Best controller for emulation of games pre-dpad? Anonymous Wed Jun 27 01:15:41 2018 No.4864787 [Reply] [Original]

I'e been using an xbone usb controller but that d-pad gets OLD after a while. Is there something that's considered the standard that I'm missing?

I'm talking about the actual shape of the D-Pad that the player interacts with. That Sega pad posted has a plus-shaped D-Pad for your fingers to rest on. The Dualshock 3 does not have that, there is a crevice in the center that makes them feel more like individual buttons rather than a proper D-Pad. I'm not sure what's confusing about my statement. I mean if you like that I'm not going to crucify you but I can't stand it.

Had

This is why the x1 has the best dpad. They took what Nintendo was keeping to Nintendo, and then when their patent grip ended MS took the design and made it proper. A Nintendo dpad that clicks and is more accurate without shitty placement or feel like Sony, Sega or Nintendo.

Not to mention that since they're stylized into separate segments the PlayStation controllers all have poor neutral positioning meaning you can't just put your thumb on the center and rock it into the directions you want like you can for Nintendo or Sega controllers.
