So I have been playing a lot lately and my hands are starting to ache. I find I'm cracking my fingers/knuckles all the time and center of my hand there a bit of pain. I know the thing to do is stop playing as much but hard to put down controller when your on a roll. Anyone have similar problem? I feel the akward shape of controller is causing this. I have never experience this with any other game.

Whats worse is switching back and forth from a controller and a fight stick. Just take a break every 20 minutes really. And keep the blood flowing to youre fingers

Yep and the D pad broke playing MK ha. It was awesome looking controller but the Dpad just isn't durable. I ve seen the same thing happen to multiple people. There some YouTube videos too.
Can you post a link to what it is? Is it a fight stick?

I think he means one of the Mad Catz controllers, but I'm not sure exactly which type - they made pads and sticks for Street Fighter IV:

This one:
Make sure you map it this way:
Square = 2
x = 1
Triangle = Tag
Circle = Grab
R1 = 4
R2 = 3
L1 = Stance
L2 = Block
With this pad you will find it easy to press two button simultaneously for certain combos. Tag combos are much easier to perform given that you press a button rather than an annoying trigger. EX moves feel much easier as well. The D-pad is the best on the market and the controller is so comfortable. I have a PS3 and was having the same problem as you with the Dual Shock but this controller is magical. I can play for hours now without having any pain. Cyrax + this pad + Me = BEAST!!

This is a great controller, friend uses one for SF and MK and swears by it. I would use one if I didn't prefer my modded mk pdp stick.

I dunno where you live but if u are in the UK you can pick it up for £12 at HMV. But there are plenty of them on ebay as well, maybe cheaper than HMV. The PS3 one needs AAA batteries (although the batteries last very very long) and the Xbox version is wired (saves u battery money).

I have the transforming DPAD one and it blows, The D-PAd is cheap and moves around too much.
I did find that the new analog design on the pad creates a better accurate sniper for CoD, Not that that matters on here though..
