For all its faults, the GameSir AimSwitch’s keyboard felt great to use, thanks to its blue mechanical switches. A lot of that comes down to sloppy, loose keys and a mouse that feels worse than those that come with cheap pre-built PCs. “It’s clear that Hori paid a lot of attention to how the Pro Type M2 feels in use, I just wish the overall fit and finish didn’t feel so cheap. And just below on the side, there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack. On the left side where macro keys would sit on a typical keyboard are four buttons for options, quick, 元 and another circle key. Rather than typical lettered keys, the Pro Type M2 is pre-labeled with bindings for L2, R2, R1 and X on the top row triangle, up, L1 and square on the second left, down, right and R3 below that and function, snipe, circle and walk at the bottom. The joystick act as the left stick (or WASD), controlling movement, and just above it is a small X button, which acts as a spacebar replacement. It’s incredibly comfortable and during my tests did an admirable job at fighting off any wrist strain I encountered. Push a button to the side of the mini joystick and the wrist-wrest slides back a quarter of an inch to ever so slightly accommodate those with larger mitts such as myself. Sitting below the partial 20-key keyboard is a curved, textured wrist-wrest. TAC Commander Pro Type M2 – Design and FeaturesThe TAC Pro Type M2’s greatest strength is its ergonomics.

At $150, it’s not quite an impulse buy, so let’s find out how that promise holds up in the real world. Hell, the box even has “engineered for FPS domination” printed on the front of it. However, the promise is largely the same: the keyboard and mouse allow for better accuracy and aiming in some games than a controller, giving you an edge in battle. Its mechanical keyboard is also backlit, unlike the non-backlit GameSir AimSwitch VX (also $150) I reviewed previously, which works with the Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One. It isn’t the vaunted accessory maker’s first keyboard and mouse controller, but it’s an officially licensed product for the PlayStation 4, which means it has a touchpad and PS Home button and will work seamlessly with the PlayStation 3 in addition to Sony’s modern console. Hori’s fight sticks are the stuff of legend, so I had high hopes for the TAC (Tactical Assault Commander) Pro Type M2 (See it on Amazon). If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale.
