HORI Fighting Commander OCTA (Tekken 8 Edition) for PC (Windows 11/10)

Once again. A big disapointment from Hori. Seeing this controller is supposed to be for fighting games. Even sporting a "wonderful" Tekken 8 design, the controller isn't up to figthing games standards. First of all. The dedicated software used to change the D-Pad sensitivity isn't working properly. The controller can be recognized as a 360 controller or an actual PC Pad. If you launch the program to change the settings, it'll act as a PC periphery. AS soon as you TAB OUT of the program window, the controller disconnects itself and reconnects as a 360 controller. What does it mean? The software adjustment you just made are not being taken in consideration. Second of all. The D-Pad YET AGAIN is an absolute mess. The diagonals are NOT registered properly, there is no ammount of software update that are gonna fix this. It is a physical D-Pad issue. It is not up to fighting game standards. I've played fighting games for a solid 10+ years and I was having issue doing quarter circle inputs. The controller itself feels cheap. The plastic for the shoulder button is something you should be REALLY careful with. The front buttons also need to be handled gently. It is just the same product as the other Hori with a fancy design on it. Please if you are a fighting game enjoyer DO NOT buy this product. I've already sent mine back and will look into alternative in order to play fighting games. I wish the Commander Fightpad was still around for Ps5. But sadly Hori does not really care.

Es ist ein schönes T8 Design und der Controller ist sehr leicht im Vergleich zu den PS5 Controller! Die Druckknöpfe sind etwas größer als beim PS5 Controller aber daran gewöhnt man sich schnell! Ich würde den Controller wieder Kaufen!

El control es responsivo y comodo de usar, está versión en particular es exclusiva para PC. El diseño y la calidad de la serigrafía es buena. Lo único malo es que los botones no cuentan con un esmalte que evite que se borren los símbolos de los mismos con el tiempo.

I give it a 5☆ because honestly, if you can get yourself this controller for less than 30$CAD, it's hard to complain. The same controller is 60$USD on the Hori USA website. You can also buy the same controller Licensed by Capcom for around 90$CAD if you prefer, but in this current economy, we're trying to save and put the hobby aside unless there is a very good deal that you can't skip. I wonder if the price was affected by how Tekken 8 players were letdown with the 2nd Season Pass. I connected the controller on a Brook Wingman FGC to play on my PS5 and it just work. I can play Street Fighter 6 World Tour with the right joystick and having my full six buttons for classic play. I didn't really liked the D-Pad on older Street Fighter games (SF 30th AC) but on SF6 it isn't too bad, just nothing compared to the 8bitdo M30 Xbox version which is by far better and more confortable to hold. tldr; just buy it :)

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
