I really dont know how people can say the DualShock is the best controller out there, do ye guys not get the blisters on your thumbs from the mushroom analog sticks??. Anyway they really need to remove the mushroom sticks imo and it would be a much better joypad.


Do you? O_o

I haven't had blisters on my fingers from a controller since the PS1 days of playing beat-em-ups on the D-Pad.

N64 controller was a bit rough on the thumb as well.

But yeah, I've actually never heard of that one before from a PS3 controller :P

Yes lol after about an hour of play it starts to happen. But if they removed the mushroom like top it wouldnt be a problem.

never happened to me even in 5+h gaming sessions on my PS3

Vita d-pad? I cant play wipeout for shit with that thing!! dunno why, guess because it takes a lot of time till it triggers!

you use the d-pad in a racer ? o.O


I have to ask... if you dont use the D-pad what do you use? The analog? Thats in incredibly unstable.

I always prefer to use the D-pad for precision, and cant be arsed getting steering wheels as its a waste of plastic that is gonna be useless for following consoles.

 

To be honest, the dual shock is the best controller out there. Maybe the analogs arent in the most ideal position, but given that comes at the cost of the incredible D-pad that is so good its even used on fighting game tournaments over arcade sticks i am perfectly fine with it.

The 360 controller has a serious problem with that D-pad beeing too small and in an akward position. I would rather microsoft improved their than have Sony go and copy it when they got something that is better overall.

I see people saying the dual shock D-pad is unconfotable, but there it is something that can be improved is to smooth the hard surface, but the advantage of the d-pad is precision you dont get anywhere else, and having it is paramount. There is absolutely no excuse to ruin what is the controllers best feature just cause some people cant realise how good it is.
