Not bad | |
| It was cheap at the time when I got it. I liked it cause it was another controller for me. I do like how you can program your moves when you play games. Oh, and the directional pad does work very well, and is recommened for the game Shen Mue. Although it's good like this there is still a problem. My controller ended up having the analog stick lose grip of the turn base thingy. So now my analog stick spins around continuously. | |
An Absolute Must NOT Buy | |
| The whole point of a six button controller like the Quantum Fighter pad is to give players of Capcom fighting games which use a six button layout 6 buttons, instead of 4 buttons with 2 triggers or shoulder buttons. The problem with shoulder buttons is the action of pressing them with your index finger forces your thumb to pull away from the D-pad, making special moves very hard to pull off. Well, the 2 extra buttons on the Quantum pad, instead of performing the action of the shoulder buttons, perform the action of the A and X buttons, which acomplishes absolutely nothing. Furthermore, the shoulder buttons on the Quantum are big, and take a long time to push, hindering your timing on special moves even more. I'm returning mine immediately. If you want a 6 button pad, go with a Madcatz or an Ascii! | |
Perfect for Hacking! | |
| The reason I bought this controller is so I can hack it into a Joystick with arcade parts I bought...Why not use the regular dreamcast controllers, you ask? Because the LR buttons are analog and it's hard, if not impossible, to locate a soldering point. For whatever reason, I think it's security, that Sega made their controllers with their L R buttons weird, using a magnet to complete the circuit. Although you can't use the LR buttons (or the analog directional pad), I've heard that if you remove it, the dreamcast is smart enough to know that and won't operate. This is something I have to confirm. With this controller, it comes with six digital buttons that I could use to solder my arcade buttons to. |
