So the Dpad is complete garbage on the Switch Pro controller, but I want to use it for more games.
My question is, when I take this thing apart, and turn the Dpad over, what does the bottom look like? Can I fit it with the ball bearing from a Genesis Dpad so that it physically cannot register the wrong direction? Is there anything under the Dpad, such as active PCB that would be messed up by a metal ball sitting there?
Im not near my pro controller or my tools or I would look for myself.
dpad is amazing

Have you really had that much of a problem? I played through Shovel Knight and all the DLC with the pro controller and found the d-pad to be pretty great...Do you have sausage fingers anon?

I've read somewhere that someone changed it wuth a WiiU pro one but dunno about the genesis.I'll watch this thread since mine is fucked up too

I had a lot of issues with my dpad on my Wii u pad and pro controller, both recognize right or left button presses as down or up all the time
>>385233074
Its honestly one of the worst Dpads I have ever seen. I do not have sausages.

the dpad misregisters for a lot of people You get phantom left and right presses when pressing up and down. It is a hardware problem
>werks for me :)
>literally a hardware problem
people will say anything to defend it

This must mean it can never happen to anyone else. My Xbox never red ringed.

this, tbqh
I recently got to try one of these out and whoever is honest-to-God defending the D-Pad on this is grade-A delusional. This shit is FAR from acceptable. Everything else about the controller feels amazing but it feels like Nintendo either gimped the D-Pad intentionally to create a misguided sense of parity with the Joycon D-buttons, or they hastily tested it with BOTW and found that the D-Pad served that game's limited use of it.
It's mind-boggling that Nintendo cannot ship a controller with even a DECENT D-Pad for their system. The fucking """preminum""" controller has a D-Pad so bad I'd honestly would settle for the D-Pad on the Gamecube controller than what we got.
