Hyperkin Controller Experience - It Sucks
DragonmasterDan:
So over labor day weekend Stone Age Gamer put the hyperkin specialist Turbo/PCE controller on sale and as part of another order decided to pick one out and in testing there's an immediate flaw. It seems as though there is some problem with the rubber pad for the RUN button overlapping with pushing down select, meaning on CD games if you casually press run it might just reset. I would advise against buying one of these.
roflmao:
Wow, that's a pretty huge flaw. I'm surprised they made it out like that. Yeesh.
Necromancer:
Sheesh, that's crazy. Did they not test at all or is yours defective?
Reset isn't just for CDs either. There's a few games where it's been disabled, but generally it works in any game, huey or disc.

Not sure, I'm not buying another one to find out. I may send it to the chospital to see if replacing the rubber pads is possible or some other workaround can be found.

This is the first I've heard of the run button overlapping with Select.
I know the D-pads have this problem. Lots of times when pushing right or left in Rondo of Blood, The special attack will get used because it is also partialy pushing Down at the same time. Simply changing out the rubber membrane for the D-pad fixes the issue. I have no idea why hyperkin hasn't just swapped out the D-pads themselves yet. They could at least include a spare that people can use if wanted.
So the start+select issue can probably be resolved with a replacement set of pads as well.
