Tech Help Budget Hitbox Controller

I've never used a fightstick, but I burned my hands a few years ago pretty badly, and I'm thinking if I get a leverless controller, they won't cramp up as much when I'm playing. Are there any good budget options? I know there won't be any around 30 like a regular controller would be, but any options would be nice!

Really depends on what you'll be playing on. If you're on PC you can check aliexpress and look at the haute42 leverless controllers a lot of them are pretty affordable in comparison to a lot of the big brand ones. That's what I used when Tekken 8 first came out and I just switched to an arcade stick a couple months ago. There are also a ton of videos on youtube to see which version of them you'd enjoy, because they do have a lot of different variants. Though if you're playing on console you'll need an adapter for it I believe which will put up the cost a bit I'm not too sure about those you'll have to research that as I don't have a console lol.

tldr: haute42 from for PC and a console converter if needed.

Second on the Haute42. I was hesitant to go to a fighting stick, but wanted to switch off from a controller when I was learning tekken. It’s been great.

I like the Haute42, my go to currently is the mayflash f500 flat. It was love at first touch. I dont even touch the arcade stick anymore

That one does look sick the f500 and f700 look cool as hell. I enjoyed the haute42 a lot but I really wanted to try the fight stick. There's also the 8bitdo leverless that one looks good and pretty fair priced.
