I think the two most well-made controllers out there are the x360 controller and the gamecube controller and both of them share the same flaw: abysmal dpads

I hear the xbox one controller is a lot better dpad-wise and otherwise similar to the 360 one but: expensive

@vantablack A little concerning as I like the heft of the 360 controller

@Felthry I feel like around that time the assumption was "games are 3D now", and you'd only reach over to the D-pad for optional extras like taunts in Smash Bros or extra move mappings in Tales Of

@Trinket I dunno if that was the reasoning behind the 360's dpad though, it just doesn't seem like it

@Felthry Huh, yeah, the 360 controller does have a much bigger D-pad with a more deliberate-looking design... Hmm.
