if you press right but you exert force upwards towards the up button it'll press up, but i dunno how anyone is doing this accidentally. i have to go out of my way to push the right button upwards instead of right

The d-pad is kind of loose and has a less pronounced "pivot" in the middle than most Nintendo stuff, but yeah it's not enough to actually be an issue unless you have giant sausage thumbs or are the type who mashes buttons with 80 pounds of force every time you press them.

I look forward to picking up a few more Pro Controllers on clearance once everyone complains and they release a new revision because I like these a lot and will use them for PC multiplayer stuff.

Yeah, the conference is good, just a critical failure that it doesn't bring many reasons to actually go buy an xbox of either kind since almost everything they unveiled was timed exclusive at most. But on the flip side, if you already had an Xbox then you are given reason to keep it.

I really like the pro controller but I've been having a hard time using it on pc. 90% of games seem to just expect xinput. I managed to trick Prey into using it with x360ce, but I couldn't get it work with anything else that I have been playing lately. What do you do to make modern games play nice with this controller?

My E3 wishlist:

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 release date, preferably still releasing this year.
Octopath Traveler release date.
New Switch games that aren't Wii U ports.
A new Pikman game for the Switch, that isn't a platformer.

The Xbox One X; Goatsing players with its acronym everywhere. I love how the "most powerful system ever" is a slightly faster processor and an extra 4GB of RAM. With A NEEWWWWW CAAARRR!! :supaburn:

There's a new Pikmin game coming called Pikmin World, based on datamined store listings. XC2 might come out this year, but it'll almost certainly be towards the end of 2017 and in only Japan. A worldwide release will take until a fair ways into next year unless they actually work on the english release during production. (Which they didn't even do for XCX, their big-name darling of a WiiU title.)

I'd love to be wrong but that's up there with "mainline pokemon game on the switch announcement" in terms of wishful thinking. If Retro isn't working on either a new mainline or Wii U port of Donkey Kong for the Switch I'd be very surprised.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo's going to keep pumping out lovely sideline Metroid games and using the low sales numbers to justify not making another Metroid game, repeat every 5 years.
