Product Information

The Razer Panthera, considered serious hardware for dedicated gamers, is compatible with PC, PS3, and PS4. Many professionals use and recommend it because of the ample room, Sanwa Denshi buttons, the board, and the gate. Razer Panthera is customizable, and the manufacturer consistently offers updates. The Hit Box is a beast of a unit with large arcade style buttons. And you might notice it’s missing something. Sometimes the best controller is the one you already have. Fighting games are designed with console controllers in mind, so you don't have to buy a different controller if you don't need to. Besides, many top fighting game players worldwide use traditional controllers like the PS4 and Xbox One.

Logitech's Gamepad F310 is the best entry-level controller for most gamers. It's simple, affordable, and works as soon as you plug it in. Sure, the F310 won't be winning any awards, but it'll get you started, and that's what counts. Another perk is that it works on almost any platform as it is not exclusive, like the controllers for Xbox or PlayStation. And if you’re looking for one of the best controllers for fighting games in an arcade style, then Hori Fighting Edge is a staple. In many cases, players prefer a button layout that has six front facing buttons on the right side (three on top, three on bottom). I recently got a Hori Hayabusa and I love it. I also have a SN30 pro but I love me a good 6 button fight pad. This unfortunately hasn't sold me, although I love the Saturn feel. M30 seems a better overall proposal.But we enjoy good combat, just like the next guy. Plus, I personally fight in real life, so… *cool guy alert* Hori controllers are known for their build quality and accuracy. They're a bit costly, but they're worth the premium. The Hori Fighting Commander controller is perfect for gamers that grew up with the Sega Genesis, PlayStation 1, and Xbox. It's comfortable for long gaming sessions and fits in most hands. Press and swipe with full touchpad functionality for PlayStation 4 systems. You can play all PS4 touchpad games with this Mad Catz controller The M30 is the only controller that feels like an improvement over the original Saturn controller, it is wireless, compatible with many other devices and it is sold for half of what is asked for this controller... And the official bluetooth Retrobit x SEGA Saturn controller is also going to be sold really soon for half the price!

Unlike a restrictive 4-way D-pad, the Razer™ Mecha-tactile 8-way D-pad allows you to streamline your execution with clean diagonal inputs so that you can perform moves with greater precision. The bottom is a nonslip material to keep the controller from moving around too much in your lap or on your desktop.The Brook Sniper Converter is something completely different! Although it's primarily aimed at bringing mouse/keyboard functionality to console FPS titles, fighting game fans can also take advantage of it when it comes to tournament play, especially if they're more comfortable with the control scheme. It disables the buttons along the top edge of the controller, which includes the menu/pause button. This feature is important for tournament play, as accidentally pausing the game can cause you to forfeit the round based on tournamentrules.

You might think that 8BitDo's take on the classic SNES controller would be a bad fit for fighting games, but that's not the case. Instead, the SN30 Pro (and its Super Famicon-inspired SF30 equivalent) are superb for beat-downs, thanks mainly to an excellent D-Pad.

There are four buttons for directional movement and the up button is larger and located on the bottom. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. The six action buttons are perfect for fighting games, and the Sega Saturn style dpad is great for precision movement. There's a reason why Nintendo and Smash Bros players still use the GameCube controller. Familiarity is a big reason, but it's also because the game was designed with that controller in mind. Plus, you'll have a much easier time learning and playing Smash Bros with the right tools. It's a real shame that the Fusion FightPad doesn't quite live up to the hype because the Saturn controller it takes so much inspiration from is utterly superb. If you're not bothered about fighting games and simply want a decent wired pad that's great for old-school arcade titles (the Contra, Castlevania and Konami Arcade collections spring to mind) then this is a solid choice, but sadly when it comes to playing fighting games – the very genre it was created to cater for – it's somewhat less successful.Device Status will change from “OFFLINE” to “ONLINE” once the Fighting Commander OCTA has been recognized.

Next, the Hitbox. We think it's a fantastic design that offers the best accuracy and precision possible, making it perfect for those aiming for the top. Ultimately, however, it's a strange design that isn't suited for every game. The more fast-paced your game or character is, the more likely you are to trip over your own fingers. We suggest you try out this controller once you're more well-versed in the medium and want to min-max your performance. I will admit I had a bit of an embarrassing moment as I didn’t realize the shoulder button layout was different until I was deep into a few matches of Mortal Kombat 11. I kept trying to execute a Fatal Blow by pressing L2 + R2 simultaneously with no success, and was certain that there was something wrong with the controller. It’s not until I realized the unique layout was intentional, allowing me to perform this ability with just my right hand. And lastly… a wired controller will always be preferable over a bluetooth connection due to the possible tiny delay on input, which will make all the difference in an intense fight.
