HORI Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai Silent Fight Stick for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3
HORI Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai Silent Fight Stick (PS4&3)
Ever since Hori released this stick in Japan, we have been pushing them to get this over here in the states. The time is almost here and it was the feedback from the community that helped bring superb controller to the states.
Besides the obvious of lowering the noise level from the joystick, the Hayabusa joystick is at another level in terms of precision and feel. Hori opted to use an optical gate for their silent Hayabusa which is amazingly accurate. Coupled with their silent Kuro pushbuttons (using similar pad cushions to the Sanwa Denshi pushbuttons), the HRAP4 Kai Silent is an impressive stick and a worthy upgrade from the HRAP 4 Kai.
Features
- PS4/PS3 compatibility
- Updated for US Market Kai Version - more spacing in between joystick and pushbuttons. The pushbuttons are raised a little more for better spacing and comfort
- Touchpad for use with PS4 compatible games
- Hayabusa Silent joy stick (using an optical gate), reducing the noise level from 53 db to 5 db
- Kuro Silent pushbuttons (cushion pads) reducing the noise level from 75 db to 9 db
- This stick is uniquely designed for the US Market and a first to do so since all other sticks made previously was designed for the JP market then brought over
For those looking for a new arcade stick for the PlayStation 4, but either can’t afford the Mad Catz Tournament Edition 2 or simply missed the chance to buy one before it sold out, here’s some great news for you. It seems that HORI will be releasing a new arcade stick, the Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai, in March.
A listing on Amazon UK provides some more details for this new arcade stick. The design looks similar to HORI’s previously announced Dead or Alive 5 Last Round arcade stick as well as their Real Arcade Pro Hayabusa for Xbox One.
Like the former, the Kai will also include a touch panel in the back as well as the now ubiquitous PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 compatibility. Unlike the Last Round arcade stick, however, it does not include analog sticks. Instead, that slot is occupied by a simple carrying handle.
As for its internals, the Kai will feature the HORI Hayabusa lever and Kuro buttons found in Taito’s Vewlix arcade cabinets. These same parts have been in all of HORI’s offerings as of late and can also be found in Taito’s Vewlix cabinets in Japanese arcades.
Amazon currently has the HORI Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai scheduled for release on March 13. It’s currently priced at £119.00 (~$180 USD), though based on how pricing and conversion rates for these peripherals tend to work, this will probably be closer to around $120 when it hits the United States.
