This one looks really good and it's a pretty decent price too. Thanks for the tips.

the hori fight pad is just a dpad and six face buttons, I used one for a while before I got a stick and it was better for me than the basic playstation pad
There are two versions on Amazon ( both literally named hori fighting commandar 4)

Is there a difference?
Also i heard octa has problems, is that true? Because hori 4 is quite difficult to come by.
My big fingers chew through d-pads like a beaver.
Well that really depends do you want a pad or a fight stick? For a pad get this: https://www.amazon.com/Fighting-Commander-PlayStation-Officially-Licensed-4/dp/B01GVOFIAA/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=3P3K31AZ56Z66&keywords=hori+fighting+commander&qid=1641104512&sprefix=hori+fi%2Caps%2C237&sr=8-2
For a stick get this: https://www.amazon.com/MAYFLASH-Arcade-Stick-F101-Switch/dp/B07D26RD9P/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?crid=22E1VUI3EVICL&keywords=fight+sticks+pc&qid=1641104657&sprefix=fight%2Caps%2C299&sr=8-9
Unfortunately I'm going the $50 range for you because you get what you pay for when it comes to fighting game controllers the more expensive the better. But anyways let me give you my reasons for these. For the Hori I've never used a pad better than this one, most fighting game controler pads stiff or very jankey and un accurate this however is made with a very sturdy but flexible d pad it actually feels better to when you broke it in and wore it out bit. Thing with this controller is that if you use this one and like it you won't need another controller again if you take care of it an not throw the damn thing lol. Now for the stick well it's not the best pretty crappy tbh because of the quality of the parts. However it does work how it's supposed to and its a pretty good stick for $50 if you're trying to learn stick or plan on getting an expensive one later but need a crappy one for now. Again if you get the stick you'd probably want to get a better one down the line.
Or Possibly this one:
If you want a fightpad, then Hori Fighting Commander: amazon link
Or you could get try grabbing the older model, Fighting commander 4: amazon link
I'd recommend the Hori Fighting Commander:
Here is my review for it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R23R0RUJTO36BY/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B01GVOFIAA
Works for PS4, PS3, and PC.
