About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 7270 DaysI didn't want to sand the plastic on my controllers, so for a long while I just put up with it.
Then I found something that doesn't require any slaughter of the original controller; you just add a little homemade disk between the d-pad components and everything is hunky-dorry.
You still need to take the controller apart to get inside, but overall it's an incredibly easy fix.
Here's the link:

Just skip past all the sanding parts and go straight for the coffee/nut can lid trick.
Trust me; no sanding is needed if you just do that.
Your d-pad will feel as good as, if not better than, the old Xbox d-pads.
You will be happy :) (just make sure you use the right lid material and your cuts are correct)
What you will notice is the d-pad will be stabilized (no more sliding around) and centered perfectly. There will be a nice "click" feeling when you press your directions and the whole thing will be much more responsive and accurate.
No amount of sanding can do that.

I don't know if it's because I use wired controllers, but I didn't need any of those Torx screwdrivers like he uses to disassemble the case... just a regular phillips with a small head.

Since 7270 DaysMicrosoft are pretty ignorant not to make this simple space fix.
I'm not saying they should put a nut can lid in there (although obviously that fixes the problem), they just need to adjust that tiny fraction of an inch of space to make it work properly again... nothing even approaching the redesign they did last generation.

Since 7398 DaysAnd yes, MS is dumb about this. Too few games depend on the d-pad, that's why I guess.
Mods, stop changing my SIG! I'm going to end up banning you!
