GRAPHT announces slim leverless arcade controller for PC

MSY Corporation's brand GRAPHT, in collaboration with keyboard brand Akko, has announced the 'GRAPHT Command Trigger for PC,' a slim leverless arcade controller designed for high-speed input. The device features a 23mm thin chassis, a 17-button layout, and custom-developed 1.8mm stroke key switches and ultra-thin keycaps to balance speed and accuracy.

Technical specifications include support for a polling rate of up to 8,000Hz, a 2-inch color LCD, and an aluminum jog dial for easy profile switching. The controller is hot-swappable, allowing users to replace switches, and includes a cable lock mechanism to prevent accidental disconnections during competitive play. It also supports button configurations similar to WASD layouts to assist players transitioning from keyboard gaming.

Pre-orders for the standard model begin September 17, with a release date of October 23, priced at 16,980 yen. Additionally, four collaboration models featuring 'Street Fighter 6' artwork by illustrators Petan and Kangeku will be available for pre-order on September 17, with a scheduled release of December 10 at 19,800 yen.
