Comment on How to repair unresponsive Mega Drive/Genesis d-pad?

The PCB is probably shedding at this point, so the contacts have a gap. You could try putting a nub of something in there for added pressure, but it surely still won’t feel right while playing.

Is buying a used controller out of the question?

Is buying a used controller out of the question? The backup plan is to do either that or get an 8bitdo M30 with a retro receiver!

  I did get the M30. It’s delightful but there’s one problem - it looks like The Lion King is one of the few games the Retro Receiver has a problem with. Any button presses while holding a direction on the D-pad interrupt the direction on the D-pad. So a roll becomes a crouch and a running jump becomes a standing jump. I’ve reached out to support, hopefully they can help, otherwise I’ll have to return it.
