This is the very first time a Nintendo controller has ever even remotely let me down with a D-pad in my life. Even the tiny GC D-pad was better than this piece of hard plastic.
I bought my Switch 2 weeks ago alongside Zelda and a Pro Controller. It's brand new and since day one I've encountered it completely registers the wrong input.
I'll be fighting, a weapon breaks, I push RIGHT to change weapon and the Rune selection screen (i.e. the UP button) appears instead. I'll look down on the controller and my finger is firmly planted on the right directional button of the Dpad. And this happens very fucking often with every direction I push.
Before anyone tells me let me get this out of the way: I'm 31 years old. I've been playing videoganes since the NES and I've owned every single Nintendo home console since then. I owned a WiiU Pro Controller and I didnt have this problem either! I've used D-pad before and the only first party controller I've ever encountered a problem similar to this was with the 360's dreadful one. Never on any Playstation console and certainly not on any Nintendo pad ever before.
I used to say the made the best D-pads always but in between the joycons not even featuring a proper D-pad and the Switch Pro featuring such a stiff and hard edged piece of plastic that registers the incorrect inputs all that there is to say is that Sony has long since taken their title of the best D-pad ever which sits somewhere between the Vita's and the PS4's.
What happened?
