if you have Xpadder or some other program that does joypad to keyboard (i'd suggest looking into that stuff if you emulate stuff) you can easily set the analog button for the start button on games, however it will still toggle the D-pad on/off. although not that its a problem since most games only use 8 buttons and theres 10, so you can set it to one of the others. if they did it would be THE perfect controller. there are four shoulder buttons, set up much like the PSX 1 or 2, and theres also an analog button, which turns off the D-pad feature.(you press on the d-pad and nothing happens) however there are no start or select buttons, which is odd. there is a FPS button, however i don't have any FPSs. it may take some time to get use to 6 of them if you have only used 4. all of the face buttons seem to work excellent too. however a normal special, with just one input of a QCF works fine. i would either do i forward punch or a dash punch instead of my super. like the d-pad works great for street fighter 3, however there are some issues i had while playing project justice:rival schools 2, like doing 2 QCF and a punch to activate a super. also some fighting games are hit and miss with the D-pad. this takes some time to get use to it, but then it just becomes second nature.

however you need to press on all of the points a bit slow, like for QCFs you kind of have to roll you thumb on all of the points to pull it off (down,forward down, forward).

The D-pad looks weird at first, but it is very good for 2D fighters, i can easily pull of hadokens (QCF) and other movements with ease for street fighter games, and other fighting games too. I bought this, because i wanted a 6 buttons on the front for fighters, specifically 2D fighters, since the x-box 360 controller, well sucks for 2D fighters.
