A close-up photo of an EverCade VS's gamepad. The D-pad is cross-shaped, and has an exaggerated dip in the middle, suggesting it's great for rocking back and forth between opposing directions.

   Speaking of arrow keys, the D-pad is some kind of SEGA/SNES hybrid, a cross-shape with arrow indents but also a deep bowl in the middle. The material is pretty slick and it's fast enough for quick left-right flicks. It might be a little too hard to be comfortable in longer play sessions, and its eight-directional movement is hardly inspiring (Streets of Rage was a lot of work), but if you want Duke to take just one step out onto a ledge for a precise jump, it's actually really good at that.
