Alright, before I get chewed out, I want to mention that the Hori Pad for 360 is way too hard to find and where it can be found it costs too much, and my little brother has no desire for me to mod his controllers (his system).
So I just want some suggestions on some good 3rd party controllers with a good D-Pad I can use for fighting games as well as stuff like Megaman 9, etc…
You should probably ask in the tech forum about controller info. I myself dont know much about good pads for the 360 since I just use a stick or the default pad it comes with.
