Introduction
DOIO has become one of the leading brands in the industry, and the KBGM-H02 is one of the most unique controllers out there. Made of CNC aluminum alloy, the controller comes with:
- PBT keycaps
- Amber switches
- Five extra main buttons
This means the KBGM-H02 is a dual layout controller, which is like buying two controllers in one—for the price of one.
Performance
Starting off with the 26 mm PBT keycaps, they are durable and textured, lasting you a long time—while feeling pleasant. As for the Amber switches, they actually look like the low profile Kailh Choc V2s that we at The Arcade Stick find to be quite popular. These switches have a smooth keystroke.
The KBGM-H02’s function buttons, on the other hand, are 9.5 mm silicone keycaps that are for:
- Turbo
- Home
- L3
- R3
- Select
- Start
There is also a screen that shows you the input, direction, and SOCD modes—keeping you well informed while you battle your way to victory. The screen can even show your button presses in real time, providing you extra confirmation.
Truth be told, the KBGM-H02 is pretty wide, so you do not need to squeeze your legs together when placing it on your lap. Are you a desk player? No problem, there are a whopping 10 grip pads at the bottom! There is plenty of space on top to rest your wrists as well.
Hardware
The KBGM-H02 is made of high quality material that does not get too cold for your skin. For your convenience, disassembling the controller can be done without the need for a bunch of tools.
Compatibility-wise, the KBGM-H02 features a USB-A port within its case where you can insert a compatibility enhancing adapter. Otherwise, you have two USB-C ports at your disposal: in the back and on the left, so you can choose what is more comfortable for you.
Appearance
The KBGM-H02 is available in more colors than a double rainbow. In fact, the case and button colors can be different. Even the main buttons and function buttons can have different colors.
Not only that, your brand new KBGM-H02 can also have button art like:
- Ryu casting a Hadoken
- Hadoken fireball alone
- Number six from Street Fighter 6
- Fist that looks like it is from Street Fighter 6
The final boss is the beautiful LED that makes your KBGM-H02 glow like there is no tomorrow. We are talking about the buttons glowing—as well as the bottom acrylic layer. Be sure to make use of the light switch in the back left through which you may adjust the brightness.
