Overview
The Meisterbox S (also known as The Bone) is a mini all-key controller with 14 keys. It comes with its own Alpenmeister case that matches its black, gray, and white theme. Note that the controller’s design is open source, but you should be able to order it preassembled as well.
Made of PETG, the Meisterbox S uses low profile MBK keycaps of 1u and 1.5u widths. As for the switches, they are pink Kailh Choc V1s with:
- 20 g actuation force
- 1.5 mm pretravel distance
- Linear nature
Three function buttons can be found in the back, and four screws hold the top panel together. The art is customizable, and we at The Arcade Stick can offer you our custom art service to make your Meisterbox S represent you.
That said, modern console compatibility requires the use of a USB-A adapter. Otherwise, you can enjoy your Meisterbox S with a black USB-C to A cable that is braided. The USB-C port is in the front, and the USB-A port is on the right. On both sides, you will find closing mechanisms.
With that, study the specs of the Meisterbox S closely to see if it is worthwhile for you, and pay special attention to its unique layout that you may find the most efficient to play your favorite fighting games.
