S1500 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 So I was enjoying emulated games on the Wii, and had to use the Wii Classic controller. The right direction on the d-pad is really flakey. I hold it dowh, and it stops responding after a while. I do a rapid tap left to test, and it's 100% responsive. I do it on the right, and it's getting only half the # of taps. It even sounds different when I tap it. This controller has very little mileage on it. What should I be looking at if I pop it open to give 'er a fix? Also I must remind myself to disconnect the GameCube controller & try it again fresh. I'm wondering if the system having three D-pads as input on the system is messing things up on emulators. Discovered the issue when I was playing SNES Doom where I couldn't rotate right continually(it stopped after a second), where I can do that left-direction just fine. At least I can still enjoy older systems that have fewer buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPA5 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I've heard that dust from the d-pad rubber can gum up the contacts. I would start with cleaning the contacts for the d-pad with isopropyl alcohol, then taking a look at the rubber itself for the d-pad. It should be in good condition, without any cracks, tearing, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
