I was initially very pleased with this controller and can therefore understand the positive reviews of other buyers well. However, I realized that the buttons do not respond this controller compared to the original as fast. generally this is no problem, in some genres like fighting games such as it falls but pleasant on. that alone would be no reason only three stars to forgive. but two buttons (x and z) terminals now. So the joypad seems one-sided burden of long soul calibur sessions not to be completely grown. The original joypad had to meet the demands of the same and works! as good as on the first day. incidentally coincides with the experience of my previous Nintendo pads. the original pads of my super nintendo are over 10 years old and still work. the pads of other providers get sometime quirks.
