Just had to RMA a Mad Catz Street Fighter IV fightpad because it arrived from Amazon with something broken off and rattling around inside like your grandma's Thanksgiving Day gourd from the 1950s. My sister bought the exact same one at the same time (the Street Fighter IV Bundle for PC which includes the game & the fightpad) and hers didn't work either. My question is this: is there a reasonable (and reasonably priced, say $50-$75 USD) alternative? Prefer the gamepad to a stick, and I definitely want something with the same form factor as the Mad Catz (which in turn is borrowed from the Sega 16-bit/32-bit controllers) with a high quality d-pad & six buttons on the front, and USB. Or am I just a dreamer in an ivory tower here to want so much for so little?
Yeah, I know I can buy one of those cheap Chinese Sega-clone 6-button knock-offs for like $15 bucks but I would prefer that it last longer than a bag of Doritos and can survive a drop from a height of 12" onto a carpeted floor. Or maybe I should just keep RMAing the fightpad until I get a good one? I don't know. I'll be using it for all my emulation needs that don't require analog sticks by the way. My wonderful Xbox 360 Controller just doesn't cut it for arcade type games because that damn D-pad makes my poor thumb feel like it's been goosing one of the Stone Men from Game Of Thrones for hours after only a few minutes. I want something...floaty. What do y'all use here?
