I dunno, the SNES D-pad still holds up quite well these days. On the other hand, I never felt that the Megadrive D-pad was particularly nice, and the competition Pro / Honeybee CD32 controller is very similar - a little too big for my liking, but that's subjective.

I reckon the original CD32 controller D-pad is pretty dire though. I've never used one of the ones that has the cross glued on top of the circle, but using just the circle isn't very comfortable for any great length of time.
