What do you think of this revelation?

What is objectively the best D-pad style?
Cross (Nintendo Game and Watch)
Round (Mattel Intellivision)
Separated (Commodore CDTV)
Other (?)

With the separated style D-pad I never input diagonals accidently but when I do want them I have to press hard to get them.

Invented =/= innovated

I really wish underage& under obamacore wasn't so dumb.

Also Saturn.

Damnit, I wish I was able to buy a CDTV in the 90s, always wanted to grab one and I heard they were getting rid of the stock for 10-20 pounds a piece.

Now it costs 300 pounds for a complete unit.

As far as desktop CD players go, it was a damn sexy one.

Separated d-pads hurt my thumb and I hate it.

It's not the same thing since Sony owns a patent for their design.

First off, the PS1 d-pad is not separated, it's just underneath the body.

Second, it's a shitty design made to get around existing patents, and somehow ends up needing at least 2 axis of motion and with tons of friction from press to activation, which is why it feels so bad.

SNES D-pad.

But patents are over, why can't they do a normal D-Pad?
>>
>>3190874
It's an image for the PlayStation now.

XBox One controllers are direct copies of Nintendo DPads.

No they're not, where did you get this idea?

Do people literally think form=function all the time?
>>
>>3190906
It's a a cross dpad on a ball. Exactly like Nintendo.

How young are you?
>>
>>3190910

Except that's not what it is at all. And why are you calling someone "young". It's a current system. At least make your insults coherent.
