> I use, and have always used, a 360 controller. Works great.
I disagree, the D-Pad on the 360 controller is terribly imprecise. It's way to easy to hit a diagonal when you want to go straight in an 8-way game, and for 4-way games it's even worse because you get stuck when that happens.
Try playing Burgertime, Pac Man or Mr. Driller, any 4-way joystick game. I have two 360 controllers, an early and a late model, and the D-Pad is useless on both as far as I'm concerned. Useless as in throw-the-controller-at-the-wall useless.
It's not just me, there's a mod that involves cutting out and inserting a thin plastic disc between the D-Pad and the contacts underneath that's supposed to improve it. I tried but I couldn't get it right.
The D-pad seems like an afterthought. It's fine for modern games where it's mostly used for inventory or weapon selection but I would never recommend it for anything else.
