Hey, I just bought a used SNES controller (original) and I was just wondering how the D-Pad is supposed to feel. The one on the controller I have is loose and shifts around a bit. It also has a kind of squishy feel. I have heard that older console controllers such as the SNES are supposed to feel less clicky than newer systems but I was just curious as whether the slight shifting and squishiness of the D-Pad is normal or if it is just something that comes with long term usage of the controller. Thanks all!
normally most buttons on old consoles are squishy instead of clicky but my theory is that that's also why they don't break as easily
goodbyes are a sad part of life but for every end there's a new beggining so one must never stop looking forward to the next dawn

that and the button membrane repair kits...ive got them for nes, snes and genesis.
it doesnt hurt to keep extra controllers either. i personally take them all apart and scrub the buttons and insides and outsides of the controllers with soap and a toothbrush as well.

Feels much better than the d-pad on the Wii pro controllers. Wall jumping in Super Metroid is a pain with that thing, as opposed to with the original pad where it felt nice and natural. God, I miss my SNES sometimes.

I don't blame you guys for having more NES and Genesis games becuase SNES games are pricey!
