In addition to the Atrox, I'm planning to use this Hori Fighting Commander 4 while I'm MKX gaming with my gaming laptop.

Hori Fighting Commander 4. With 3 different position switches that works with PS3, PS4 and PC.
First of all, the directional pad feels HEAVENLY! Brings back the feeling of using the directional pad on the first PSX/PS1, which is godly when it comes to fighting games moves execution. One end of the pad is longer to accommodate playing fighting games with the pad like using it ala fight stick, with your fingers tapping it like so like on fight stick while the other hand curls around that elongated end to secure it. Another trick up its sleeve is that the directional pad itself can be set free to rotate up to 20 degrees off north position to facilitate a more comfortable thumb rest and execution with varying different sizes of thumbs.
I wish it'd be Double FXP or Double XP rather than Double Koin, that'll be more useful. Maybe the konsole folks need it more than the PC guys. Or those who got in late after they nerfed the Koin drop after kompletion of towers.
Just need 5 more levels to go before I komplete all Level 50 on all Factions. After that, gonna lay low until they fix the online netkode.

Unlocked the Dragon King set. Unlocked the "No Loyalty" achievement. Level 50 all Factions. Dragon King Profile Kard set now gives maximum Koins per win, which makes it kinda redundant now for that Double Koin weekend.
1. TOMORROW, the PC patch version will finally come to parity with the PS4 and XB1 patch version.
2. TOMORROW, Jason Voorhees will be made available to those who have preordered the Kombat Pack, along with the Horror Pack skins for Pharaoh Ermac, Vampiress Mileena and Kraken Reptile.
3. TOMORROW, Jason's own Living Tower begins!
4. TOMORROW, as the result of point #1, online experience will see significant improvement after that patch parity comes live for PC Steam version together with netkode improvement.
5. TOMORROW, the Android version of the Mortal Kombat X Mobile version will be available, FINALLY, on the Google Play Store!
They also shown a sneak peek of Predator when the Kombat Kast suddenly "glitches" and shows Predator in his full glory in the Training Room.
TOMORROW, is gonna be a great day!

Patch is up on Steam. Early word on Reddit stating that it works this time. The listed items I've posted on previous Patch Notes we're included and most importantly, does not devour save data.
Diving in now and updating. I need my laptop updated before leaving for Melbourne today. If anything goes wrong, I've the Steam backups on external hard drive to save the day.
I can confirm that: I still have my save data (and all my unlocked skins), player level numbers maintained, front page screen animates, Jason Voorhees unlocked and playable(!), and character walk-away animation is included, just like the console version! Diving into online match once I finish Jason with my Kitana.
If they fixed the online with this patch, this will be the first time I wont be cursing at them after a long time. Gonna put it through its paces now.

Okay, online still sucks. Cant manage to complete a match without the game telling me the match is no longer available.
Jason works beautifully though. The PC version has came to parity with the update the console has 2 weeks ago. The console version now has fully animated front page screen (console version showing animated "Coming Soon" character profiles of Tanya, Tremor, Predator and Jason, as well as Jason Living Tower), all the other 3 Kombatants of Kombat Pack (Tanya, Tremor and Predator) selectable on the character select screen, although darkened. *PC version isnt even selectable*.
