Some dedicated UI buttons for accessing Steam menus quickly are a nice addition if you have yourbest gaming PChooked up to a TV and you want to play in big-picture mode. Similarly, an app that lets you customize deadzones and button assignments is nice, but it’s nothing new.GameSir’s G7 SEis even cheaper than this new Horipad, and it comes with the brand’s full suite of software features.

The Horipad weighs in remarkably light at only 185g. Some people prefer a lighter controller, and that’s a preference thing, but if you go this far under 200g, a controller can feel a bit too much like a toy to be anything worthy of a “premium” product. TheVictrix Pro BFGfor PS5 has a weight of 298g, and that’s probably as light as I’d want to go. In fact, that controller is probably my favorite at the moment and I’d still like it to be heavier - I just put up with it because of the excellent Esports performance it’s capable of. I certainly wouldn’t want anything almost 100g lighter that doesn’t even have any vibration motors to add some feel.

The customization menus of the Horipad for Steam

Next, the wireless capabilities of this controller come exclusively from a Bluetooth connection, whether that’s on its own, or through the USB dongle you get in the box. I hear this makes it easier to use with a Steam Deck, and it’s certainly a nice secondary connection feature for controllers like theEasySMX X10, but relying completely on Bluetooth sounds alarm bells in my head. ExcludingSony’sbest PS5 controller, theDualSense Edge,which use Bluetooth 5.1, pretty much every pro controller today uses a wireless connection (using a radio signal and USB dongle). Bluetooth isn’t used in today’s gaming headsets either - there can be issues with latency when playing games, and the connection just isn’t as reliable.

The Horipad doesn’t even give you any accessories for your money - in the box, you get your controller, the Bluetooth dongle, and a cable. There are no swappable thumbstick tops, or D-pad options, there aren’t weights you can add to the grips like the ones for theNacon Revolution 5 Pro, and there isn’t even a nifty carry case. I don’t feel I’m asking for much here - even some of thebest Nintendo Switch controllersgive you some nice add-ons for your money these days.

The new Horipad for Steam on a desk, showing its bottom macro buttons

I suppose a saving grace is that as well as two back buttons, Hori has added two more macro buttons to the bottom of this controller’s mid-section. Except, hold on, the whole point of back buttons is that you can press them without taking your fingers off the thumbsticks. If you want to use those extra face buttons, you’re going to need to pull your thumbs down away from every other button and press some small buttons at an odd angle. For a bit more money, you could get theTurtle BeachStealth Ultra which has four microswitch back buttons instead. Hell, you could even spend $129.99 andpre-order the brand’s new modular controller.
