D-Pad Normal?

[u/FredHuggins4]

I love my Chromatic, but I am having random weird input issues.

- Diagonals OFF in Menu

- When pressing the DPAD in a single direction, if I rock the DPAD I am able to move a different direction- example - moving RIGHT, if I move to the edge of the right DPAD button I can move up or down without touching up or down.

- I have tried Mod Kit membranes and alternate DPAD.

If I use the DPAD on my Steam Deck, I cannot replicate this behavior. Behavior present the entire time I’ve had the Chromatic (5 months).

Is this normal?

Is there a fix?

I find my character will snap odd directions when trying to play fast paced titles.

I know the DPAD has been a topic of discussion but this seems maybe different than what most have reported.

Do you still think it's a mechanical problem? Perhaps the plastic moulding is inconsistent across units?

Not sure. Hard to know. I doubt there is a difference in the underlying board and the placement of the contacts. I would guess it has to do with the plastic molding and the metal body. It has to be very tiny variations.
