Would this help? What would?** A: this controller is built for precision in fighting games if you can get the rhythm down there will be no reason to push buttons repetitively so to answer your question yes it reduces the need to tap buttons just to make a move come out hope this helps. **Q: Does anyone else have a problem with the analog stick when playing 2D fighting games? When I do a half circle motion, it skips the down input.** A: I've never had the analog skip inputs, but the beauty of this controller is that the DPAD is responsive for 2D fighters. It's why I had bought this particular controller in the first place.This controller does have adjustable analog sensitivity though, so you may want to use a different setting for it to see if that improves the problem. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Old school, casual fighting gamers rejoice! *by T***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2014* First a little about myself:>I'm a 32 year old family man.>Don't want to play online or in tournaments.>ONLY BOUGHT THIS TO USE FOR FIGHTING GAMES - I haven't tried it on any other genre2D Fighters I used to play back in the day - Street Fighter II (SNES); Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition (Sega Genesis); Super Street Fighter II (Sega Genesis); Mortal Kombat (Sega Genesis); Eternal Champions (Sega Genesis); Mortal Kombat II (SNES); Street Fighter Alpha (PSOne)....in that order.With that kind of history it's obvious that most of those games I played with a d-pad controller. So now here I am almost 20 years later finding myself returning to the 2D fighter realm and was in desperate need of a GOOD d-pad.For those old school, D-pad 2D fighting game players who want to return to this genre, rejoice! This is the controller for you!WHY?Now please note that I've done some research, reading reviews and articles about some other third party Xbox 360 D-pads on the market and for the most part they were not favorable. I found a review of this controller on Kotaku and it seemed perfect for a gamer like myself.I've been playing with the HORI Xbox 360 Gem Pad EX for over a month now and I can honestly say that it is perfect for 2D-fighters and arguably the best D-pad you can get for a Xbox 360 controller for the price! The size is slightly bigger than a PS3 controller and slightly smaller than a 360 controller. The buttons are responsive. The build quality is good.So far I've played and finished:Mortal Kombat KompeteUltimate Marvel vs Capcom 3Marvel vs Capcom 2I'm waiting for Ultra Super Street Fighter IV...or maybe I'll purchase Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition for cheap then purchase the DLC when it's available. I'll keep this updated!Here are some pros and cons:PROS (so far):Excellent D-Pad - accurate; definitely plays like an old school d-pad in every wayButtons are responsiveNice glow light when plugged inPriceCONS (so far)Not wireless - the cord is a decent length but I would have preferred it to either be a little longer or no cord at allOverall, as I mentioned earlier I have not, nor do I intend to use this game pad for anything else other than 2D fighting games. For this purpose the HORI Gem Pad is excellent. As for anything else, well, obviously I cannot say.UPDATE!So since Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition is free for Xbox Live Gold members, I've decided to give it a go instead of waiting until August for a disc copy of the "Ultra" version. I tried out the Gem pad with Ryu, Guile, and Zangief. With Ryu I had no problem executing any of his special moves i.e. fireball, dragon uppercut, etc. I was able to execute Guile's charge attacks with ease as well. Zangief special moves were not a difficult as I expected however one of Zangief's ultra movies requires two 360 clock-wise motions with the d-pad which I could not do at all. This is not surprising because back in the day Zangief's moves were always near impossible to execute using a d-pad...at least for me.All in all playing Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Ediiton with the Hori Gem Pad worked about how I expected it to. The d-pad is actually slightly more responsive than I expected and for the most part doesn't require a lot of pressure to pull off a special move. ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars The Rock Candy wired controller was leaps and bounds better than this one *by F***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016* Worked well at first, but quickly went south from there. The Rock Candy wired controller was leaps and bounds better than this one. Never had any problems with that one until the kids wrapped the cord way too tight one too many times causing a bad connection in the cable. Move on if your looking for a cheap quality controller, This is not it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great controller. Not for everyone. *by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2014* The cord is a standard 9 ft long. It is also white, which helps differentiate it from the majority of black corded devices I own (headset, external HDD USB cable).Lighting effect is nice and always on. Actually brighter on the rear of the controller rather than the front.All four trigger buttons are of high quality, although there is no pressure sensitive analog on the triggers. They click instead.The analog sticks click twice when pressed, the second click being the one that registers. A bit strange, but doesn't negatively effect game play for me.Both analog sticks are completely plastic instead of the rubber nubs you get with the standard controller, but are still highly tactile. The amount of resistance on both analog sticks can be adjusted with the switch in the middle. Push the switch all the way up and you get a response of a controller that is "broken in" with loose resistance. Push it all the way down, and the tension on the springs in the sticks is increased leading to a stiffer experience.Best thing about this controller is the genuine + d-pad. And it is a large Super Nintendo-sized d-pad. I hate hate hate the standard 360 d-pad, and is the reason I am buying a controller in the first place. I can't stand how easy it is to accidentally press the diagonal when you mean to press a cardinal direction.Controller is a nice weight, being that it has no batteries. It's a bit smaller than the stock controller, all with the exception of the enlarged and improved d-pad.Rumble works great.I enjoy the lighting, and you can't turn it off.This controller is not for someone who relies on the analog trigger buttons, like in racing games.Not good for someone who wants to sit farther than 7 feet or so from their system, due to the cord length.If you think the light would annoy you, you may be right.I wish the A, B, X, Y buttons were illuminated.I had purchased a Nyko wired controller before I got this one. The right trigger button stopped working on that one after a week. The HORI trigger buttons on this one are of higher quality and will not likely break. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/8684020-hori-xbox-360-gem-pad-ex-ruby-red](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/8684020-hori-xbox-360-gem-pad-ex-ruby-red) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
