You're the first and only that has mentioned blistering.

I preferred ps dpad back in the day but I think the series x|s dpad could be the best yet.

I just actually have to play a fighter now. Perhaps I'll try to emulate some old ps1 and PS2 Street Fighter games. 

It might be just me, however in my youth i use to get blisters all the time on the SNES, N64 and PS1 due to longevity and how hardcore i was with the games, mainly fighters would cause my thumb to go red and blister. The corners on the Dpad would eventually wear into your thumb. Its why i prefer the Dish design as it helps eliminates this issue.

No, not just you. If my post came across as not believing you, it's actually the opposite. I had the same issues when I was younger with the ps1 and 2.
