Nintendo: This is a more detailed point but for the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller directional buttons, we made it so that it's even more difficult to have mistaken input. Of course, it doesn't completely eliminate that possibility but it should reduce it.

I'm glad they fixed the embarassingly terrible and unusable d-pad from the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. I can't believe that d-pad passed the QA or testing stages of the release process...

I just don't understand how they are struggling with something they invented themselves and already perfected in the mid-eighties.

I took NES and SNES controllers apart like two months ago to clean them. It's pretty simple in there.

Exactly! The NES or Famicom d-pads are perfect. How did they get them wrong for the most expensive Switch controller?!

Iwata died and the company went to shit..
