box: the standard PC Hit Box and the PC Beast Box, a collaboration with pro player Daigo Umehara. Both feature the updated C.O.M.B.O. Extension 1.5 with faster response. Pre-sales begin July 1 at World Game Express for 32,780 yen.
The new PC Hit Box and PC Beast Box are the first PC-only models from the brand that pioneered the leverless controller category. Both ship with the C.O.M.B.O. Extension 1.5, which reduces actuation to about 1.0mm and bottom-out to 1.5mm, a notable upgrade over the previous expansion button. The Beast Box uses the same internals and dimensions as the standard model but swaps the top panel for a bezel-less artwork design that resists scratches and fading.
Daigo Umehara, known as "The Beast," collaborated on the special edition. The controllers are compatible with PC and can be adapted to other platforms. NK Trading is also running a 20% off sale on the hitbox ULTRA to mark the domestic launch.
