Quality of DS buttons

qBot

Hi,

I have both a GBA SP and a DS. I have to say though that I much prefer playing my SP as the quality of the buttons seem so much better. Its just a joy to play. The buttons on the DS seem a little bit sticky especially when played vertically (If i'm lying in bed for instance). In particular the D pad. Does anyone else find this. I know its a small thing but it can actually really annoy me. Trying to figure out whether its just my ds or what.

Wasn't wild about the DS's build quality to begin with but gotten used to it.
Buttons aren't so bad once you've played for a while.

It actually feels like a worren gamepad to me. Not really something you would want in a handheld. They should have made the quality a lot better

Yeah, they don't really feel like they are 1st party quality. I got over it after a few minutes though.

SP buttons are the best, GBA shape, and the way it feels when you hold it are the best, best thing about DS design, is the redesign when the lite comes out tbh.
