For me it's the ASCII Pad V3. Amazing d-pad.

I primarily made this thread for posting stuff like ASCII and Hori which were usually licensed and added extra features to the original controllers while retaining the quality. Oftentimes they even used OEM parts from the stock controllers. Madcatz for example only had being cheap as an appeal at the cost of everything else.

I ended up preferring this to the stock 3 button Mega Drive controller. Once I got a 6 button controller for Street Fighter 2 though that became my main controller.

I never had an N64 but I knew someone who had this controller which I preferred over the regular controller.

I honestly wonder why Nintendo didn't go with a design like this. It was reasonable and even allowed for 6-button fighters.

>>7499875
When the controller was designed there hadn't been a successful console with an analog stick, so they wanted to place it in a way where it could be ignored and used just like a regular d-pad controller if it ended up flopping.

If the dpad is 100% identical to it's ps1 predictor, I can't say I agree. The dpad was okish, but far from amazing.

The dpad on that thing was pure trash, using the snes button layout was a mistake too. Still better than the turbo touch 360 controllers tho. No dpad can ever suck that hard.

sorry. madcatz just traumatized be regarding all non-standard controllers. everytime I went to my friends I got a madcatz and that's why they beat me
