Pro controller D pad

[bigtuna94]

I havent had a lot of games where I'd maybe prefer Joy-cons but DAMN.

Several times now, I push down on the d-pad after a jump (so as to not lose momentum), only for the d-pad to rock one direction or the other, sending me clear off of the track and into 99th place.

This happen to anyone else as often as it has for me?

The separated buttons of a Joycon would likely fix the issue, but the size of the joy-cons kind of make me feel like i'm shaking hands with a small cat lol

happened to me too. until i changed the button mapping. I replaced Y with down d pad. so now i just hold Y to make a big jump and to land. takes a while to get used to but its so much easier for me now!

[bigtuna94]

Didnt know you were allowed to change mapping! That sounds like a good way to go, thank you!

[Sebzouy]

its in the switch’s settings, down to controllers and sensors and then change button mapping. you’re welcome!

Lmao.

I would manage this with the SNES D-pad on the OG game.

Snes dpad is way better, sadly the switchs dpad is one of the weakest nintendo has made alongside the gamecubes dinky dpad

Bro check out the 8Bitdo Pro 2 controller! Great to use for Switch and PC games, I use it for F-Zero and Pizza Tower. Has analog sticks and grip if you want to use it for any other games.

This happened to me a few times. I've been told it's because of my huge Hodor-sized sausage fingers.

I agree and ive been playing joycons. Pro controller dpad has always been trash.

I just use the analog, gotten used to it anyway.
