Why does people prefer traditional d-pad buttons over the directional buttons the joycons and Pro Controller have?

[QUOTE="spinal_cord, post: 10328093, member: 90607"] Because some of us are old and prefer direction controls to be the way we learned them. On a 'tradiditional' D-Pad, there is a pivot point in the centre, enabling you to press left OR right, up OR down, but never both. One problem with Nintendo's new direction buttons, is that they used them on the pro controller, but placed a D-pad over the top without the pivot, enabling you to be able to press left+right, up+down or all four at once. This is VERY bad for games like Tetris(tm) that require fast direction movemnt without mistakes. Because without this pivot point in the D-pad, it is far too easy to accidentally hit up or down when pressing sideways and in a game like Tetris(tm) this will have undesired conciquences like slamming your shap to the ground when you only pressed right for example.

The worst is when its a dry poop, then you spend 20 minutes and ha!f a roll of TP wiping. Its like wiping TP over a magic marker, just won't stop showing.
