If you've entered the latest King of Iron Fist Tournament you might be wondering what the best controllers for Tekken 8 are. Fighting games bring about a unique challenge for modern controllers, especially seeing as a lot of them are designed more with first-person games in mind. While you need the functionality that back buttons can give you, the most important aspects of fighting game controllers are speed and accuracy.
To tell the truth, any one of the best PC controllers could do the trick in Tekken 8. That said, of all the gamepads I've been lucky enough to try out in the last year, four come to mind as top contenders I'd be trying to use in the new Tekken. Any of them will work on PC, two of them appear on our best PS5 controller list, and the other two are Xbox Series X controllers. No matter what platform you're playing on, you'll be covered with my recommendations below.
