At the moment I use my 8bitdo pro2. It was kinda expensive but its a huge upgrade from my no name switch controllers and awful gamesube one from powera.

Also, the 3ds had really good controls (we don't talk about the c stick)

What do you mean "split the directionals" you mean staggered sticks?

The directional pad is four separate buttons. Up down left right. I want them to be like the c buttons on the Nintendo 64 controller. Separate.

What ends up happening with me is that I'll press down but not squarely down. There is a good chance I'll press partially to the left or right while using smaller d pads. This causes extra inputs I didn't intend to do happen. The ds made playing tetris much harder on me than it should have for me.

Why?

The point of a dpad is that you can roll it

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Edited to clarify. And you can roll separated buttons just as easily.. I know because I'd do it a lot on the psp with dj max.

Oh, yes, Sony have a good split pad, joycons have it but bad
