Drawn to scale
The MICRO is ten inches long and half an inch thick. Here it is next to the XL and a typical full-size leverless.
It slides into a laptop sleeve, sits on a crowded tournament table and leaves room on your desk for a keyboard. The XL keeps the half-inch profile and adds room around the layout; the SLIDER adds four spare buttons and swappable layouts.

Why leverless
A stick has to travel before it registers. A button only has to be pressed.
Inputs that land
Low-profile Amber switches with a short press. Charge moves, dashes and plinks come out when you press, with no throw distance to cover.
One finger per direction
Left, down and right sit under three fingers. Up sits under your thumb. Quarter circles and dragon punches become finger rolls you can repeat every time.
Easier on your wrists
The half-inch profile keeps your hands flat and relaxed, close to how they rest on a keyboard. Long sets cost you less.

Quick answers
Does the MICRO work on PS5 and Xbox?
Yes, with the PS5 & Xbox upgrade: a Brook board we solder in before the controller ships, labor included. Pick it here or on the product page and it shows as its own line in your cart. Without it the MICRO plays on Switch 1 & 2, PC and Steam Deck.
MICRO or MICRO XL?
Same buttons, same switches, same console support. The XL is larger with more room around the layout and a bigger canvas for art. The MICRO is the one that disappears into a bag.
When is the SLIDER the right pick?
When you compete. Its four spare buttons take the shortcuts modern fighting games put in their settings, drive rush, drive impact, parry and throw, so they get their own key, and the panel swaps for a stick layout with no soldering. It is a pre-order today.
I'm new to leverless. Will I adapt?
Expect an adjustment period. Directions move to three fingers on your left hand and jump moves to your thumb. Once it settles, motion inputs become short finger rolls that come out the same way every time. Watch the inputs on the MICRO below.
Can I change the switches, keycaps or art?
Yes. Switches pull out and push in with no soldering, keycaps swap, and the art insert sits under a clear top that lifts off. How to get your own art printed.
How do I remap buttons or change the SOCD mode?
Remapping: plug in and open the web configurator in a browser. SOCD is set on the controller, not in the configurator: hold a direction while you plug in. Up = Capcom/Neutral (the shipping mode: Left + Right = Neutral, Up + Down = Neutral), Left = Up priority (Classic), Down = Last priority (2iP), Right = None. Check which mode you are in with the controller tester.
What is the return policy?
In-stock controllers can be returned within 30 days; you cover return shipping. Pre-orders are not returnable. See the refund policy.
MICRO or SWORL?
The MICRO is the thinner, lower-priced pick built for fighting games. The SWORL adds analog thumb domes so it plays the rest of your library too. Compare all our controllers.

Expected it to be too small. The size turned out to be the reviewer's favorite thing about it.

No stick. Four direction buttons under your left hand, attacks under your right. Pick a move and watch the inputs light up on the MICRO.
