Key Features of the SnackBox MICRO
Compact, Slim, and Super Lightweight
The MICRO features a compact and slim tablet-sized design and weighs just 363g, making it one of the smallest leverless controllers on the market!
It fits effortlessly into a bag or backpack for easy transport to offline fighting game tournaments.
Because it takes up minimal space, players can conveniently store it in living room media consoles, bookshelves, or desk drawers.
Equipped with Amber, One of the Fastest Low-Profile Mechanical Switches
The 12 action buttons exclusively use Kailh low-profile linear speed switches, Amber, featuring a 1mm actuation point!
Compared to standard low-profile switches with a 1.5mm actuation point, they actuate 0.5mm faster, delivering peak performance in fighting games where split-second inputs decide victory or defeat.
Players can hot-swap the switch components for their preferred options without removing screws, making customization seamless.
Using the dedicated app, players can also reconfigure switch functions to tailor the feel to their exact preferences.
Compatible with Various Platforms
The controller connects to a wide variety of devices, including PCs, PS5, PS4, PS3, Nintendo Switch, Android, and Steam Deck, letting players enjoy fighting games across multiple platforms.
Dedicated Smartphone App, JF Connect
By downloading the dedicated smartphone app, JF Connect, (App Store / Google Play) and pairing with the MICRO via Bluetooth, players can effortlessly configure button mapping, customize LED colors and lighting modes, and perform firmware updates directly from their phones.
Customizable Artwork (Faceplate)
Players can swap out the stock black artwork on the MICRO for any custom print design to personalize the top panel of their controller.
Detachable USB Cable
The detachable cable makes unplugging and storing the controller easy when not in use.
The USB Type-C connector plugging into the main unit features an L-shaped design to prevent accidental disconnections during intense play.
If the cable ever frays or breaks, players can simply replace it to keep using the MICRO.
EVA Material Mat Equipped on the Bottom
An EVA mat covers the bottom panel, keeping the MICRO firmly in place whether played on a desk or on a lap.
Abundant Customization Parts (Optional Items) Available
Committed to personalization, JunkFood Custom Arcades offers a wide lineup of custom parts for the MICRO, including colored button caps, concave and convex cap surfaces, and switches with varying actuation forces and feels.
Compatible accessories will roll out sequentially.
Supporting the Domestic Pro Esports Team, DONUTS VARREL
Even prior to its official product launch in Japan, JunkFood Custom Arcades actively supported the domestic gaming community through a partnership with Japanese pro esports team, DONUTS VARREL.
