Are there any good dual analog 6-face button controllers for PC?

[Cyber Akuma]

I live in the US, and am hoping I can find a controller like this that does not cost a fortune.

I basically just want an Xbox360/One/Series-like controller with 6 face buttons instead of 4. As in one that still has all the features of such Xbox controllers like having two analog sticks and four shoulder buttons with the back two being analog. All the ones I have been able to find either have one analog stick, no analog sticks, only two shoulder buttons, or four shoulder buttons but the rear two are not analog. I don't care if the 5th and 6th face buttons are just a second mapping of two of the shoulder buttons instead of their own additional buttons, I just don't want it to have any less functions than even the Xbox360 controllers had from nearly 20 years ago. Basically, if you took an Xbox360 wired controller, and added an C and Z button to it, that would be exactly what I am looking for, but I can't find anything as simple as that, I don't even care if the C and Z buttons are not their own discrete buttons but are just a second way to press the RB and LB buttons. Does anybody make a controller like this?

It doesn't have to be wireless, in fact, I would prefer wired, or a wireless controller that can still be used wired by plugging it in... again, like Xbox controllers can.

Why not get an Elite 2 or the cheap versions with the programmables below? I don't know if you'll find anything else to what you're describing

I've never seen such a contraption. Perhaps you should consider having two controllers, one for 6-button fighting games and another for other types of games.

Closest thing is the old Steam Controller, where you can map trackpad presses to button presses, but you'd have to learn to use one trackpad instead of a stick. (Or the Gamesir G5 which has the same problem and wasn't designed for Steam, so probably works a lot worse.)

Even if I went the two controller route, I would still need one that at least has an analog stick and shoulder buttons.

Barring the video Ugafan just provided, the closest thing I ever knew about is the Horipad EX2 Turbo for the xbox 360, but since it was an xbox 360 controller it has long since been discontinued, and vintage hori controllers don't go cheap 'cause they're often quality niche products from a small name Japanese brand. The most functional six button controller I've seen on the market is the one retrobit makes[www.amazon.com], but I think that one doesn't have analogue triggers and I think there are Q.C. issues. It's also a symmetrical stick controller.

I think the reason this isn’t done more often is because the extra face buttons go where the stick would normally go. The original xbox controller had six face buttons, but they were in vertical arrangement like the one Ugafan linked, rather than horizontal like the saturn controller.

Been hearing about that, is some random Chinese controller actually good though? I hear random people say it's great and others it's trash. Doesn't help that it seems supply comes form Aliexpress or Banggood, sites like Amazon appear to just be selling it from there at an inflated price.

Weren't all wired Xbox360 controllers compatible with PC though? Sucks to see that was discontinued.

Yeah, it's triggers are not analog. The sticks are also terrible. There was a prototype version shown that had bigger sticks and looked much better in concept, but then the final product came out like this.

More of an all-in-one controller to play modern games, fighters, and emulated games for the N64 and Saturn/Genesis as well as Nintendo and Sony systems.
