:        What the hell was Sony smoking to think this controller was a : good thing .  The controller feels too small in my hand, and those two : protrusions dig into my hand.  The buttons are ok, however the four main : button are aligned as follows: :                                        o :                                      o   o :                                        o : Interesting reviews. I am considering getting a Playstation so that I can get : new games when I want them. (I know, wait a few weeks for new Saturn games). : I have seen a 3rd party controller that has a D-PAD!!! Thats right, not the : button crap that comes from Sony. Anyway, since you have a PSX, you need : to find one of these and buy it. Only played a little with the PSX, but the : other controller is MUCH MUCH BETTER!!! (IMO). :                                                                             : Ken   I played Playstation for the first time today (Tosinden) and I thought the control pad was really good.  The little handle things were a little too short, but for the directional pad, it's almost identical to SNES (the best directional pad ever) and a WHOLE lot better than that crap on the Saturn.  The only reason it isn't QUITE as good as the SNES is because the direction buttons are physically separated by the plastic, and it'll cause a few more blisters.  As for the responsiveness and the feel of the button presses, it's just as good as the SNES's. The Saturn pad, on the other hand, is the worst thing I've ever used.   You don't get that feel of the button having been pressed, and there's no clear separation from the diagonals to the up/down and left/right directions.  Moves that require you to tap directions are almost impossible.  The two buttons on the top (like the SNES L,R buttons) almost don't move so you can't tell if you've pressed them or not, and that really bugged me.
