Introduction
Over the years, we’ve seen many crazy layouts, but the Rushbox Click’s layout has to be the craziest so far. Before this controller, we’ve only known of a 21 button controller. This controller, however, has 22 buttons.
As you may already know, leverless controllers started with 12 buttons. Nowadays, they often have more buttons, and the Rushbox Click’s 10 extra buttons are to be used by these hand parts:
- Left middle finger
- Left palm
- Left pinky
- Left thumb
- Right thumb
- Right thumb
- Right index
- Right index
- Right palm
- Right middle finger
Yes, some of your fingers would be pressing more than one button. That said, the Rushbox Click’s thumb buttons have an interesting slant to them. It seems that moimate was trying to bring the right thumb buttons closer to the attack button cluster, which is a common design practice.
Not only that, one of moimate’s goals was to minimize the gaps between the Rushbox Click’s buttons. Another detail worth noting is that five of the six buttons in the bottom row are bigger than the rest of the buttons. As for the right palm button, it serves as another select button.
Unboxing
Your Rushbox Click should be arriving in a snug Rushbox package that’s black—like the controller. You can expect to find the controller secured within two black foam housings on its sides—as well as:
- USB-C moimate braided cable
- Small button covers (4)
- Big button covers (4)
- Keyswitch puller
- Original sticker
- Brief manual
Performance
Fundamentally, the Rushbox Click has three layouts in one. One layout is the standard leverless layout. Another layout is the WASD layout—if you use your left middle finger to press the top jump button. The third layout is a split layout—if you decide not to press the bottom jump button.
Having said that, the Rushbox Click’s buttons work well with sliding techniques—if you use them. These buttons utilize the rarely seen Kailh White Blade microswitches, which are faster than your average keyswitch. In fact, here are the microswitches’ specs:
- 60 g actuation force
- 0.3 mm actuation point
- 0.5 mm stroke
Those clicky switches probably explain the Rushbox Click’s name. They’re also quieter than most, but they may feel mushy for your taste.
Anyhow, the Rushbox Click has function buttons for start and select. By default, the tournament lock toggle disables these function buttons if you want.
More interestingly, one of the Rushbox Click’s performance boosters is its ergonomic wrist slope, which is subtle yet effective. Further, the controller’s A4 size makes it convenient to place on your lap, though manspreading is off limits.
On the bright side, the Rushbox Click has a grip pad per leg. You can always place the controller on your desk too, of course. It also fits into moimate’s carrying case that you can get.
Hardware
The Rushbox Click is a fairly slim and light controller made of resin. For the USB-C port, moimate chose a convenient location—approximately in the back center—that shouldn’t impede you.
Essentially, the Rushbox Click runs on the bestselling RP2040 chip, and its widely popular GP2040-CE firmware is low latency & open source. We at The Arcade Stick are fans of that chip and firmware.
The Rushbox Click’s screen can be explained by that same firmware. This useful screen can show:
- Input mode
- Directional mode
- SOCD cleaning mode
- Button press confirmation
At the Rushbox Click’s bottom, you can find a guide that helps you further understand how that screen works. By the way, need to extend the controller’s compatibility options with more consoles?
If so, you can simply insert your own converter inside the Rushbox Click. You’d just have to take off the bottom panel first to then access the required EXT port.
Appearance
Although it looks minimalistic, the Rushbox Click’s matte surface still has a bit of a pleasant glow to it. The controller also brings back the unique six-sided shape of the original Rushbox.
As we’ve already established, the Rushbox Click is black. It’s got a matching black cable, and you can add some color to the controller with the LED that can shine around the buttons—as well as through the sides.
Conclusion
The Rushbox Click has the most insane layout yet. If you don’t need all the buttons, you can just cover some of them. In addition to having 22 quieter buttons and three layouts, one reason to buy this controller is if you prefer microswitches over keyswitches. Another reason is if you prefer shorter gaps between your buttons.
More than that, the Rushbox Click is slim, light, and has a decent size for both desk & lap play. Its diverse compatibility means that you can use it at any tournament too—no matter the console.
Just picture it like this… You’re at a tournament, and you’re facing an opponent whose level is similar to yours, but his or her controller only has 12 buttons, while your Rushbox Click has 22 buttons. The 10 extra buttons may be the main differentiator that wins you that match!
