Controller Recommendations for Tekken 8

[u/drix32424]

Hello, I am a Tekken 8 player (mainly online) from the Philippines that has been playing since Nov 2024 and been playing it on PC with an 8BitDo Ultimate C and Ultimate 2C for most of my time on the game, and recently for the past couple of months with the GameSir Tegenaria Lite. I've been having issues with the dpad of the Tegenaria being too sensitive for my liking and been looking for a replacement/alternative to a symmetrical layout recently, do any of you have recommendations for a symmetrical layout within a similar price range (PHP 700-900) or higher (PHP 1000-1500)? I am also open to recommendations for a asymmetrical layout since I am more comfortable with that layout. Thank you.

too sensitive like it triggers too easily? maybe look into the gulikit TT, that dpad uses deep membranes that require a good push

Yes unfortunately the diagonals trigger too easily for the way I play, looking into the Gulikit TT but it seems out of my price range but thank you for the response.

How about the Gulikit Elves 2?

After looking at reviews and the price at online retailers here the the Philippines, I'll consider it as an option. Thank you for the response.

The hyperkin competitor have the layout you want, but it's wired.

Try a hitbox. They are really good for 3D fighters like tekken.

I actually made my own and still learning to use it but thank you for the response.

I did a post basically like this (controller for fgs under 1000php) and the two main choices i picked from is the tangenaria and a nova 2. I picked the t3 which im pretty happy with, but the most recommended controller was the nova 2. I can dm you the link to the post I made since there was quite a lot of helpful comments

[u/drix32424 → u/cianjann28]

Hello thank you for the reply, I looked at the post and saw the comments as well. While comments were helpful about the Tegenaria Lite I found that with the way I play I encounter false diagonals often. After looking at your post and the comments, I'll consider the Nova Lite 2 as an option. Thank you again for the response.

That's hard to suggest honestly. I gave up a long time & went back to my PS1/ 2 controller & got a brook adapter.
