I too am a Saturn convert. I've never had a dpad feel so good since... also so many dpads are just straight not made well. Looking at you steam deck, why is up-left so hard for you?!Saturn dpad has been my perennial favorite

More like ketchup vs actual pizza sauce made from actual tomatoes, pepeprs, basil and garlic. But yeah I persoanlly prefer my bottle of Heinz ketchup, that I was sucking on since I was a toddler. Heinz design was a revolution in the fast food world, especially for bunchuping (practise of eating burger buns with only ketchup). Most people don't need anything that tastes any good, the red goo is good enough as long as it's loaded with sugar. Actual sauce is only good for gourme tournaments and people with professional palates, but even amongst them there exist those who prefer ketchup, since over long years of practice they conditioned their saliva to decompose ketchup into atomic particles then quickly recompose it into their favorite sauce before it hits their tastebuds, and that process makes actual sauce taste slightly off when they try it.Different sauce for different meals, jah?
the advent of 3d gaming slowly but surely killed good d-pad design in modern pads, they can't be bothered to make something good if modern mainstream games barely use it, and never require any precise input with it. The Dualsense is a downgrade from the dualshock 3 and just look how shit the Switch's pro controller is.I too am a Saturn convert.

Yeah, that trustmaster thing seems like snake oil to me.New challenger appears! OMG the dpad module alone cost almost as much as a whole ass 8bitdo Neo Geo pad xD I can't find any pictures of the insides, but if it's the *UT2004 annauncer voice* METAL DOMES, then it's definitely not worth it. If it's actual microswitches, then... still not worth it, but at least unique. Now my question is why don't they make a module for their modular controller with the Pocket Color's stick? Then I would at least envy people who can affort that thing.
uh, wonder why he got nukedRip Bobobo
oh nooo, what's wrong with em? I almost ordered one the other day, will have to do more research...Too bad that 8bitdo is a far cry from 90s SNK and released a pale, barely functional imitation of the Neo Geo CD pad while claiming it was 100% accurate
The throw on the pad is way too long, so to hit the gate/switch you need to tilt it much further than the originaloh nooo, what's wrong with em? I almost ordered one the other day, will have to do more research...
I know what you mean, that beast would be the perfect emulation controller, you would be able to map even the weird N64 layout almost perfectly.saturn is best, i dream of a hybrid saturn/dualshock2 controller
Ah well, that's a shame, but maybe it'll still be better than a dpad for an absolute noobster like me. I'm also not averse to modding it.The throw on the pad is way too long, so to hit the gate/switch you need to tilt it much further than the original
That's an interesting point, but they did advertise it as being 1:1 replica.I can also see how some detached engineer in some remote lab might have arrived at that with some excuses like longevity
I did purchase it though and I criticize 8bitdo's products in the hopes of them improving as an hardware manufacturer, which is something the company's really needs to do.be snobs and trash em for minor issues like that - and well get SNK ROFL at us with neo geo mini pads selling better than 8bitdo.
To the point of showing the internals in their advertising which means they couldn't make athey did advertise it as being 1:1 replica
or something else that might have made more sense to replicate the same feel while also being easier and cheaper to make. As such they did a really good job from what I can gather to the point that all you need is slightly stronger springs to bring it to the feel of the original, I don't think that's a manufacturing quality issue, more like a "bad" R&D decision. Criticize by all means, but gotta be a bit more realistic, it wasn't a crowdfunding campaign, they did all of that at a cost in hopes to make profit, beyond of just satisfying the 3 of us who know what the original felt like.version, which actually has the microswitches
True enough, perhaps I should mod it but honestly, I've always preferred the neo geo stick over the cd pad, so I'd rather use my arcade stick (which I use for everything that's doesn't use analog input)As such they did a really good job from what I can gather to the point that all you need is slightly stronger springs to bring it to the feel of the original, I don't think that's a manufacturing quality issue, more like a "bad" R&D decision.
