hey smashboards i'm hoping that you guys could help solve this problem i'm having. i just recently bought a 'new' controller and it does everything right except for back dashing. comparing this controller to my old one, its advantages are shield drops (slightly), tap jumps, can do empty pivots, and crispier buttons ~ making it easier to short hop, multishine, etc. however, my old controller has never had a problem with backdashing ever. is this new controller backdashing problem a recurring theme for everyone or is it just me? also, probrably the most important question i need to ask, will this problem go away over time if i keep using it or should i just leave it for my old one? thanks!

new controller (silver) - recently picked up
old controller (black) - used for 5 months (pretty heavily)

I just got a new controller recently, and I think yours just needs some breaking in. Try using it for a while, and it should smooth itself out
