Hi I am planning to buy a controller with a good d pad. I have been eyeing these two gamesir g7 and t4 cyclone but don’t know their platforming performance. Cheers

good d pad

D-pads are the one aspect of a controller that I wouldn’t worry about much. I’ve only ever had one controller that had a D-pad that I wasn’t happy with, a Logitech in the mid-1990s that had a screw-in mini joystick on the D-pad. That rolled to the diagonal too easily.

thinks

Maybe the old NES controllers, which had a relatively-hard, non-rounded D-pad and could be tough on the fingers for long sessions.

I guess one could prefer the PlayStation-style or XBox-style D-pad position, though I’ve never had issue with either.

Do you have something in particular that you’re concerned about regarding D-pads? I’d expect pretty much anything out there to be fine, myself.

  A decent example of a bad d-pad would be the Switch Pro Controller. Unless they’ve fixed it in a later revision, the controller has an issue with outputting diagonals when they aren’t intended.

If you’re looking for something inexpensive and aren’t picky about the size of the analog stick dead zones, the Logitech F310 might be a good fit. Its D-pad works well in my experience.
