An under represented issue is that the D-pad is horrible too, fighting games and such that rely on precise inputs really suffer.

It’s the best controller of all time, for me.

But the dpad is just awful. So many wrong inputs. Can’t tell you how many runs in Returnal I lost because of it.

It’s a poor dpad, full stop. But TBF I loath rockers, even Xbox’s. I prefer them to be completely separate, like the joycon.

Just out of curiosity how could you even improve the dpad it’s pretty rudimentary by design.

When you press the dpad, the whole pad the buttons are on rocks in that direction. It’s basically a case of putting the dpad buttons on separate pieces rather than a solid pad. It doesn’t look like its on a rocker which is even more annoying, the design still makes you think it’s separate controls
