Arkodd PadBox Review~a contender for the best fighting game dpad... and a little more

[@Arkoddctrl]

Thanks for the great review and an excellent breakdown of the controller! I love the ocean style of your controllers!

hey you, i just found your shadow of the colossus Video and i agree 100% percent! its so nice to see iam not the only one who has that opinion. it truly feels like it lost its souls (for me also the bugged audio from ps2 Emulator is part of og experience 😅)

[@steillanims2342]

Another great video, I think it would be great to see you do a video on the fightsticks that you own

[@siegarettes]

appreciate it! I've def been thinking about something along those lines, I just need to find some space since these things are huge

[@아이스크림-u3x]

it looks cool man does the split Dpad going well on 2D fighters?

[@siegarettes]

This dpad is actually one piece underneath, though I have heard other people trying the split dpad and having difficulty hitting diagonals with 2d games the dpad it comes with is great for 2d games though

[@feifonglong4321]

I'd like to see this kind of d-pad on a regular controller with analog sticks. There's still no good ones with full mechanical d-pad.

[@siegarettes]

yeah there's a couple pads with full mechanical dpads but they all have some flaw or another

goddamn I totally missed an opportunity to put that as the intro

[@homurayurisquad1423]

seems too small to move around on your lap like most sticks, but too big to hold in your hand and naturally claw grip like a stick. its a good idea i dont know why other people don't officially come up with. I'd personally design it to be bigger and heavier

[@siegarettes]

it's honestly deceptively big. if you claw grip on a pad you definitely have way more surface area to do that here. any bigger and you're just using a mini arcade stick

[@homurayurisquad1423]

@@siegarettes pblem i see is moving around too much on lap if theres not enough weight

[@tesoufgc]

@@homurayurisquad1423 It's normal its moving since he is holding the side with his hand. I don't think this being heavy is a good idea you need some movement for your left hand imo. Imagine making your ps5 controller heavy for claw grip that's not great.

[@homurayurisquad1423]

@@tesoufgc you only move your thumbs for a dpad. the problem with the ps5 analogy is that pad =/=stick. you dont want a stick or hitbox moving around while you play, but you play with a pad in your hand, its a big difference. I even just tried grabbing my stick by the edge and moving thumb around to test what you said. it does not move around.

[@tesoufgc]

@@homurayurisquad1423 don't forget youll be holding the padbox in your left hand and you can have your hand floating. If the padbox was very heavy this could make it an issue for your wrist. Your right palm will be rested on the space under the buttons so I don't imagine it moving. Unless you play piano style that could maybe be an issue. In this video he didn't show the right way to play since you have to play on your lap not at the edge of a desk. I think neeto has a better video to show it.

Wireless support?

[@siegarettes]

by default it doesn't come with wireless but if you use the brook wireless board you can build one with wireless you can learn a bit more about it in my review kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqrXmqyId8SchJI
