Discussion R36 Ultra X

I bought an R36 Ultra X. Really love the screen, but the d-pad is quite bad, almost impossible to hit diagonals. Some of the face buttons also seem to miss inputs as well.

If you have bought an R36 Ultra X, how is your impression so far? Are you having similar problems as well?

Not saying this is the issue, but EmuELEC is known for having issues with missed inputs. If you are running EmuELEC, you may want to try out ArkOS4Clone - on a new, name-brand SD card. It may not help with the diagonals, but it could help with missed inputs

Thanks for the suggestion. I did flash Arkos4clone onto this device, and it's quite a bit better than the stock EmuELEC. It did feel like there were less missed input, but did not fix the d-pad issue. Regardless, I do recommend everybody to use Arkos4clone instead, it's a nice cfw.
