The HORI Real Arcade Pro are a series of arcade game controllers released by Hori since July 29, 2004.

A successor to the Real Arcade, the Real Arcade Pro has a wider and heavy chassis that weighted about 2.6kg. It has a plastic construction with metal face plate and bottom plate. Most models has turbo functions. Some models has Hori's own arcade layout, while some has Noir arcade layout.

Models with the "SA" moniker comes with the Sanwa joystick and buttons, while models with the "SE" monikers comes with the Seimitsu joystick and buttons. Models without either monikers will usually have Sanwa or Seimitsu joystick with Hori's own buttons.

There had been many model released from 2004 to 2011. The Real Arcade Pro is the first release in the lineup and has Hori arcade layout. The original Real Arcade Pro was followed by the Real Arcade Pro 2, released on September 16, 2005, which is the first model with a Noir layout. The Real Arcade Pro 3, released on February 8, 2007, is the first model with PlayStation 3 compatiblity. The Real Arcade Pro 3 has an Xbox-360-compatible model in the form of the Real Arcade Pro EX, released on July 10, 2008.

Earlier models made specifically for the PlayStation and the PlayStation 2 consoles requires a third-party adapter to be able to work, but even then, they will mostly likely acts as DirectInput devices, requiring a third-party wrapper for games that only use the XInput API. Both the PlayStation-3-compatible models and the Xbox-360-compatible models has the standard USB type-A connector, but only the Xbox-360-compatible models are native XInput devices.
