The contenders
Hori Fighting Commander OCTA
Consider this OCTA if a six-button face layout is more useful to you than two full analog sticks and feedback effects. Match the platform edition before buying; the Wireless OCTA Pro and Xbox models have different features.
- Six face buttons with micro-switches
- Octagonal stick gate
- Adjustable directional-input settings
- PS5, PS4 and Windows XInput support
- Wired only
- No rumble, motion or adaptive-trigger effects
- Touchpad and headset jack unavailable on PC
- Specialist layout for games that suit it
DualSense Edge
Consider the Edge for PS5 features, profile controls and a documented way to replace a faulty stick module. It also has official PC customization. Do not buy on the assumption that every internal part is user-serviceable or that all faults can be fixed by swapping a module.
- Complete stick modules can be replaced using Sony’s procedure
- Two rear controls with different attachment styles
- Adjustable trigger travel
- Saved profiles and PC customization
- Haptics and adaptive triggers in supported games
- Replacement stick modules are sold separately
- Only two rear controls
- PC feature support depends on the game and connection
- No retained GPADLAB battery-runtime test
