NACON has announced the launch of two new DAIJA Arcade Sticks for the latest generation consoles, which we can enjoy with an official license for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series and PC.
The various NACON teams collaborated once again with Marie-Laure “Kayane” Norindr, Esports champion specializing in the fighting game genre. The improvements introduced in this new version push the limits of performance and comfort to meet the needs of the most demanding gamers.
