Introduction

The PXN-008 is an arcade stick that is reminiscent of the PXN-X8. It is also a clone of the Krom Kumite. The lever is made of steel, and the buttons have switches.

Here are the function buttons:

  • DP/LS
  • Turbo
  • Touchpad
  • Share
  • Home
  • Options
  • L3/SL
  • R3/SR

Performance

The steel lever is quite functional, firm, and on par with the industry standard. The buttons have the Vewlix layout, feel good, and sound loud. They utilize heavy, clicky switches that are soldered. The function buttons might need more force than usual to register inputs.

There is a turbo feature for automated rapid button presses. The touchpad is more of a button, but it should get the job done on the PlayStation.

Hardware

The PXN-008 is made of quality plastic that barely flexes. It has a 3.5 mm audio jack. The cable is USB-A. Modern console compatibility requires the additional use of a native controller. PXN provides a detailed manual regarding this.

The interior is organized. There are small weights taped inside to make the controller heavier. There are grooves in the button holes that would make the installation of other buttons more challenging.

Here are some more important facts about the PXN-008:

  • The switches have been soldered on, but the buttons are detachable.
  • There are four screws for the rubber feet and six screws for the case itself.
  • There are small weights taped inside to make the controller heavier.
  • There is Velcro on the cable.
  • Also included in the box are micro USB and USB-C cables.

Appearance

The PXN-008 has somewhat psychedelic blue artwork and a black case. The ABS panel is durable, waterproof, and resistant to fading.
