Hori Wired Controller Fighting Commander OCTA 6-button Pad - Xbox Series X/S - Xbox One - PC (Xbox Series X//)

I use this for Street Fighter IV, V, 30th Anniversary and it has definitely improved my game. it's extremely light weight, it sounds and feels a little plastic but in no way do I feel it is not a quality product.The D-pad is nice, the analog stick is perfect, the 6 front facing buttons are a game changer for me and the shoulder buttons are more than acceptable.If you play street fighter on the PC/Xbox then this pad is for you

One of the best controllers I've used for fighting games. Micro switch face buttons (6 buttons on the right of the controller) feel satisfying and very responsive. Also works on a PS4 with a Brooks Xbox One to PS4 adapter should you need it. My only gripe is the limited remap functionality available in the Hori device manager software, hopefully the functionality of that will be expanded with an update.

I really do not like this or recommend it. the controller is comfortable to hold. the face buttons are nice. The analog stick is great.But anyone who plays fighting games know even the smallest thing can make it hard to win games. There are times when Im crouching in fighterz using this controller that it doesnt defend properly. Its like trying to corner block is useless, it will flicker between left and down. This doesnt happen on a series x controller.the dpad feels like it barely even responds to you. It's rigid and not satisfying to press at all, and is very small.the build quality feels kind of crappy and many people are saying itll break down after a few months. i decided im getting a refund after like, 3 days of using it. If it takes that long to get used to it, its not worth it for meand there are also times in training when my special move wouldnt trigger, times when my heavy wouldnt come out. dont get this controller. of course for other people, it might be different, but I just dont recommend it. I've been playing fighterz for months now and im telling you, even the switch pro controller and series x pad are better options than this.

First and foremost, I just want to say that this controller disappointed me. For £40 I was expecting a pretty decent little controller for fighting games, but sadly this is not the case.The look, the clicky face buttons, the nice snappy shoulder buttons, the analog stick even, all nice. I'm not sure how good the analog stick would be to play for an FPS game for example but for a fighting game, it's actually decent! The 8 octagonal directions that lock the analog stick in place are really clever, similar to a Gamecube controller.Now for the bad parts:- This controller is incredibly light to hold, which you might consider to be a good thing but I would be very cautious about the durability, especially if you have a strong grip. It feels cheap.- The six button layout is not very well designed in my opinion. If you had to press A and then the RB face button, the distance your thumb has to travel is quite far. So unless you play with a piano grip, this might be a negative for you.- The app that comes with this controller doesn't really do much that steam can do instead, and the d-pad configuration is not at all a good "fix" for any issues you have.Now, a separate section for the d-pad. Oh boy... the d-pad. For me, as a fighting game player, this is the make or break.- This d-pad is INCREDIBLY stiff, and very small. If you place your thumb on the center it likely barely contains the bottom of your knuckle joint, and is not at all comfortable. Doing any kind of motion input with this thing is a nightmare. I had to push this thing down with my thumb more than any other d-pad I've used, I can imagine within a week I'd be nursing a very calloused thumb.- Mis-inputs. Oh boy. I spent about an hour or two testing this thing out, in depth, and forward/back jumping in a 2D fighting game was probably 50% reliable, at best, being generous. This d-pad just does not want to ever input up-forward. Due to how stiff it is, you have to press very hard in the direction you want. The problem is, the d-pad is absolutely tiny, so any tiny little minor adjustment your thumb makes is now a new input. This thing was doing 5-6 inputs just from me tapping up forward. And before you think "wait, I heard about some firmware fix for this", I updated to the latest firmware, it changed nothing.- The controller has an app that "adjusts d-pad sensitivity". What this really means is, you can increase the deadzone on the dpad in 8 directions. This is not at all a fix for doing mis-inputs, all this does is make your other inputs even less reliable. Trying to do a forward jump in Street Fighter and you keep either stepping forward or neutral jump? Well let's just reduce your ability to do those things. Did it improve your ability to forward jump? Not really. Did it force you to press even harder on the d-pad to move forward or jump? Yes. Just not helpful at all.Overall, I really really wanted to like this controller, I thought that this was going to be the controller I use for years as my go-to fighting game controller, but alas, I returned it within a few hours.

This pad is a massive improvement for anyone playing 6 button fighting games. The attack buttons are as clicky as a mouse and the gate on the stick is nice, although I’m not a fan of analogue. One minor issue is that the Dpad is a bit tougher on your thumb than the Xbox series controllers, but inputs do free more consistent in returnNote: the controller will most likely ship with an out of date firmware that will require updating on the Hori app for PC or Xbox.Regarding the issue in so many of these reviews, with weird inputs problems- like missing blocks and messed up specials caused by random neutral inputs - it’s another easy fix, go back to Hori App and on every profile you want to use, go to dpad settings and turn on balanced input mode. Controller has been perfect since.Do this and you won’t have any more issues, which is nice; because now whenever you lose, you’ll know that it wasn’t the controller that let you down, you let yourself down and what’s more you made Blanka cry

This feels pretty awesome as a fight pad but make sure you use the application on the windows store to update the controller, the default firmware has a bug where the pad resets to neutral when attempting to roll between diagonals so instead of down downright right you get down neutral, downright neutral right which stops a lot of specials coming out.After updating its fixed though so make sure you do it.

Bought this specifically for the 6 button layout to use on fighters as the alternative fusion a fightpad was out of stock. Buttons and feel of controller is fine however for a fightpad the dpad could be a lot better and although isnt can feel loose at times, ive also noticed when trying to do s diagonal jump sometimes only up is recognised not up / right. Shame really i used to rate hori products but they seem to be getting more and more cheaply made over time.
