Mad Catz Modern Warfare 2 Controllers

I'm still on the fence about getting Modern Warfare 2, but I was on IGN and seen these new controllers... I'm tired of using the Dpad on the regular 360 controller because it's too stiff when I'm playing SFIV, but the dpad on these Mad Catz controllers look alright...

What are your thoughts on these new controllers?

my friend got the Mad Catz SFIV dpad controller and it almost made me throw up trying to play with it... lol

these don't look half bad though... but idk, they look good but I don't want to get 'em and they feel cheap.

i personally hate mad catz, too much of their merchandise has broken on me for no reasonchaoscougar1

I bought a SE fightstick from MadCatz for SFIV, having a great time with it and its taken quite a beating and still working fine.

However, I did hear that many people had problems with the first batch of these sticks due to some bad design (loose washers rubbing against the PCB)but I believe the problems were addressed (Well I hope so :?).

If your looking for a controller for SFIV id suggest picking up a Hori stick if you can get one cheap.

Just wondering whats the appeal of a new MW2 specific controller? Do they incorporate turbo fire or something?

not only just for fighters, but other games as well... the dpad on the 360 is the worst feature on the console... I'll play gears and press left to switch to shotgun but it'll go to grenades(which is up) and i'll be stuck with a smoke grenade getting blown to bits... so I like the look of the dpad on these mad catz controllers, not just for SF IV but also for Gears 2, MM9, and alot of 2D games I play.

Mad Catz is known for making poor quality products. I once bought from them a protective case for my PSP and some UMD cases. The case broke and scratched my PSP's screen a couple of days later, while the UMD cases jammed shut and wouldn't open until I was forced to break them.

Oh right, that makes a lotta sense I suppose. Was kind of worried that they were just normal pads with turbo functionality and MW2 multiplayer was going to be ruined before it even started :P
