Need Controller Recommendations — Great D-Pad or Hitbox?

I’ve been using a Hori Fight Pad for a while, and it’s been solid, but my execution needs an upgrade. I’ve been using the analog stick (lol I know…), so now I’m looking for a controller with a really good D-pad.
I’m also considering trying a Hitbox/leverless setup since I’ve always been curious about them.
Any recommendations for:

-Pads with excellent D-pads
-Beginner-friendly Hitbox-style options
-Tips for switching from pad/analog to something better

Thanks! Super excited to experiment and improve.

My new Fightpad

A while ago, I decided to sell my M30, which was basically my go-to Fightpad, but last week I bought my new Fightpad, I got lucky because it was only $10 on Marketplace in my city

I like this one better than the M30 because of its size and shape.

8bitdo leverless upgrades?

I know you can swap out the switches, and there are plenty of low profile switches you can use.
BUT What about the buttons? I cant seem to find any leverless/hitbox buttons, and I wanna get some new ones to help upgrade my new 8bitdo Xbox leverless.

I also have a 8bitdo arcade stick and upgrade those buttons and stick gate. Which was SUPER easy and stress free, so just curious how anyone experience upgrading switches/buttons and putting art on the leverless will be?

Bought a Cat

Bought a new Haute42 C-AT. I love the size of it cause it’s a little bigger than The C16, I ended up not liking the adjustable travel though because of how loud it was, so I just opted to switch them out for standard key cap with new switches.

Fight stick pants

This might be a silly idea but would it be possible to build a fight stick into a pair of pants? Like have the buttons be on the thigh so when you sit down the fight stick is right there on your lap! And it would probably look pretty cool as a pair of pants too! Lemme know if that’s a good idea or if anyone has ever heard of anyone doing anything like that

Compact JLF for thin sticks

This is a mod for a JLF and OttoDIY pivot to make a compact lever. I posted this 2 years ago but forgot to get around to sharing the files.

Files includes a Hori Mini specific design and a general thin lever design. This feels just like a JLF because it is, just moved the body out of the way.

Fightbox M8-CrossUp Board

Do both of these listings have the same board? The stick is cheaper on AliExpress but the board they list is different from the official Fightbox website. Does anyone know if the RP2040 is the same is the GP2040-CE?

Thanks in advance!

bought the new Crazy dongpal pro

i had a hard time finding the DF input when doing electrics. I replaced it with a bat top, and it got better, but with the shaft and bat top, the height feels really tall — it honestly looks too tall and kinda weird. But it’s okay as long as I get the inputs right.

Also, if you replace the actuator with a smaller one, it loses its lock and the handle starts spinning. I suggest sticking with the stock actuator if you want the handle to feel steady.

Does anyone else here have the same issues?
