PS3 D-pad not that responsive.

[GarthMarenghi]

Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem, I have the D-pad and right analogue stick marked to the same controls and when using the D-pad there is either a delay, doesn't register the press or registers the press fine at random intervals. When using the analogue stick it seems to work perfectly.

I'm using some driver that picks up the ps3 pad as an xbox360 and tried the D-pad on pc games to which it seems to work perfectly so I don't think it's the controller or the driver though I could be wrong.

I'm using v0.9.8-475-g1d545f3 for windows 64 at the moment but it's been like this since they added the key mapping function I think.
It's not a huge problem to use the right analogue stick instead I'm just curious if it's only on my end.
