Those things have too much range of motion.

Now one thing I would like to see is a microswitch d-pad. I think that ought to be possible.

>triggers on thumb

>>5218540
Xbone controllers have a microswitched dpad I believe

>>5218546
Hm...

Maybe. They don't really feel like a microswitch button but they do have a certain "click" to them.

>>5218545
I see triggers in the usual spaces

>>5218545
>This triggers the thumb

>>5218546
They are dome switches.

>>5218525
I had one for ps2 I couldnt get the hang of it.

>>5218678
>>5218546
I like the d-pad but it is awkward to use for long periods of time because of where on the controller it is situated.

>>5218545
>Whay are fighting games??
Fucking retard, KYS now

>>5218909
>phoneposting
looks like hitler missed one

>>5218909
fughting games need you to use the triggers with your thumbs?

>>5218546
The dpad on them is terrible though. It's better than the original 360 pad but it's still quite shit.

>>5218525
Clicky thumb sticks is very hard to make

>>5218525
Is this the most pointless thread ever reposted? Why does this ape keep posting.

>>5218525
cool but neocd pads need constant maintenance because of the fine dust they make.
>>5219247
as demonstrated by benheck

>>5218525
cost probably

>>5219283
The original Neo CD pads were notorious for this, but IIRC, that was fixed with the PS2 models.

>>5218525
I have one of these, I like using it for arcade games but that's about it since it lacks precision

I played Sonic Mania on my xbone and it felt all right to me.

I'd be surprised if anyone could do attacks like these on something with such a wide range of motion.

>>5219334
ps2 have exactly the same mechanism, the only difference being the microswitches are in a more standard form factor, unlike NeoCD ones.

this pad actually used µswitches for the dpad.
it used the ones for mouse buttons

>>5218940
It's just retards thinking 6 face buttons are better because "muh arcades". In reality, it's shit because you're only using your thumb, instead of your index, middle, and ring fingers.

>>5220018
You're not

>>5220018
>It's just retards thinking 6 face buttons are better because "muh arcades".
I like 6 face buttons because it allows me to access more buttons with my right hand.

>>5220043
He is. There are only a handful of aspie tards who try to use it like it's a mine arcade panel.

>>5220018
>>5221139
6-button fighting games are always better with all 6 laid out in two rows. And yes, depending on the game, it is viable to use your fingers instead of thumb.

>>5222143
Get a load of this kid

>>5220045
I like it for arcades l. You can use 2-3 fingers easily. On a controller my thumb is not fast enough to jump between bottom left to top right. You have to use a weird grip to make use of all the buttons.

>You have to use a weird grip to make use of all the buttons.
I just place my thumb across the middle buttons so I can easily access the left or right buttons as well. I don't pick up my thumb and place it all the way on top of the other buttons, either, I mainly rock my thumb to the sides or half-move it so I can reset back to neutral position most easily. Pic related is how I place my thumb, it's centered on top of the Y and B buttons there and you can see how it's already overlapping onto the other buttons which makes pressing them with the side of my thumb pretty easy.

Not to mention that most 6-button games don't use every button evenly all the time. A good example is Street Fighter: You're mainly using the center and left buttons for your medium and light attacks, and the heavy attacks on the right are used more sparingly and situationally so you're not constantly going between pressing light and hard all the time or anything.

>>5218525
Obviously SegaSaturn controller. It's the best for retro games.

>>5222695
>circular d-pad
No, thank you. I'll never understand the love for that piece of shit controller.

>>5218525
I got some ps3 fight pad with microswitches, I can't remember the name.

>>5218525
>is this the newest kid evar?

>>5222682
Hey, someone else who has the XB1 version of the Fighting Commander.

>>5222720

It's the easiest to roll for a hadouken.

I think the XBOne Elite controller has micro switches for it's pad. It comes with drop in pad styles to hit them from the traditional cross shaped to a more rounded style.

Also SCUF has a new PS4 controller that has an Xbox like layout for the sticks...I think it has switches too for it's dpad

>>5223290
>I think
You're not fooling anyone. 18+

>>5222682
I remember playing Herc's Adventures on the Saturn and run was bottom left and jump was top right or something. It was a pain to run and jump from A to pressing Z, I did just hold my thumb over A and use the side of my index finger to press Z and C, but it is not comfortable for extended periods of time.

>>5218525
i have one of these. with a ps2->4 adapter. one of the best fosho

Really wish someone would take the clicky xbox one controllor dpad and put it on a snes shaped controller.

>>5218525
Still needs to have two analog sticks to be king.

>>5219060
No. That dpad is by far the best any company has shit out. Try and use one.

>>5223568
Well that sounds like a poorly designed game, then. No game I've played has had that issue.

>>5223261
You say that as if quarter circles are by any means difficult on a regular d-pad.

>>5223781
You will immediately case and desist

>>5223781
To play 64 and Saturn games? You have no hope of emuating those systems properly, so you should be playing them on actual hardware. OP and the Hori fight commander are the perfect catch-all for all pre-analog layouts.

>>5223781
Legit retarded

>>5219693

And this is the controller i bought for neo rage x many, many moons ago. It was a total worthless piece of shit.

>>5220018

Yeah... fuck off Sony faggit.
