I need to try out this pringles lid mod, anything to make that mushy d-pad more responsive. xD
does anyone have this? usually cheap arcade sticks are not so good in terms of quality
I have one, which I bought purely because I needed a cheap PS3-compatible stick for Evo, since I don't have a PS3 and therefore nothing that will work on PS3 lol. Although I'm still relatively new to sticks (particularly various brands/parts/quality), I haven't had any issues while playing with it so far. The joystick is kinda loose, that doesn't seem to affect gameplay at all though.
Take that as you will. I'm not exactly bothered with the quality of this specific stick in the first place, so my feedback may be useless.
The odd thing, as well, is that right now I can't seem to map anything onto the trigger buttons. ... Another retarded thing with the XBox 360 controller is that the default driver has the right and left triggers on a single axis.
About the trigger buttons, that's MBAC's fault. It won't let you set anything on an axis as a button, and assumes the main stick and dpad are used for control without letting you set those individually. So as a result you can't set the triggers, since they're pressure-sensitive (on an axis; not actual buttons).
Also the axis problem has more to do with DirectInput vs XInput. The 360 pad is meant to be a DirectInput-compatible XInput controller, so
there's a reason the triggers are on the same axis. Ultimately it's up to the software whether to implement DirectInput or XInput. When using XInput the triggers will be seen as different "axises", while DirectInput sees them as shared. I doubt Halo 2/3 would have the axis problem, it's likely they run XInput. Anyway, new drivers won't "fix" this.
Hope I'm not coming off as rude, just trying to help. :3
