Introduction

Welcome to the light heavyweight division of Mavercade cases! With metallic and acrylic top plates, this aluminum case is slim, light, durable, and easy to carry.

Performance

The button layout of the MFS-LHW can be stickless 24 mm or Shiokenstar, so you can optimize the layout for your fighting game performance. Add your own Sanwa parts to the mix, and you can enjoy responsive buttons that do not take long to activate, but they are also hard to press by accident.

The auxiliary button holes are placed in a tactical position to avoid accidental presses. The case’s ability to handle bottom padding means you should not worry about sliding during play.
