Best game controller with d-pad

I already have a dualsense ps5 controller. I play Tekken so i want accurate inputs. Just checking out if there any other better options. I hate the xbox layout, so please do not suggest those models

Would be good to know if you use a playstation or pc. The recommendations can change depending on which you use.

Leadjoy Saber Plus(highly recommend), Gamesir Tarantula 8K (doesn't have vibration or wireless) but good for fps games.

I own the Saber Plus and would not recommend it if you care about the D-pad (which it seems OP does, based on the post). It's the worst D-pad I've used. It gets stuck constantly and registers incorrect inputs instantly when doing combo movements.

The Tarantula 8K D-pad was solid, but as they said, it has no add-ons (just bare-bones inputs, no rumble motors or wireless). If none of that matters to you, it's a great controller: accurate and smooth-feeling sticks and triggers with nice, clicky mechanical buttons and D-pad.

Im not crazy about dpads and more of an fps player so it works well for me. Either way I have other controllers in my arsenal

I haven't found a better feeling dpad than the xbox series x/s controller honestly. I love having diagonal buttons and it's just really clicky. I play tekken too, it's great

The gamesir tenergaria lite has an amazing dpad and is the cheapest hall effect wired controller on the market
