Message: [QUOTE="kanesha, post: 66701, member: 130134"] I tried the 8bitdo, and I can totally see how it can be a disappointment to a fan of the original, and I might have been pissed at it too if I didn't get the advance warning, but at the same time I can also see how some detached engineer in some remote lab might have arrived at that with some excuses like longevity (the switch clicks near the end of travel of the stick while the original you can press further after the click for quite a bit and I imagine that would wear the switches faster) or noob friendliness (I would sometimes accidentally hit diagonals with the crisper orignial, while it's pretty much impossible with 8bitdo, kind of like a bike with training wheels) combined with limitation of having to stick to the original design too closely due to the way it was marketed. It doesn't hinder me at all at my skill level, while pretty much any dpad would, so I'm happy with it, and wouldn't call it "a pale, barely functional imitation", and gotta commend 8bitdo proving everyone who says it's too expensive to make wrong. Shower em with money and praize and we'll probably eventually get something as good or even better than the original, 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.
