I had problems with regular controllers when playing an old PS4 game. Games like Contra and Castlevania or newer games like Broforce are much more comfortable to play with the D-Pad, but that seems to break regular PS4 controllers. After running 2 I settled on this one. The D-Pad feels much better and is much stronger than other controllers. The best part is that the size and layout makes it really look like a SNES controller which is just perfect.
