Introduction
At first, it was black. Then, Haute42 rereleased it in a gray PlayStation 1 edition. Now, it has a retro Nintendo vibe, and it’s called the P12 Pro-Remix!
Unboxing
What you can expect to receive with your small P12 Pro-Remix box:
- Clear Haute42 low profile switch
- Switch puller
- USB-C cable
Performance
The P12 Pro-Remix’s smooth buttons aren’t silent, but they aren’t loud either. They use Crystal linear switches, which are quite fast. If you’re tech savvy, you may be glad to know that the overclocked polling rate allows the controller to achieve less than a millisecond of input delay, which is great.
That said, the P12 Pro-Remix’s layout is the standard 12 button one—with the jump button being bigger than the rest. This requires less precision from whichever thumb you like to jump with.
Moving on, the P12 Pro-Remix’s function buttons are labeled:
- T (turbo)
- Back
- Start
- LS
- RS
- –
- Home
As for the tournament lock, it’s to disable the P12 Pro-Remix’s function buttons—because you don’t want to press them accidentally at a tournament, right?
Speaking of tournaments—where you’ll likely need to set the P12 Pro-Remix on your lap—its size makes it so that you’ll likely have to squeeze your legs together for it to fit on top.
On the bright side, the P12 Pro-Remix feels good on a desk, such as when you’re at home—going on winning streaks online. This is thanks to the anti-slip bottom. You can even use your desk to rest your palms (or wrists).
Hardware
The P12 Pro-Remix is one of Haute42’s smallest and lightest controllers. To hot swap its switches, you’ll likely have to go for Kailh Choc V2 compatible switches.
In case you were wondering, the USB-C port is on the left, and the EXT port is on the right—where you can insert a USB-A converter like the BOOTER 5 to make the P12 Pro-Remix compatible with more consoles.
Regarding its firmware, the P12 Pro-Remix runs on the ragingly popular GP2040-CE open source firmware, so you have access to a variety of:
- Input modes
- Directional modes
- SOCD cleaning modes
It’s also because of that firmware that you can see a live animation of your button presses on the P12 Pro-Remix’s little screen—as well as your turbo speed.
Appearance
The P12 Pro-Remix is one of the more unique looking Haute42 controllers, and its curved edges are beautiful. Not only that, the controller doesn’t smudge easily, and it can be wiped from time to time to maintain its luster.
More than that, the P12 Pro-Remix has RGB LED that ignites its buttons with fiery lights. Though, you’re likely most interested in this controller’s Nintendo theme…
So, here’s how the P12 Pro-Remix’s Nintendo spirit manifests itself:
- The enclosure is beige.
- The top panel is black.
- The attack buttons are also black.
- The directional buttons are red.
Some of the P12 Pro-Remix’s directional buttons have arrows on them, and the jump button simply says “up”. Also, some attack buttons are labeled A, B, X, and Y.
Other attack buttons are labeled “left bumper” and “Z right button” with a smiley face & Pac-Man on them respectively. Admittedly, it would’ve been nice for the P12 Pro-Remix’s “back” and “start” labels to be more easily readable…
Conclusion
The P12 Pro-Remix’s ideal buyer is someone looking for a portable 12 button controller who also feels nostalgic about the old Nintendo days. Since the P12 Pro was a limited edition, grab the P12 Pro-Remix while you can!
