The Hype Behind 2XKO
The fighting game community’s next big showdown is almost here. 2XKO, Riot Games’ upcoming 2v2 tag-team fighter, is shaping up to redefine what a modern brawler can be, all while incorporating the character familiarity of the League of Legends universe. Fast-paced, accessible, and packed with strategic depth, it’s built to welcome new players while giving FGC veterans something fresh to master.
In 2XKO, every tag, assist, and counter matters. Precision separates the highlights from the heartbreaks. And that’s where the Razer Kitsune comes in – an all-button optical arcade controller engineered for accuracy, speed, and total control when even a single frame can decide the outcome.
Fighting Game Basics (For the Uninitiated)
Fighting games are a test of fundamentals – spacing, timing, and execution. They look flashy on screeth every combo and counter is a dance of data and precision.
At the heart of that precision is frame data. Every move in a fighting game takes a set number of frames (or animation ticks) to start, hit, and recover. Miss your timing by just one frame, and you could turn a clean punish into a full combo against you. Think of it as the difference between a perfect parry and getting bodied.
This is why input precision matters. Leverless controllers are becoming the preferred choice among competitive players as they trade the joystick for directional buttons that allow tighter inputs, cleaner motion, and faster recovery between commands.
The Razer Kitsune embraces this evolution, combining a leverless layout with optical precision to eliminate input lag and misreads. To learn more about how leverless design is changing competitive play, check out our full feature: The Razer Kitsune: Moving from Lever to Lever-less.
What Makes 2XKO Unique
Unlike traditional one-on-one fighters, 2XKO amps up the intensity with its tag and assist system, where you:
- Pick two champions and swap dynamically mid-combo
- Chain attacks, extend pressure, or use assists for cover
- Execute fluid, high-energy gameplay that feels cinematic and competitive all at once
- The result? A game that feels both chaotic and strategic. It’s easy to pick up, but with an incredibly high skill ceiling. 2XKO rewards creativity, teamwork, and clutch reactions, whether you’re playing casually with friends or competing on stage.
It’s designed with esports in mind but built for everyone. The perfect playground for players who love style and substance.
Why the Razer Kitsune Is the Perfect Fit
When milliseconds matter, hardware becomes the difference between a clean victory and a missed input.
1. Ultra-Precise Optical Switches
The Kitsune’s all-button design is powered by Razer’s low-profile linear optical switches, delivering near-instant actuation with every tap. No debounce delay, no wasted motion – just raw precision.
2. Leverless, Slim Form Factor
Without a joystick, the Kitsune is slimmer, lighter, and far more portable than traditional fight sticks. The all-button layout also eliminates accidental diagonal inputs, a common issue when executing tight combos or defensive maneuvers.
3. Built for Tournament Play
Durable, consistent, and ready for travel, the Kitsune’s aluminum top plate, detachable USB-C cable, and tournament lock switch make it a reliable companion for every stage.
When a single frame can decide the match, Razer Kitsune ensures you never drop the input.
