Your thoughts on the [PS3]HORI Fighting Commander Pro 3

In case some of you folks are curious about this controller I'll give you my input even though it's been one day of using it.

The disappointing aspect is that I can't iTP at all, not with just d-pad alone no matter the angle I've adjusted at.

Aside from that, the d-pad is precise I can iGDR very consistently with this with very slight errors in SC4.

There are times when my index fingers accidentally touch L1 or R1 which I assign A+K and B+G on the wireless PS3 pad, but with the HORI fightpad, the way my index fingers are positioned is far from touching them unlike the latter which my fingers barely touch.

Finally the face buttons are bigger than the original PS3 controller. My worry is that when doing slide inputs my finger may collide with the wrong button but to my surprise I'm doing slide inputs consistently well so far in 1 day. The only thing that matters is that I have to get accustomed to the 6 face button layout since I'm already used to 4 which hopefully wouldn't be a problem.

In conclusion, if you're a Cervy player and you want to do all of Cervy's move sets then you're in for a disappointment (hopefully not in SC5) unless you can iTP very well on a d-pad. Aside from that, I think it maybe a great controller to use although you have to deal with 6 face-button layout.
 
I might get it purely so I have a six button face pad - then I'll get some sexy shoes, turn-up jeans, become generally more attractive and pretend I'm Docvizzo, lol.
 
d-pad is very good, with Cervantes I can iGDR just as good as on the regular PS3 pad. aGA I just assigned L1 as G and do aGA from there I say it's not bad took some getting use to; I couldn't do the instant version of it though.
 
Mine arrived in the mail last night.

I can personally testify, it's tight like a tiger.

The buttons are large and sensitive, as is the d-pad. It will take my hand some time to realize there are six face buttons, the L-R switch feature is excellent. All 8 buttons at my right hand. This is an awesome controller.
