I recently switched to running Mercs at NTSC having optimised the performance in PAL, but I baulk at the imprecision of the 3 button MD controller's d-pad. It's so horribly easy to misdirect between cardinal and diagonal. I must be in a huge minority saying that but do any other SMD runners have this problem and what did you change to?
I'm currently considering getting an arcade stick with an octagonal gate but I am quite frustrated that I can't find a d-pad with separate keys for everything - in my head this looks like an 8 key piano keyboard, with cardinals at a minimum width, diagonals at 2 times as wide and set in closer to the centre to enable easy changes between straight up, and down diagonals.
