To all my fellow pad players...why arent there any T.E PADS?

If they were to make new Saturn pads, I hope that they do not include the analog sticks, I never use them for fighting games, they’ll only stand in the way.

I don’t give a crap if it’s licensed by Jesus Christ it looks like shit.

They probably have no interest in making these since it’d require them to engineer all of the parts. They can’t just take what is currently the standard and build a box for it.

And like said above, the pads just aren’t big sellers. Why make more of them, and more expensive ones at that?

Try the PDP pad Fanatiq is shilling.

to me the PDP fight pad is a Piece of excrement

To me the last good pads were the Mk II Sega Saturn Pad and the Nintendo SNES pad
a Digital PS1 pad is a distant 4th

I like the design of this PS3 pad

The quality is crap tho, wonder if I can replace the d-pad with the Snes’ ?

Why not just use a Wii Classic pad with a USB converter?

Wait! There’s a USB converter that allows you to use a Wii Classic Pad on the PS3? Didn’t know that.

Mayflash converter 10 dollars on amazon.

[LEFT]OK over the years i have bought numerous mad catz pads. When i found out they were coming out with a 6 button layout pad with an improved d pad that was better than the xbox 360s i was very excited, and have been using them ever since. But over the years and about 6 or 7 pads later Ive noticed they are made very cheaply and seem like they aren’t built to last like the arcade sticks that they put out. Ive had to switch out mother boards from other pads because the d pad gives out over time and cannot be swapped out like joysticks can on arcade sticks.I just don’t understand why mad catz can’t release a more upscale line of pads for serious pad players like they do for stick players like the T.E stick with interchangeable parts that can be replaced when they give out. I’ll admit the pads get better each time, but still there are a few things that can be made alot better. I’m planning on doing a more in depth review for all three pads coming soon, for the original round one ssf4 mad catz fight pads, round 2 ssf4 pads and the new street fighter x tekken pads as well. Please let me know your feedback on your experience with all of the mad catz fight pads[/LEFT]

Thanks guys

The main issue is having reasonable sized micro switches that aren’t total crap. PDP had the right idea, but their execution was pretty terrible from what I’ve heard.

I too would very much like to see a TE style controller.

I mostly use stick, sometimes a HitBox and every once in a while will bust out a game pad.

The Saturn controller is king, but I do like the old MadCatz SF pads, the “new” Microsoft controller with the “pop-out” D-pad feels very solid, and I’ve honestly had zero negative issues with my 14.99 PDP fightpad. I very much like the original PS1 controller using that white etokki converter.

Next on my list to try are some of the Hori offerings, and the MadCatz MLG controller as soon as they put up the optional face plate covers.

The Razer Onza was a HUGE disappointment for me as my first one’s “A” button was broken out of the box.

I would be all for a MadCatz premium TE fight controller!
