Which controller would be the best choice for MK on PC?

And it seems I've even found one with almost the same dpad as ps controllers:

Gioteck vx1

This one is very cheap and looks great imo, but many people seem to have complaints about the build quality. I'm really in dilemma between hori and this one:confused:

Last I checked, the Hori FC3P doesn't work well with MK9 on PC, some directions on the dpad don't respond for some reasons, not sure if the recent updates fixed that.

Avoid the Hori Gem if you have bigger hands. It's a really tiny controller.

Just get an Xbone/PS4/Wii U Pro controller. They all have PC compatibility.

My FC3P works flawlessly with PC MK9.

How is this viable for you? Keyboards have known issues of key blocking, where if you press two keys it blocks pressing certain other ones at the same time.
I've never had any issues. It's all about training your hands differently than you would with a controller.

Well I guess it depends on what keys you setup, but I've never had an issue. And I don't like to brag or anything but I've definitely leveled up since using keyboard. It's essentially the same as a Hitbox, as long as your fingers know what they're doing, you'll never drop inputs.

I think it depends on the specific keyboard and how the matrix is setup; it varies from model to model according to my research. Not saying to avoid the keyboard, just to be aware of the issue. I agree that it can be really good b/c it is similar to a hitbox.

Yes it absolutely depends on the keyboard.

Some keyboards will block after 3 or 4 concurrent key presses while high quality mechanical keyboards feature N-Key rollover, allowing the keyboard to register as many keys simultaneously as you can press.

If you want to use a keyboard you should probably have something better than that $15 dell keyboard.
