Do you think the 3DS joystick could have been better? How would you do it?

Should have been all metal under the rubber pad and not shit quality plastic.

The amount of people who had them crack apart or just fall off is disgusting.

Also should have had some texture on the rubber for grip.

have it be like an actual analog stick. Shit's uncomfortable when you're holding a position for longer than 30 seconds.

Literally another circle pad directly under the yxab buttons

>have it be like an actual analog stick

Then you'd have a dual screen system that can't fold.

I also prefer sticks over circle pads, but it's not practical.

Personally I think it would have benefited from being a little larger.. as in, had a little more room to move. It's rather tricky to get subtle movements with it.

Make dual sticks, design them so that they are similar to analog sticks without poking upwards to much, and add grooves to the top screen so that it can still shut completely.

The sad thing is that c-stick thing on the N3DS is even worse.

What an unresponsive piece of shit that little thing is, and they positioned it too high as well.

>Then you'd have a dual screen system that can't fold.
And?

Can't fit in your pocket

analog stick, pops out from the side when fully extended it locks in place and is even clicky, push it back in and it folds itself back down.

Thanks for proving my point with that crap.

Buying a gamepad-style handgrip for the 3DS (XL) is absolutely necessary.

The analog stick doesn't overlap with the top screen, simply curve the top part around the analog stick.

Why do handheld engineers suck so much dick

>that dead zone

>playing any game more intensive than a walking sim
>stick constantly gets pushed back in while playing

No thanks.

You have small pockets then.

I digress, Should be a bit thicker or do something like this.

It needed the N64 analog stick.

Don't even joke about that user.

Should have been an actual stick

>b- but muh folding dual screens
what if you can easily disconnect the stick, (magnetized piece, think Xbox One Elite Controller) and then you could put it into a mount on the back of the device like the Stylus?

I think it's fine considering the fold design
The c-stick, however, is fucking trash HOLY SHIT
Instead of making it a off-place nub, they should've just made a second analog stick at the same spot as the left

Recess the circle pads deeper into the bottom of the unit and recess the top screen slightly or make the edges slightly larger so that everything can still shut.

it would obviously lock into place I did say that

This.

Like said with the texture.
After using it for a decent amount of time, it slides far too much under your thumb.

>The amount of people who had them crack apart or just fall off is disgusting.

The only instance that i've seen it happening was my nephew's, who i might add went out of his way to make sure it came off, because children. Not that i'm implying you guys are spastic menchilds.

Or maybe i am?
