    What's the deal with it? I wouldn't have the most delicate fingers but i find it grand, there are people complaining about games being unplayable with it. Its not that bad. am i the only one who finds it quite useable?

    I've no problems with it. I use it instead of the d-pad for GTA, but not for Wipeout or RidgeRacer, the d-pad just feels easier for racing games.

    My thumb gets a bit raw when i use it for too long I also find it slightly hard to use because of where it is. Plus in gta when on foot its a pain trying to get him to walk straight.

    For me its d pad all the way which on the ps2 and xbox id never even consider using.

    I find it grand, though I have urchased some nub amrour kit, basically replacements, which can make it alot easier to use =D you pick em up for 1 cent of ebay and worth the investment.

    So then you didnt find orignal design easy to use then :D

    I might actually pick one up off ebay.

    Always use the analogue nub. I find that the D-pad on all playstations to be atrocious. It's difficult to do diagonals and completely destroys most fighting games. I can't see how anyone can use the d-pad over the analogue nub or even the analogue sticks.

    I wouldnt use it over the analogue sticks but that analogue nub is no use to me after a while my thumb gets raw and my thumb slips off it too much, im sure some people are fine with it but I have fairly moist hands I think.

    The d pad is not too great on ps systems just takes one go at the ds pad to see how it should be done. But the ps d pad is no where near as bad as the x box.

    i would have been the complete opposite on the ps2, always favouring the d-pad for driving/racing.

    i think its hilarious tha some people mistook it for a speaker.

    haha yea i was one of those people thought it was a speaker till i actually saw it for the first time, it looks like one in the pics is saw :o
