Nintendo - 3DS Analog Stick - View Post

The 3DS Slider Pad is great. I just love the feel and responsivness of the slider. It probably would be in the running for my favorite slider pad/analog stick of all time if not for the one problem it has. You can't hold it in one direction for too long without your finger slipping off. There are not many games that require you to hold the pad in one direction long enough for your finger to slip off; however, the one game that gave me porblems was The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. When running through Hyrule Field in one linear direction I kept having to readjust my thumb. Not that big of a deal, but if you're trying to do the horse race in TLOZ:OOT and need to readjust, then you're screwed. If you lift your finger off that pad for 1 second then your horse reduces it's speed significantly. That's the only game that gave me a little trouble. Overall I love the pad (much better than the Vita's midget analog sticks).
