Turtle Beach Reveals Victrix Pro KO Leverless Fight Stick Inspired by Street Fighter II: Champion Edition
Turtle Beach has unveiled a new addition to its Victrix line of competitive fighting game gear, introducing the Victrix Pro KO Leverless Fight Stick inspired by Street Fighter II: Champion Edition. Designed for serious players and collectors alike, the officially licensed controller blends tournament-ready performance with artwork that celebrates one of the most iconic eras in gaming history.
The new controller carries bold visuals taken directly from Street Fighter II: Champion Edition. The faceplate prominently features the classic Player Select screen along with legendary fighters Ryu and Chun-Li. The design pays tribute to the arcade legacy of the Street Fighter series while delivering modern features aimed at competitive play.
Turtle Beach says the Pro KO leverless fight stick continues the Victrix tradition of delivering hardware built specifically for the fighting game community. The controller previously earned recognition at the EVO Awards, where it was named Best Tech in 2024. Since then it has remained a popular option among professional players who value precision and customization.
At its core, the Victrix Pro KO leverless controller focuses on speed and responsiveness. It uses hot swappable Cherry MX Speed Silver RGB switches that are designed to register inputs quickly and consistently. The controller also supports up to 16 movable and mappable buttons, allowing players to customize their layout for different fighting styles or tournament rulesets.
Customization is a major part of the experience. The removable aluminum top plate allows players to easily access the internals for modifications or maintenance. Each button is surrounded by customizable RGB lighting, giving players the ability to personalize the look of their setup while they compete.
According to Trevor Lehr, Director of Product Management for Victrix, the goal was to create a controller that combines high performance with a strong visual identity tied to fighting game culture. He explained that the Pro KO leverless fight stick is designed for players who want complete control over their hardware while showcasing their passion for the genre.
The Victrix Pro KO Leverless Fight Stick inspired by Street Fighter II: Champion Edition will be compatible with PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Windows 10 and 11 PCs. The controller launches April 9, 2026 with a retail price of $299.99 and is available for pre order now through Victrix and select retailers.

Alongside the new fight stick, Turtle Beach also revealed another item designed for players who regularly travel to tournaments and events. The Victrix Tournament Backpack – Street Fighter Edition offers a premium carrying solution built specifically for competitive gamers.
The backpack includes padded storage designed to safely hold a fight stick, along with a dedicated laptop pocket and a secure strap for carrying a gaming headset. The exterior design features recognizable Street Fighter artwork, making it a stylish option for fans of the franchise.
Built with both travel and everyday use in mind, the backpack is intended to help players safely transport their gear whether they are heading to a local event or a major esports tournament.
The Victrix Tournament Backpack – Street Fighter Edition launches on April 9, 2026 with a retail price of $99.99 and is available for pre order starting today through Victrix and participating retailers.
