[QUOTE="Mark W**a, post: 28853, member: 1196"] I use the bumpers as well (shoulder buttons). They are faster than the triggers since they have zero play in them. Also, stop pressing the triggers so damn hard then. A light tap is the same as a HARD push. There's something about pinball though. You push those buttons HARD because you are trying so hard to make the shots lol. My hands NEVER sweat on any other game, I even play Street Fighter competitively and my hands don't sweat, and I don't press buttons hard, but with PBA my hands sweat and I find myself pressing those buttons down like my life depends on it... but still not hard enough to actually ruin my controller though. Also should make a thread about broken controllers from throwing them, and broken TV's. I nearly hurled my pad into my 5 thousand dollar set numerous times. Again, no other game ever causes me to do this, just pinball. Thankfully I just throw the controller over on the couch and kick a chair now when my ball drains due to my faults. [/QUOTE]
