Got my Jap controller today. Damn it's a lot better!!! It actually fits in your hand confortably, and the buttons are easily within reach. Having the buttons lineup in the normal way is great, since it's much more normal. The d-pad can actually be pressed like a d-pad. The only thing is the shoulder buttons are a lot more loose compared to the other one. In some ways I like it, in others, I kinda like the strong springs.
Either way, the games are actually playable now. Finally I get a chance to play JSRF
Bottom line, when the Controller S(hit... kidding) comes out in 20 days... BUY BUY BUY!!! Your hands will thank you, and it pays for itself with all the money you save on pain medication.
