I do not know what the industry wide obsession is with connected D-pads, but my chunky thumbs do not appreciate it.
And with that in mind, the Playstation style of controllers are the closest thing to my ideal controller currently on the market.
Also, I prefer thumbstick under D-pad just in case I need to hit one of those buttons regularly I have a few options.
Yea, the pro2 is PlayStation shaped. I actuslyl prefer it.
What is the pro2 you're referring to here?
My 8bitdo controller, the pro2 has inline sticks
Yeah, I just wish they'd split the directionals.
What do you mean "split the directionals" you mean staggered sticks?
The directional pad is four separate buttons. Up down left right. I want them to be like the c buttons on the Nintendo 64 controller. Separate.
What ends up happening with me is that I'll press down but not squarely down. There is a good chance I'll press partially to the left or right while using smaller d pads. This causes extra inputs I didn't intend to do happen. The ds made playing tetris much harder on me than it should have for me.
Why?
The point of a dpad is that you can roll it
Edited to clarify. And you can roll separated buttons just as easily.. I know because I'd do it a lot on the psp with dj max.
Oh, yes, Sony have a good split pad, joycons have it but bad
