I'm tempted to take that old one apart and try to clean and fix the D-pad that won't move down anymore. I wore that thing out. This pad is looks great, feels great and the trigger buttons are great. The buttons are nicely placed but could be a little closer. The directional pad is nice but is a little misaligned and for certain games tires out the thumb.
Software is easy to install and has cool opitons.
Fun to play with because the gamepad looks cool and can function with games that require many controls and games that require minimal controls. Graphics are the same before and after I installed the pad. I think this section is for games. The buttons are very quite so if you are playing late at night and someone is sleeping, this pad is for you. The D-pad is a tad small but does not pose any significant problems.
