Introduction
Do you know what it means to Romanize? To Romanize is to turn, for example, Japanese letters to English letters. In the case of this Akekon Dojo fightstick, its シンプリー name can be Romanized to Shinpuri, which literally means “simply”. This indicates the simplicity that this brand was going for when creating this fightstick.
Unboxing
First things first, the Shinpuri is available in preassembled or DIY format. If you buy it in the DIY format, you should be receiving a USB mount and base mount set with it.
Performance
Do you prefer 24 or 30 mm buttons on your fightstick? Well, Akekon Dojo offers the Shinpuri in 24 or 30 mm button editions. It really depends on your hand size.
That said, the Shinpuri has an unbranded joystick and 12 unbranded buttons. This means that there are four more buttons than usual, which you can press with your index and thumb.
Otherwise, there are two function buttons on the right side. You may also be delighted to know that the Shinpuri has four rubber feet at the bottom to keep it as stable as Fable.
Hardware
Let’s begin with the most interesting hardware element: the Shinpuri has a magnetic bottom, so you can quickly open up the fightstick to access its internals if needed. By the way, the fightstick runs on the reliable Raspberry Pi Pico.
Did you also know that the Shinpuri is available in large or regular sizes? In either size, the fightstick is impressively light. On a side note, you can find a USB-C passthrough in the fightstick’s back left—an uncommon location.
Appearance
The Shinpuri’s corner pillars are to be admired. Moreover, the top & side panels can have a different color from the fightstick’s accents and bottom. More than that, this fightstick has been sighted in colors like:
- Gray
- Black
- Teal
Even the buttons can be black or white, and the joystick can be black or white as well. Just note that—because the Shinpuri is 3D printed—it may have little imperfections, which Akekon Dojo tries to keep to a minimum, of course.
Conclusion
If you really dig the Shinpuri—but don’t live in Japan—you should be able to order it through a proxy service in the button size, case size, and colors of your choice.
