Overview
Enjoy a tactical approach to gaming with Okayama Tactical Gaming! This Japanese establishment makes custom controllers like the Kurogane, which has some pretty crazy customizability.
The craziest custom choice seems to be its optional slope. Usually, a controller either comes with or without a slope, and you’re pretty much stuck with its default setup. In the Kurogane’s case, you can request, say, a 2.8° slope.
Not only that, the Kurogane can make use of Zenaim’s arcade controller button module kit that has been rising in popularity, and it’s endorsed by pro players like the legend, Momochi.
That said, you can grab a Kurogane in lever or leverless format if you like. The button layout can be custom, including where the function buttons are, and so can the enclosure’s size.
Structurally, the Kurogane is heavy—with a stainless steel frame—and it’s got magnetic closure, so you can conveniently access its interior without a screwdriver. Further, it uses the industry’s favorite USB-C connection, and it’s got a mount for multiplatform Brook PCBs that are low in latency.
The panels can be made of materials from aluminum to acrylic. These panels can be clear, matte, and/or painted. If you go for the clear version, get in touch with us here at The Arcade Stick to request our custom art service and give your Kurogane the sick design it deserves.
With that being said, we understand that you may not be living in Japan right now. No worries, a proxy service should be able to deliver a brand new Kurogane to your mailbox. You’d be getting a highly customized controller with the layout—and art—of your dreams.
