Tobi

Creator of FlatboxLab

Hey, I'm Tobi, the creator behind FlatboxLab! I started this project because I wanted to dive into fighting games with my own custom hitbox controller. But I also wanted it packed with all the top-tier features you'd expect from high-end hitboxes.

My controllers are designed to perform, with an average input latency of 0.76ms. But it's not just about performance. I wanted these hitboxes to look and feel amazing too. I handpick high-quality materials, designing each controller with custom artwork, often inspired by famous fighting game characters.

The Flatbox Journey

Every Flatbox is handmade by me, right here in Germany, and I ship them worldwide. My workshop is where raw materials and cutting-edge technology come together to create controllers that are not just tools, but works of art.

From selecting the right material to the final quality checks, every step in creating a Flatbox is done with utmost care and precision. It's a fan-made project, and every piece is crafted with attention to detail, from design to the final product.
