From Corsair Press Release: CORSAIR (Nasdaq: CRSR) today revealed their first fighting game-focused controller, the Novablade Pro Wireless Hall Effect Leverless Controller, featuring CORSAIR MGX Hyperdrive magnetic switches, Rapid Trigger and FlashTap SOCD technology.
“With gamers demanding faster, more responsive inputs, building a controller that utilizes our fastest, most responsive switches was an obvious play,” said Tobias Brinkmann, Vice President and General Manager of Gaming Peripherals. “The Novablade Pro is a leap in input innovation, fusing MGX Hyperdrive magnetic switches with cutting-edge performance features like Rapid Trigger and FlashTap. For both fighting game professionals and aspiring players aiming for the top, chasing precise timing windows that last mere milliseconds are key – and Novablade Pro has the features they need for their pursuit of reliable frame perfection.”
Novablade Pro has 15 adjustable magnetic keys that deliver clean, precise inputs in any fighting game. CORSAIR’s ultra-responsive MGX Hyperdrive magnetic switches have adjustable actuation points from 0.1mm to 4mm and Rapid Trigger technology that resets keys quicker, features that can shave crucial fractions of a second off every input. These switches are rated for up to 150 million keypresses, giving players ultimate confidence in their controller, allowing them to focus on controlling the chaos.
CORSAIR FlashTap SOCD technology puts players in full control of their directional inputs thanks to enhanced SOCD prioritization and cleaning for tournament compliance. Game Mode gets players tournament-ready by activating Rapid Trigger and deactivating the G-keys and touchpad to prevent competitors from being accidentally disqualified.
With its premium build and compact all-button design, it’s easy for players to safely transport their Novablade Pro to tournaments and meetups. Tri-mode connectivity gives gamers low-latency 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth® connection options in addition to wired mode so they can reliably connect in any setup scenario.
With its 360° RGB LightEdge, 15 individually lit keys, and a removable aluminum top plate for customization, players will be able to set up their own personalized ring walk as they get ready to square off against competition. Users can also program the 8 G-keys and save up to 5 profiles to the on-board memory storage. Novablade Pro is compatible with PS5® and PS4® consoles, and PC.
