The XBOX 360 Controller

[Mister Zero]

Who else has major issues with the 360's controller? I can't stand the D-pad for anything other than selecting items or weapons. It's utterly useless for anything else. It seems like if I hit anything it wants to input for Up!! I've went through every possible step to try and fix it a bit, with no luck. I've sanded the edge, placed something inside the controller to make up for empty space, I've even sanded the D-Pad itself. Nothing helps.

I'm even having trouble with the analog. It seems to work fine for 3-D games, looking around and all that, but for anything else it's touchy. I'm basically referring to Street Fighter IV. I can pull off Guile's Super move about 15% of the time, I have some trouble with charge characters because it seems like the analog wants to pick up other directions like the D-pad does.

Can anyone recommend a good third party controller aside from the sticks and fight pad for Street Fighter? I'd like a good one that has the same layout as the standard 360 controller.

I hate the 360 controller, it's not a very good design it seems like the wrong shape to fit in the hands correctly (maybe it's my hands that are misshaped), I had a problem withe the old xbox controller aswell it was too big.

I love the Xbox360 controller. Haven't had any problems out of it. D-pad works fine for me, but I admit it took some getting used to because it sits up so high out of the controller Don't know of any good 3rd party controllers for the 360 though.
