U16 nice!!! I use Deep Sea Islet silent switches on my 16 button and ghost or white rain switches on my 12 button pad I'll links in the description Hope you like it Glad it helped Thanks for watching subscribing and your comment
Thanks much appreciated So I have a bias because I have large hands and long fingers I wear a XXXL riding glove So i like the space of the T M Plus U R But in use they all use the same switches and play the same It comes down to button spacing and cap size and personal spacing preference Hope that helps Thanks for watching subscribing and your comment

R16 creeks more than the U but... R16 started this acrylic top ring attached to top design. As far as in my testing and what I've seen and as their 1st attempt in this design and coming to market 1st from my knowledge the creaking is a thing you will notice. But it plays fine and I prefer the R over the U because of the way I play and the materials each are made of. You can add a slice of adhesive EVA foam from Amazon $10 for a pack that will go away as it will support the base more keeping the thinner acrylic layers flat and together. The U is a plastic version of the R. No creaking wider button spacing, no left pinky but louder as made of plastic compared to acrylic wafers layered together. If your a masher when things get tough like me lol. You will feel the impact hitting the base more again because the plastic base is more firm than wafer layers. But in use the U feels sturdy and fine and like a controller if that makes sense and plays great. Both play great and have their own style. When it comes to other versions of the R. Now other vendors are making this same style they updated the creaking with firmer updated build. You would be looking at the Guilekeys GK-16 / GK-21 or the Duelpad Zen. Both feel very similar to the R16 with their own style and updated build quality. But remember these pads came out after the R16, same design style and similar layouts but they have a firm wafer in the middle that makes it not creak and feel more sturdy. I would not be surprised if the R16 v2 gets this internal wafer update in 2025 as the competition and things get more defined. My nephew liked the R16 when he saw it. I picked one up for him around June 2024. He is still using it in 2025 and has no issues. So long reply apologies typing on PC, I hope that makes sense and to answer your intial question :) R creaks more as it was the 1st to try this design. The U doesnt creak but is a different layout and if you mash will feel harder on impact when you hit it. Thanks for watching subscribing and your comment
@@drjones694 Thank you for the detailed response, it's reassuring that you can fix the r16 creaking. I love a sturdy build so I hope the u16 and r16 gets a thicker update this year. I'll stick to my AFS until the next lineup, I feel like they're so close to a slam dunk in terms of price + build quality
Cool vid. I have an M16+ and was wondering whether or not any of their other products were worth the time/money. Might stick to the M+ until they release something else.
@@ciscorey6520 Thanks much appreciated 🙏🏿 Glad it helped If your looking to try something else the Haute42 T is actually pretty nice of you like the M layout The feel is a little different and you can add custom art work If you catch one on sale on AliExpress with a booter 5 something to think about And some white rain switches for both or wind engine switches you might like it Thanks for watching subscribing and your comment
@@drjones694 Thanks! I have the Booter 5. I also bought the wind engine switches but I thought they felt too much like the crystals for me. So I ended up going with some low-profile browns instead. Also, the wind engine switches were super hard to remove compared to the crystals/browns-not sure that they have the same pull notches (if any). I thought about buying the T ... I'm just not a huge fan of acrylic tops. Although I do like the way it showcases custom art. Customization aside, the M+ is pretty much perfect. I just wish there was a Keychron switch option in addition to Kailh. Kailhs are fine switches but there's a noticeable sensitivity difference when pressing down on a Haute switch (Kailh) versus a Kistune switch (Keychron). I'm not sure how much of that is attributed to the switches as opposed to how the switch bed is designed within the Kitsune. In any case, I now use the M+ for Tekken 8 while I reserve the Kitsune for VF5, where execution requirements are a little more demanding. Crazy how the smallest details impact the way we play. Keep up the great content.

@@drjones694 yeah I've been asking questions in the discord as well, cuz me and a couple of friends who bought the haute42 controllers been having the same problems, the middle part of the USB-C port was wiggling around, making the connection of the controller to the pc disconnect. i guess I might have no choice but to try and solder a new usb-c port
Ive been seeing this in the general and in the feedback section too I'm wondering if the ringed controllers are made by 1 company and the others by another with better build quality I'm sorry your having this issue sucks because the brand I've liked for almost a year and I use them I hope their not changing manufacture's for R and U Or they change that team to the other pads team this is not a good look if this continues

For smaller hands I recommend the:

-Haute42 R if you want rings
-Haute42 B with a cheatbox project extender if you want a tighter keyboard feel

@@drjones694 yeah I've been asking questions in the discord as well, cuz me and a couple of friends who bought the haute42 controllers been having the same problems, the middle part of the USB-C port was wiggling around, making the connection of the controller to the pc disconnect. i guess I might have no choice but to try and solder a new usb-c port
Ive been seeing this in the general and in the feedback section too
I'm wondering if the ringed controllers are made by 1 company and the others by another with better build quality
I'm sorry your having this issue sucks because the brand I've liked for almost a year and I use them
I hope their not changing manufacture's for R and U
Or they change that team to the other pads team this is not a good look if this continues
@@drjones694 yeah I have an older S16 and its completely fine even with like rough use (by my little sister.)
