I'm getting back into fighting games! And I don't want to wear out my gamepads or joycons, so can you recommend a good control stick?

A few criteria:

  • Wireless would be ideal
  • Compatible with PC mainly, but Switch and Playstation would be excellent too.
  • I'm mainly into BlazBlue and Injustice right now, not sure if that would affect my choices.

I can't think of any wireless sticks off the top of my head other than 8Bitdo's offering. They're generally not legal at tournaments.

Personally, I like just about anything from Hori. I like their Fighting Edge stick a great deal. It doesn't seem to be in production anymore, unfortunately. I've since modified mine pretty extensively but I liked it a lot right out of the box.

I have a Qanba Obsidian that I use whenever I play games on my computer. Again, it's out of production but Qanba now offers the Obsidian 2.

They're two of my favorite sticks and I own a lot.

The 8BitDo stick has been pleasant to use, and is compatible with a ton of systems. Why is it banned at tournaments? Wireless? Or something else non-standard about it?

Wireless. While players should be unpairing any controllers prior to their matches, sometimes they don't and a third party can wirelessly interfere (intentionally or not) with a match.

That makes sense, thanks!
