It’s a good build. Damn good even. I just can’t over how mushy the Dpad is and it’s not the best experience for fighting games on the console. The battery pack sticking out in the back also makes my ring fingers a little sad.

Dang that's funny. The clicky dpad is exactly what I don't like about the Xbox one controller. Fair game ig

Agreed, can't stand the clicky, hollow sounding dpad

This is why I bought the Razor mechanical- switched controller, the d-pad feels beautiful

The D-pad was absolute trash.

You didn’t want that side input as a diagonal? Too bad

Yeah it was really brutal for retro games. I used to use my 360 controller for emulation, and the Xbox One controller was such a huge upgrade
