The Razer Kitsune Fighter's Edition: Akuma Adds A Little Satsui No Hado To Your Moveset

mmorpg.com:

Back in January, I reviewed the Kitsune, a new leverless fight stick from the folks at Razer. In that review, I said that I was «very happy with the Razer Kitsune. No matter what game I threw at it, the stick performed remarkably well, with clean and crisp button presses resulting in, for the most part, the exact moves I wanted.»

Since then, Razer has partnered with Capcom to release a few limited-edition versions of the Kitsune featuring some of Street Fighter's most iconic fighters. First came the Chun-Li and Cammy variants – which sold out quickly – and now we have the Akuma variant, which prominently features the Raging Demon himself.

So what's different with the Akuma version of the Kitsune? Other than being stared at by one of the scariest faces in Street Fighter 6, nothing. That scary Akuma face isn't going anywhere either, as the image has used a new dye-sublimation process which essentially burns the image onto the faceplate rather than painted or stuck on. This format means the image will stick around longer, and it will remain at out-of-the-box quality as well. Considering how incredible the image looks, dye-sublimation was the right call. 

The lack of major changes to the fight stick is, of course, a great thing, because the Kitsune is one of the best leverless fight sticks available today. Portability is a huge reason for its success, as its ultra-thin form factor makes it incredibly simple to pack. Case in point: I brought my non-Akuma Kitsune to Evo 2024 this year, and it fit into my
