So I use a Genesis pad for running, and in the last couple of days I've had to stop because all of a sudden I'm having co-ordination issues with it. When I switch L/R direction, my thumb is often going into the void where the diagonals are.

-Has anyone ever had a similar experience with a Genesis pad?

-Has anyone ever had a similar experience with a NES/SNES pad? I figure that these incidences might be less since the pad is both smaller and actually indented into the controller with no voids around cardinals.

I'm not too worried that it's just me, but it would be nice to know I'm not the only one. Would love some feedback before I gamble on switching to a Nintendo controller.

what the hell is diagonal? .... keyboard user lol
