Overview
Karbox (also known as Corkscrew) resurfaces for the second time, this time with the Karbox Origins. This is a leverless controller with 14 primary buttons and four function buttons, all of which can be found on the top panel for your convenience.
The function buttons are made of TPU and utilize Kailh Choc V2 switches in the MX style. As for the primary buttons, they are Sanwa, and other parts of the Origins are 3D printed from PLA. For your information, the controller is handmade from oakwood.
The Origins actually comes in a couple of models: the Origins S and Origins EX, with the EX being the premium model. You see, the EX model comes with the Brook UFB Fusion PCB that is known for its multiplatform compatibility, while the S model runs on the Raspberry Pi Pico. In any case, a cable should be included with your order.
By the way, you may be glad to know that the art of the Origins is customizable, and we at The Arcade Stick can help you with that through our custom art service.
On a closing note, the Origins comes with an acrylic protector and 300 g cardboard gloss, which may be further incentives for you to purchase the controller and customize its art. Oh, and at the bottom of the controller, you can see Karbox written!
