Want a 360 controller w/ better d-pad

[PapaStu]

Really? that sucks. I wonder why it would to that.

Beats me, as I know it was not the cable or batteries (used cables and batteries I know worked from other controllers of mine). Something was up with the charge port itself. I know i'll end up getting another one at some point, as i'm down to one controller right now.

I've got a SF IV pad and bought it because I know the d-pad is an a++ one. I'm just hoping that the silver controller one is a decent enough step up from the shitty one the controllers currently have.

I've read that the mechanism for the d-pad was unchanged with this revision (It's just a physical alteration of the d-pad itself). For someone that hates the standard d-pad on a standard 360 controller, I really don't see this solving anything. The problems extended far beyond the actual feel of the d-pad and involved the actual mechanism that they were using.

I stick with my SFIV pad for things like Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, even though the artwork is unattractive and it's wired (Wish it had generic artwork and was wireless like the PS3 version).
