Hori Fighting Edge

A high end stick series originally released in 2012 for the PS3/Xbox 360. It was later updated in 2018 for the PS4.

2012 7th gen:
The original version came in black with a white and dark blue release later on. Both the Xbox and PS3 versions included Hori Hayabusa levers, Kuro Buttons, a plexi cover and LED lights on both sides of the top panel. On the bottom left the Japanese kanji for "yaiba" (meaning blade) was etched into the top plexi. Additionally the PS3 version included a touch panel that allowed the changing of button commands and had a tournament lockout to avoid accidentally pausing during play.

Fun Fact: This stick was the debut for the Hayabusa Lever and Kuro Buttons. Hori's first attempt at making competitive parts to rival Sanwa and Seimitsu.

2018 8th gen update:
For the 2018 model, it kept the original Hayabusa lever but was updated with Hori's new Hayabusa buttons. Hori also decided to ditch the auxiliary touch panel instead opting for a single 24mm options button off to top right and moving the auxiliary controls to the side of the unit. It also lost the LED lighting and the top plexi, being replaced with an brushed aluminum top panel. However in the update it gained a touchpad on the back of the unit as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack.
