[quote=87036]I’ve been using a pair of the SNES styled iBuffallo controllers for a few weeks. I can’t recommend them though. The face buttons work fine, as do the triggers, though the d-pad registers lots of false inputs. When left idle it’ll occasionally send false up, left and rights. This happens during play too […]

Oh, I thought I would go crazy. My iBuffalo Classic USB Gamepads (or at least one of my two) have this issue too. I tested some other Controllers before but this type is by far the best one. It feels really close to the (european) originals of Nintendo. But sometimes when I leave Emulationstation in the menu and go to the kitchen or so, there is another item selected when I come back to the screen.
In Games I sometimes (very rare) died because my player walked one super tiny step to the side. But till now I didn’t realize that this all is related to the controller. Has anyone looked deeper into it? My short google search brought this to my attention:

This is so sad. The best SNES-linke controller out there obviously has electric problems. Any ideas how to fix that?
One other funny thing: The serial numbers of my two iBuffalo Gamepads are both A41130. ;-)
