The new NACON Daija Arcade stick is out now for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

This NACON Daija Arcade stick is a new and improved version that I reviewed back in 2019 which was compatible with PC and PlayStation 4. The older arcade stick will work on newer consoles; however, it won’t come with the extra bells and whistles.

This time there will be two Daija Arcade Sticks, both officially licensed by Sony and Xbox, respectively. Once more, they have also been developed in partnership with pro gamer and esports specialist, Marie-Laure “Kayane” Norindr.

Like the previous mode, both Daija Arcade Sticks will be compatible with SANWA components with a variety of customisation options.

Below are the specs for each of the PlayStation and Xbox Daija Arcade Sticks:

  • Buttons ideally placed to leave ample room for the left wrist
  • New side button lock system, which prevents accidental button presses that can pause games: “options” button, “create” button and “PS button” on the PlayStation version – “Menu button“, “View button“, “Share button” and “Xbox button” on the Xbox version
  • New profile selection option
  • New player position LED light on the PlayStation version
  • New Arcade Stick opening system directly integrated into the case
  • New covering under the Arcade Stick: more flexible with improved grip for better stability
  • All the classic PlayStation and Xbox controller buttons built into the DAIJA Arcade Stick
  • Textured palm rest
  • Platform selection system: PS4/PS5/ PC – Xbox Series X|S/Xbox One/PC
  • Stick functionality configuration (left/right or directional buttons) based on requirements
  • Weight: approx. 3.5kg
  • Dimensions: 435x295x159mm

Customisation on both Daija Arcade Stick includes:

  • Two stick types (ball top and bat top)
  • Three faceplate designs. Users can also create their own designs using the downloadable template on www.nacongaming.com
  • Two tools to customise the Arcade Stick
  • Two storage compartments for the tools
  • Secure storage for the 3m detachable USB-C cable

Both the PlayStation and Xbox models are available now with an RRP of €279.90 and €299 via Nacomgaming.com. You can also read my review of the previous model for PC and PS4 here.
