Xbox 360 Street Fighter IV Round 2 FightPad - Guile

Well, The SF4 round 2 fightpad is almost exactly the same as the round 1 model. The only change is the artwork, obviously. The buttons feel responsive with the exception of the ones on the shoulders. I feel as if the shoulder buttons don't depress enough to give me the satisfaction of pressing a button, but they do make a clicking sound so it's acceptable. The rubber grips work well I suppose, my hands don't sweat at all even if I play for hrs. I personally think that the "turbo" button is too close to the "back" button, I used to hit it accidentally while trying to press back(until I opened up the controller and removed the turbo button lol). The D-Pad still has its huge size but I don't mind at all as moves come out easier. If I had to describe how it feels, I'd say its like the D-Pad was placed on the shaft of joystick. I have 2 MAJOR gripes with these controllers. 1. The plastic MC uses on the D-Pad is too slippery(coming from a man whose hands don't sweat during play). I modified...Read more

This controller is a great for those who no longer wish to deal with the inaccuracies of the xbox 360 controller at an affordable price. The D- Pad feels great, the Zangief design looks awesome, and the botton layout is intuitive. There is one caveat, however, the controller starts to hurt the thumbs after extended use.

I bought this controller because i absolutely hate the 360 controller for fighting games. I was looking for a gamepad with the hard plastic cross dpad, and i thought this looked close. well, it is certainly better than the official 360 pads, but it is not the dpad i am used to. i should have payed attention to the detail "floating dpad", because it rests atop a joystick of sorts. Don't get me wrong, it does work much better than the standard, but if you are like me and are looking for the tradional dpad, this simply feels different, a little "wiggly" like the standard analog. i am sure that it will be wonderful once i get used to it, but i felt i should specify this detail, as it somewhat bothers me. once again, much much better than standard, but it is still not quite like playing on saturn or dreamcast,or even playstation... 4 /5 stars
