Hori PS5 Fighting Commander OCTA

This 'Satelite Dish' (as I nicknamed it) Style D-Pad is the best for Street Fighter. I'm really not happy with the dual-sense d-pad or even the dualshock 4 I was using on PS4. This makes fireball rotation movement for shoto characters like Ryu or Ken and charge characters like Chun-Li so much easier to execute combos. The accuracy for execution is instantly noticeable. I only returned mine, because I needed the money back, but I will be purchasing another soon for street fighter content on YouTube. I love Street Fighter and this is my favourite controller. Having the 6 light, medium and heavy attack buttons on the front, make the game more fun also. I never liked using triggers on the back for fighting games. The feel of the controller is nice. Very professionally made (if that makes sense), visually as well. Looks nice. I can easily spend hours using this controller without my thumbs hurting and the material it's made from is nice to hold on to. The buttons don't take much effort to register a click, so you might not like this? I got used to it though. I suppose that's for quick reactions during play, which makes sense. They 6 buttons, make clicky sounds like mouse clicks, for your info. The only negative I can think of is the sound from the headphone port isn't as clear and bassy as the dual-sense controller, and I like my bass. It's not aweful and tinny, but it does lean towards a sharper, tinny sound. Anyway, it's great, so give it a buy if you like fighting games!

Good pad ease of use is a little difficult overall good value for money

As an enjoyed of GameCube I've always loved octagonal gates on joysticks. Even modified my old SFxT arcade stick to have one. Better control of diagonals and more tactile on QCFs etc. couple this with the funky micro switched buttons and it's a damn good bit of kit. Great for Tekken, Street Fighter and arcade style single stick games.

The Pad is very light so doesn't feel good. D-pad is terrible lots of missed inputs. The analog isn't much better even after all software updates.

d-pad issues. Quick / singular commit inputs are problematic. I doesn't seem to affect games like shmups and fighters where continuous fluid 'snaking' or circular d-pad movement is required and brief mis-inputs get ironed out, but this pad just aint good for platformers. For instance I keep doing accidental slides instead of jumps in platformers that have a Mega Man-style slide move. Meaning that unintentional diagonal inputs are happening too often when a cardinal input was intended. A great shame which means this pad is not a good all-rounder for 2D gameplay.

If you play any fighting games which require motion inputs ( qcf, hcf, dp etc.) do not buy this pad. The face buttons feel good due to the machanical switches but the dpad is potentially the worst ive ever used. the pad itsef is not an ergonomic shape or size, and its impossible to find corners. when i watched reviews, it said that a firmware update would fix the diagonals but the firmware update either doesnt work or bricks the entire pad, at which point they will ask you to return it. If you play easy characters/ you are bad at the game then you might be fine, but if you care about accuracy of inputs avoid this pad at all costs. I should mention that this pad has ALOT of potential for future development, but is completely unusable in its current state.

I had the previous hori fight pad for PS4 which unfortunately didn’t work on my ps5 so upgraded. The buttons are good and I prefer the satellite dish D-pad (the previous version didn’t have this). I was a bit sceptical as satellite dish d-pads don’t seem that accurate, but I’ve had non issues with inputs using this. So far really enjoying it.

Good controller for tekken 8. Better then the original ps5 controller for it. Takes some time getting used to but moves come out crisp. D pad so much better and light weight. Feels good In the hand!

Really love the Hori OCTA! I play most games on arcade sticks (street fighter, guilty gear etc), but for Mortal Kombat 1 I was looking for a controller with a good D-pad. I am really happy with the Hori. The D-pad is a big improvement for me over the standard PS5 controller, it gets out the special moves very consistently and fast. The buttons are very nice, you can feel the micro switch buttons are different but they are light and very fast to press also, it sounds like a mouse click and I think also here a good improvement over a standard controller. I used the hori software to map some buttons to make it suited for MK1 better and I like the fact that it stores it on the controller so you don't have to mess around with the PS settings. You can switch on the controller between PC, PS4 and PS5 and for each of these you can save a profile. So that can come in handy as both the PS4 and PS5 setting work on a PS5 console you have more or less 2 settings you can store. The controller is very light, this is not an issue to me, it is comfortable to hold and seems to be of good quality. I will have to play some more months before I can say that though :)

Super Controller. habe mein wavedash und PEWGF deutlich verbessert. viel weniger missinputs, sehr mechanisch und responsive. ich kann es nur empfehlen

used for a good 50 hours by now - feels cheap, buttons feel and sound like cheap mouse buttons and dpad can be annoyingly imprecise

Stick drift started to occur 2 months after ordering the controller, incredibly disappointed. Buttons were good, but diagonals were questionable with the controller
