Subject: On tiny D-pads
The Gamecube pad as a whole is sublime. It's very well constructed, has a unique and thoughtful layout, and fantastic tactile response, but the d-pad doesn't get much love.
Most of the complaints maintain that the d-pad is too small. It is identical, however, to the GameBoy Advance pad, and only about 0.3mm smaller than the DS pad. Neither of these garners the same range of complaint as the GameCube pad... I wonder if the whingers realize this?

What's the big deal, eh?
