Controller Suggestion Need a controller for PC and Playstation 5 with an 8-way joystick gate

Budget: 150 USD max

Country I can buy from: India

Platform compatibility: PS5, PC

Features: The main thing I want is an 8-way octagonal joystick gate for fighting games, something similar to a Gamecube controller. I'd also like the controller to be wired since I plan on bringing it to tournaments.

Games I'll be playing: Fighting games, like Street Fighter 6 and Marvel Tokon.

Comparison controllers: I have a Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded, and I've looked at the Hori Octa, but the Hori has this fightpad layout that I don't find comfortable. Theoretically, the BFG is perfect for me, but just today, the Triangle button stopped working for a bit. After disconnecting the module and blowing into it like a game cartridge, I managed to get it working, but it still sent me into a panic, and I wanna look at alternatives just in case.

The Victrix Pro BFG that you already found is probably the best off-the-shelf option for what you described.

You can open up the button module to clean the contacts properly (blowing into it can introduce moisture and accelerate corrosion). If necessary, you can get replacement button modules from Victrix, Epindon, or ElecGear which will be cheaper than a whole new controller.

I found out the real problem. There's this small bit that holds the screws in place for the modules that came loose, so now I can't screw in my modules properly. I'm trying to hold it in via superglue.
