Ooh my Xbox one controller started joystick drifting. Got a 8bitdo instead
8bitdo are fantastic. I have a whole bunch of different devices from them
I have one of their SNES style pads, SN30 Pro I think, I'd absolutely love it for retro gaming if the D-Pad wasn't so scuffed right out of the box. It's way too stiff with edges that aren't rounded enough, so my thumb always starts hurting and getting tired from how hard I have to push down on it. It also doesn't do diagonals well. I played Earthbound for like 2 hours before I realized you could move diagonally.
Been meaning to take it apart, see if I can soften the rubber under the D-Pad somehow, just need to get the right screwdriver first, maybe just an iFixit kit finally.
