LEADJOY SABER Plus Controller Launches in Japan for Around $54

LEADJOY introduces the SABER PLUS wireless game controller to the Japanese market on July 17, 2026, targeting players who want to avoid stick drift. The device uses high-precision TMR technology in its analog sticks to extend lifespan and maintain accuracy over time. This matters to buyers because mechanical wear is a common failure point for standard controllers, and this design aims to solve that issue before it affects gameplay.

The controller features the JS13 PRO stick module, which LEADJOY claims reduces input noise through an integrated RC filter. Users can calibrate the joystick position with a single button press using the AI-optimized calibration system. The company distributes the device in Japan through Scythe Inc., while LEADJOY remains the brand based in China.
