Pros & Cons

Pros

Octa is an economical way to enjoy your favorite fighting games with a better-than-normal controller. If you're buying this controller for pc, i still recommend the xbox versions because it's an extra button to freely switch what the stick, shoulders,...  Read More



Cons

The locking feature is useful to disable the touchpad and start/select *, but it does not function on ps5. The layout is further ruined by the joystick. I'm not sure how this controller has positive reviews when something like this can completely ruin...  Read More

The dpad breaks like clockwork. It pushes the dpad too far to the edge, and makes it harder to use.
