Dpad is a secondary part of gaming.  Sticks are now the primary movement outside of fighting games.  Anyways, it all comes down to preferences on which you prefer.

This, I just really, really don't know what I am doing in KI yet.  My friend was hating it - then he took a few tutorials and was, 'hey this is really fun.'  It's not a button masher if you aren't thinking about what you are mashing.

Plus he accidently put it on 'Kyle' level, the most difficult level.

I like my controllers to be symmetrical.

I dont like the fact that one stick is high and the other is low. Its strange. I would have this complaint about any controller with this design.

I have issues with both also.

The D-pad is sunk in to the controller too much. Feels like your thumb fell into a ditch. Makes it hard to move in motions sometimes. It's great for clicking in directions though.

My issue with the top bumpers are different. I've always used my pointer fingers for both the bumpers and triggers. Ever since the first PlayStation. The Xbox 360 pad had the perfect size and distance with how the bumpers and triggers were made. Now on the Xbox One, the triggers have gotten bigger and are further out than the bumpers. So when I try to press the bumpers now, it feels awkward with the way I placed my fingers on the other pad. Feels like my finger is coming out of it's socket. Over the weekend I managed to come up with a new way to hold the controller without hurting myself. Instead of using the tips of my fingers to press the triggers and bumpers, I position my pointer fingers to cup the bumpers first, so I'm pressing it with the inside of my pointer finger, instead of the tip. Then when I need to press the triggers, I slide it down and press that with the inside cup also.

The bumpers are the worst buttons aready created in a console controller... they are just terrible.

The D-pad for me is ok... not PS4, Vita or Wii U level but it works fine and better than 360's D-pad.

Verdict before touching the controller, I hope a remodeled version comes out because it seems like a downgrade from the 360 controller based on all I have heard.

The video about all that went into it made me feel like it would be perfect, their testers must suck......

@Too_Talls the controller is a step ahead 360's controller... it feels better on the hands, d-pad is better, triggers are better, everall it is better.

But the bumpers are bad, really bad.

I guess thats good, though as a cod player I use the bumpers more often than the d-pad. the 360's wonky d-pad never got to me, (well just a bit when I was in my fighting game phase)

Sense I've already goten bored of ghost killer instinct might be the main thing I play so until march when titan fall  drops it will be better. TF will probaably have mirror call of duty controls.........

Well I guess Xboxers have the same issue with DS4.

I like DS4 a lot better than DS3, but the D-pad and sticks are in the wrong positions. I hate the analog stick where it is on DS4. Also the buttons aren't clicky enough. Still to cushiony or springy. But overall much better from Sony.

No this is wrong.

The controller is better than 360. The triggers are alot better. The sticks way better and the D-pad very good. Also the face buttons arent to cushiony.

The LB and RB though will always feel odd to me. Its where they are on the controller that will never feel that natural. Same on DS4.
