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.

FUCK SEPARATED D-PADS
I'm American and what is this.
>>3189778
its just 4 buttons close together, not a dpad
>>3189778
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?

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.
the saturn dpad is Real Good
>>3190952
I mean? You're just shitposting at this point.
I quite like the Saturn d-pad
