Evil Controllers summons the Evil D-Pad for Xbox 360

by JC Fletcher on Oct 26th 2010 3:00AM

If you want an improvement over the Xbox 360's current D-pad, you can wait until November 9 and pick up one of the new controllers with the twisty directional pads ... or you could get one of these things. Evil Controllers is offering standard wireless or wired Xbox 360 controllers with the addition of the "Evil D-Pad," which replaces the traditional rocker switch with four buttons. Desperate times (including any time you're trying to play a game with the D-pad) call for desperate measures!

You can order a wired controller with an Evil D-Pad for $54.99, or a wireless version for $74.99. That is, of course, unless you choose to bundle it with other mods. If you're going to do this to your controller, why stop there?

So wait, hold on.
Someone said to themselves "man, directional arrows just aren't funky enough, i need to change that" and now we have squiggle arrows?!!

what the...

@Istari Spartan

The "squiggly" arrow is actually the Evil logo's tail.

@BlazeKing
Oh, I see.
Thanx for pointing that out to me.

I bought a PS2 adapter for my 360 and viola...I'm good to go.

I love this and would love to buy a kit to mod my existing controller(s), but I don't think I'll be paying $75 for this controller.

@DorffMeister

I think they have sales pretty often!!

@DorffMeister
They got sales and something called the milita. you get a decent code.
might want to try it out.

PASS
Still would rather wait for the Razer Onza

It is really easy to use the diagonal features on the controller, all you have to do is press two buttons together. For people who play street fighter, you use X and A to do a grapple. It is the same thing for the evil d-pad. Just press two buttons at the same time and you should be good.
