The keypad is plenty usable, with large metallic keys, but the recessed d-pad makes navigation a bit of a chore.

One cannot use the D-pad to scroll through these elements (which we expect will be jarring to most users, who expect some consistency throughout the menus).
The D-Pad can be flipped to the opposite side of the controller using the small mode key so that lefties can join in the fun, too.

The shoulder buttons have been pushed more to rear to be easier to press, while the action buttons and D-pad have better tactile feel and responsiveness.

Navigating the menus wasn't a hassle with the circular D-pad, and although apps weren't booting instantly, you couldn't call the user experience slow or at all frustrating.

There is a minor issue with the D-Pad - it is not a joystick like on the K700, but a joystick looking select button surround by a D-Pad.
In May, Samsung will release a Game Arcade gamepad that looks very similar to an Xbox 360 controller with dual analog sticks and shoulder, D-pad and four face buttons.

We eventually got to the Facebook Java app hidden inside the Applications folder -- apparently right-click on the D-pad should launch it but we had no luck with that.
Since the embedded gyroscopes are used along with the d-pad and analog stick for navigation, selecting the right menu option feels akin to whack-a-mole -- unless the controller is held impossibly still.
The device features a D-Pad -- the group of four buttons that looks like a plus sign and has been found on the left side of Nintendo remotes for decades.

It's not all bad -- the d-pad is as solid as ever, and the clicky digital triggers work beautifully (as long as you're not playing an FPS or a racing game, that is).
The controller, which is likely not the final product, includes a touchpad in between the d-pad and the traditional buttons, while the thumbsticks remain largely in the same place as the DualShock 3.
Though it sacrifices genuine leather in favor of a rubber coating, its contours and features are similar, down to the Engine Start button (here, a d-pad) and the turn signals (replaced with face buttons).

Oh, we almost forgot -- they've boosted out the keyboard in favor of a more useful D-pad and A, B, X, Y button formation -- which is, needless to say, awesome for playing awesome games.

Many of us whiled away untold hours of our youth mashing the D-pad, A and B buttons of the original Game Boy, which is why we've seen many hacks using its iconic hardware.
The bright yellow, fully Sprint-ified UI theme is an acquired taste, the reversed direction of the QWERTY slide takes a little getting used to, and we found the soft buttons by the d-pad just a little hard to single out.
The differences from Moga's previous iteration are clear and many: a rechargeable battery built in, a d-pad, larger face buttons, full analog sticks with click, and shoulder buttons just above triggers (and a backlight, if you're into that kinda thing).
Actually, it's more accurate to say that it's 95 percent BlackJack and 5 percent improvement, with a more inward-slanted, square d-pad that makes it considerably harder to accidentally hit the surrounding controls, and angled keys that offer an embedded numeric pad in the proper configuration (we appreciate what Samsung tried to do with the original BlackJack's every-other-key layout, but in practice, it just didn't work out).
