 > Hi, Folks,
 >
 > We're not satisfied with the current gamepad implementation on the B1
 units. The problems here are threefold. First, the implementation of the
 left gamepad controller needs a bit of tweaking to ensure consistency
 across all units (we currently see a failure rate of ~2.5% on the gamepad
 switches).

 The buttons also feel substandard in how they are built.  The buttons on
 the right seem to be made of one piece of plastic so that when one button
 is pressed, they all move.  Also, the buttons on the right have a "click"
 feeling requiring a lot of force to depress them.  A typical game pad
 requires very little force to depress the buttons (necessary for button-
 mashing!).
