hi guys. i was hoping one of you hardware-savvy types might direct me to a high quality 360 controller with an excellent d-pad. for reference, back in the original xbox days, i preferred the large controller that came with the console when it launched, aka "the duke."
actually doa is the only fighting game i play on pad - i tried relearning it on stick and it just didn't compute. as far as third party pads go, i bought some madcatz pads and they broke after one play session each. anyone have experience with the hori pad ex/ex2? they look good on paper, but if the d-pad doesn't work well then all the fancy accoutrements are for naught!
thanks for the feedbackThe buttons on the Hori EX are terrible and the d-pad, while accurate, felt "mushy." I'm not sure if they amended anything on the EX2.
hey rikuto! yeah the ex looked cool, but i guess the d-pad is subpar. that's a shame. maybe someone here has used the ex2? and what is the silver twist pad?
my thumbs are large and manly, that's for certain. are the d-pad inputs better on the silver pad or the ex?
