      This. The d-pad is shaped like a cross, and a cross is how closed assholes are usually depicted in a simplified/censored manner in cartoons, therefore it is a pad made for dick.

    The D is for Diagonal-less because the pad had the corners removed.

        I bet the black/white buttons on Xbox would have been more successful and retained for the 360 had they been proper fullsized buttons.

        bought this for fighting games
        this only cost $40 and is as compatible on PC as any xbox controller. The C/Z buttons can easily be mapped as shoulder or trigger if need be

            I think this one changes which console it's supposed to be on

            alternatively the star is home and the heart is pairing. Or something. I just don't bother changing them once I get them set up so I don't care lol

            I mean, I can buy both. That D-pad looked like absolute balls when I was searching and there was no clear consensus that I could find re. which was better.

    When Nintendo invented the "d pad" with the Super Nintendo in 1990, it was actually a disc shape pad under a cross shape button, allowing input from all directions.
    Hence disc pad, or d-pad.

        Yes but the original Nintendo, now known as Nintendo 1, used a traditional joystick.
        When the superb Nintendo was released they released a reimagined controller using the new disc technology.

          I had one of these. I hated using the stick but it was our only turbo controller so I had to suffer through it for the turbo function.

    It's short for "digital pad," to differentiate it from the analog stick.
