Forums - Nintendo Discussion - DS lite D pad

I have a DS Phat & i really like the D pad.  The D pad on gamecube however is terrible.  I'm thinking of getting a DS lite and i heard the D pad is smaller than the Phat.  What do u guys think, is it a hinderance?  Is it at least better than the gamecubes?

The DS Lite has a better D-Pad than the GC. It's bigger.

The solid Black and White DS's are fine. But from what I understand and how it felt to me, the cobalt and black and also the crimson black have a funny feeling d-pad that doesn't seem to work well for everyone.

....I liked the GCN's D-pad...



The thing with the Gamecube's D-pad is that it doesn't rest your thumb flush against the surface, and has an indent. I got used to that, and learned not to press too hard, but it's fine with other Nintendo D-pads that don't have an indent.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

The lite's D pad took me a while to get =/



DS phat D-Pad works fine... but it isn't comfortable.
GCN D-pad feels stiffer.
