Introduction
The Paragon is an all-button controller made out of wood. It can come engraved as well. Its layouts include Paragon and standard. If you want, you can opt for clear buttons with LEDs. You can even get this controller with a joystick.
Performance
The Paragon can come with standard Sanwa buttons if you like. Talk about buttons that are responsive and durable. Talk about buttons that have an optimal travel distance: not much force is needed to press them, but you should also not find yourself pressing them accidentally just because you rested your fingers on them.
Also, you can find upper secondary buttons for:
- Home
- Pause
- Back
- Touch
- Tournament
- Light
- Extra
About “tournament”, are you at a tournament where you need to disable some buttons to avoid getting disqualified due to pressing them accidentally? This is what this button is for.
Hardware
Marcus of 2nd Stage Creations uses some of the finest wood known to humankind, and this often means durability. The dimensions of the Paragon were chosen for portability purposes.
With the Paragon, there are different compatibility options at your disposal. For example, Brook PCBs are offered. Moreover, the USB passthrough can be found in the back center. That’s a tactical position right there.
Appearance
Again, we have established that 2nd Stage Creations uses some of the finest wood known to man, and while this often means durability, it also means aesthetics.
With the engravement option, you can add more beauty to your Paragon—as well as provide others a hint about your personality, what you are into, and so on.
The story doesn’t end here, though. You already know about the LEDs that the Paragon packs, so your controller can glow up amidst the competition. To seal the deal, all buttons on the controller can come in different colors!
Conclusion
Being a 2nd Stage Creations controller, it is no surprise how good the Paragon is. Marcus simply doesn’t miss!
