My only complaint with my brand new Wired is that the D-pad still sucks just as much as they have since the 360 came out. Doesn't really matter for Halo, but they're f.cking terrible.

A few wireless that I have bought have come with really weird bumpers as well -- too easy to press down, they don't "click" like they're supposed to, etc. This is extremely annoying when trying to play bumper jumper.

As for the sticks, I haven't ever noticed any problems.
