HORI Fighting Commander OCTA (TEKKEN 8 Edition) for Windows PC - Tournament Grade Wired Fightpad Officially Licensed by Bandai Namco Entertainment

i loved the normal hori fight commander octa so i decided to buy this one for the design i like tekken and i have alot of hours in tekken so i decided to buy this to use while playing it its nice the dpad takes time to break in though i was missing giant swing inputs for awhile until i broke it in i still have this one around even though i recently bought the pro version they released so it has replaced this one i think its really cool they are working with popular fighting games i wish they made a mortal kombat one if they do end up doing that i will buy that one too alot of people complain about the dpad i can say if you have issues with it download the software and mess with the dead zones abit it helps alot

I am deeply disappointed with Hori. This new Octa Fightpad seems to have significant issues with diagonal inputs; they just don't register properly. I never encountered such problems with the previous models. Hori seriously needs to reevaluate their quality assurance process for these products. It's baffling how they could allow a product with such glaring flaws to be released. Witnessing Hori take steps backward in terms of product quality is exceptionally frustrating. I'll be returning this fightpad, and I'm now contemplating whether I can maintain my loyalty to Hori in the future. This level of quality is utterly unacceptable. DO NOT BUY.

Works well enough but feels cheap as hell in the hands. It has zero weight. I have pretty bad wrist pain when I play fighting games on a standard stick controller and this was no different.

Very good controller for fighting games, I exclusively use it for all my fighting games now. But it’s probably a bit overpriced just becose it has a Tekken logo on it. You might want to get the basic model

This controller has great ergonomics responsive buttons, and nice layout design. But none of that really matters if the D pad just won't pick up your inputs No matter how I've tried to adjust this thing on its windows app, I just cannot consistently input diagnols, especially in the left side of the Dpad. Stay clear of this thing

I got it for the design and for the addition of a second analog stick (more of a slider). The good qualities are the addition of a second stick for third person controller, rotating your character during cosmetic customizing and additional inputs for games like mk11. The bad qualities is one major thing. The dpad is terrible. It uses the rubber membranes that dont match the click format face buttons. Also the diagonals dont register leading me to drop alot of inputs during tekken 8 u know the controller that has tje said game paint job on it. Minor gripes are no headset jack and its extremely ligh weight. So buyer beware of the dpad and know what u r getting.

As you’ve seen in these reviews, the dpad has major issues with diagonal inputs. If you are not applying pressure at exactly a 45 degree angle, you aren’t going to get a diagonal input. For example, if you roll your thumb from down to forward on this controller, your inputs may look something like: - ⬇️⬇️⬇️↘️➡️➡️➡️ Whereas a normal controller would be something like: - ⬇️⬇️↘️↘️➡️➡️ The area where the diagonal registers is SO much slimmer than the cardinal directions, whereas normal controllers evenly distribute the area between each direction. I heard this may have been fixed in a firmware update, but already returned the controller. Trust me, just get the basic Octa instead unless you know for sure this controller has been fixed. The dpad is SO much better.

I like HORI's game controllers, particularly the PS5/PS4 Octa, so I ordered the controller around the time it was announced, mainly because I wanted to compare the two and have a backup. Sadly, the Tekken version of the controller is not quite as good as the original Octa. The positives are the right stick add-on. That does help, particularly if you need to control the camera in Tekken 8's Arcade Quest or lobbies in that game or other fighting games such as SF6 (or Granblue if it's lobbies can be controller in that manner. The design is also great. I wish there would be more fightpads with designs, in fact. The controller is cool-looking and pleasing to the eye. However, the D-Pad is not great on this controller ... much worse than the first Octa, particularly as it pertains to diagonals. With the Tekken 8 Octa, if you're trying to get a diagonal input, you have to "force" it, whereas on the original Octa, it doesn't require as much to get a proper diagonal. Even adjusting the sensitivity in the Device Manager did not seem to improve it at all. Also, it's only for PC, so you may not be able to use it at certain tournaments without a converter. This may not be a huge deal for those who primarily or exclusively play on PC, but it is something to take note of if you do not. Because of this, I could only recommend the controller if you're incapable of getting the PS5 or Xbox Series Octa, or you just want the controller because it looks cool. It makes a decent backup in a pinch, but I would stick with the other Octas which are much better quality.
