Well, anyone who managed to get one, lemme know how the d-pad is on it. Is it better than the OG Steam Deck D-pad or the OLED D-pad? I changed my OLED d-pad to mechanical buttons, and it's felt much more accurate for 2d platformers and fighters.
There are many YouTubers with reviews of this. They say the dpad still uses membrane but feels better than Steamdeck but still has a bit of cardinal slide.

I got one and will try to post to this community with my thoughts after I receive it.
The dpad is also my biggest worry with it.
What did you do to upgrade your deck dpad? I would love to do that to mine too if it works well and isn't too loud.
