Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about compatibility, setup, customization, and international shipping.
How is Rushbox Mini different from other leverless controllers?
Button layout: Rushbox Mini features a unique layout designed to keep your hands in a natural, relaxed position. The buttons are spaced closer together than on many traditional leverless controllers, reducing unnecessary finger movement. The layout is also designed to work well with techniques such as pianoing, sliding, and flick inputs. A larger button is placed in the pinky area for easier access, while additional buttons are positioned around the thumbs and index fingers.
Button feel: The layered acrylic construction keeps the buttons firmly supported, providing a stable and consistent feel during play.
What is the difference between a leverless controller and an arcade stick?
A traditional arcade stick uses a joystick for directional inputs, while a leverless controller uses buttons for every direction. Once you get used to it, the button-based layout can make fast and precise directional inputs easier to perform.
Is Rushbox Mini suitable for beginners?
Yes. The closely spaced buttons are easy to reach without stretching your fingers, and the larger pinky-area button is designed to be easier to press. The layout is approachable even if Rushbox Mini is your first leverless controller.
Can I use Rushbox Mini on PS4 / PS5?
Rushbox Mini can be used with PS4 and PS5 when paired with a compatible converter sold separately. Connection methods may vary depending on the converter and your setup, so please check the instructions for your converter before use.
Can I use Rushbox Mini with Nintendo Switch / Switch 2?
Yes. Simply connect it via USB. No additional converter is required for Nintendo Switch or Switch 2.
Can I use it with Street Fighter 6 or Tekken 8?
Yes. Rushbox Mini can be used with major fighting games including Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-, and 2XKO.
Can I remap buttons, disable inputs, or change SOCD settings?
Yes. Rushbox Configurator lets you remap buttons, disable inputs you do not use, and change SOCD settings directly from your browser. No dedicated software or driver installation is required.
Make sure your SOCD settings comply with the rules of the game or tournament you are participating in.
How can I customize the top panel artwork?
Download the official template, add your artwork, print and cut it, then place it beneath the top acrylic panel. Custom top-panel artwork is also available through our official online store.
What is the Purple Swallowtail silent switch?
Purple Swallowtail is a quiet Kailh mechanical switch well suited for fighting games. Its short actuation and light feel make rapid presses and simultaneous inputs easy to perform while keeping noise down.
Do you ship outside Japan?
Yes. Rushbox Mini can be shipped from Japan to countries and regions currently supported by EMS. Available destinations may vary depending on current EMS service availability.
