Introduction
Yes, it’s awesome that the Haute42 E16 has a mirrored layout for left handed players, but to be honest, it’s not that awesome for right handed players (who are the majority)… This is why the E14A is here!
Unboxing
Here are the freebies that should arrive with your E14A:
- Transparent Haute42 low-profile switch
- Three 6 mm function buttons
- Instructional guide
- Switch puller
- USB-C cable
Performance
The E14A has 14 buttons that are mostly sized 23.5 mm, and the jump button is 25.8 mm for easier thumb-side pressing. Surrounding this jump button is one extra button on each side (two extra buttons total).
You can also press the E14A’s two extra buttons with your thumbs. These buttons are meant to be used as left stick and right stick buttons by default.
In addition to a function button lock, the E14A’s function buttons are labeled as follows:
- Turbo
- –
- Home
- Back
- Start
Also, it’s up to you which switches you’d like installed on your E14A. Here’s a quick guide: Shadow Hunting if you like quietness, Wind Engine if you need speed, and Crystal if you prefer a significant tactile bump.
Hardware
The E14A is a slim acrylic controller that’s light—with enough width to comfortably set it on your lap. More than that, there are four feet for stability. You also get a mini screen on the top panel that can show you valuable details like:
- Input mode
- Directional mode
- SOCD cleaning mode
The E14A’s screen can also display an animation of your button presses. You see, this controller runs on the reputable GP2040-CE firmware with low latency and online updates.
You can also use a compatibility extender like the BOOTER 5 (sold as an addon) to make your E14A compatible with additional modern consoles. You can even order the USB-C cable of your choice:
| Style | Length |
|---|---|
| Right angle | 1.5 m |
| Standard | 1.5 m |
| Standard | 3.0 m |
Appearance
Let’s go through the E14A’s appearance customization process. Start by picking from plastic or translucent buttons. Then, regardless of which button variant you pick, you still have access to such button colors:
- Red
- Pink
- Blue
- Black
- White
- Green
- Yellow
- Purple
Alright, let’s now choose from these default artworks: doll or mechanical. An alternative would be entirely custom artwork for your E14A, which we at The Arcade Stick can design for you through our artwork service.
There’s more. The LEDs light up the E14A’s buttons in a beautiful way. Moreover, the bottom panel is essentially translucent black—with some interesting nuances that we encourage you to see for yourself. In closing, the black cable is a good fit for the color scheme.
Conclusion
Let’s make the buying decision easier for you: do you find that pressing two extra buttons with your thumbs increases your chances of winning matches? If so, then the E14A is a solid pick, and it has many additional perks from extendable compatibility to custom artwork.
