TalkBack / Re: The Switch Pro Controller's D-Pad Dysfunction
« on: June 08, 2017, 06:04:44 AM »
Yup, I have the same issue. I even went and exchanged my pro controller for a different one at the store, but the new controller has the same issue.
The d-pad on the pro controller has no central fulcrum for the d-pad to rock on. You can push the whole dpad in like a giant button. The older wiiU pro controller may look similar but it does not have this problem. When you push the wiiU pro controller dpad inward at the centre, you can feel the pivot in the middle of it.
Playing charge characters like guile in street fighter 2 is a nightmare on the dpad. Holding left then quickly rocking your thumb to the right to do a sonic boom, more often than not pushes the dpad in, and gives you an accidental up input. I really have to baby the dpad inputs unlike any other dpad I've used before.
I've been playing street fighter on pad and sticks for over 20 years and I have never had this kind of problem. I'm currently ranked 3rd in the world with deejay on usf2, but it actually feels like my biggest opponent is the fricken controller.
Really disappointing because everything else about the switch pro controller is fantastic.
