Every younger siblings gaming memory lol.
Too bad they forgot about triggers. It feels weird pulling a second shoulder button where a trigger typically is.
I don't have any problems going between the dual shock 4 or wii u pro controller. The stick placement is fine in both due to the way each controller is contoured. I still prefer the DS4 because it countours better in my hands, but either will work.

This. Lol functionality aside that's one ugly thing dude.

I personally go out of my way to get wired controllers because they're much harder to steal when I set up games at public events.

Are you asking why there isn't a similar high demand for Xbox controllers with symmetrical stick layout?

That is hilarious !
You're getting this confused with a keyboard and mouse.

You're a shitty FPS player if you can't adjust your thumb an inch to play a game.

I've never liked 3rd party controllers. There always seems to be something a little off about them, loose sticks, shitty buttons, spongy triggers, etc. They usually look like shit too, like the one in this thread.
...They would already be asymmetrical, if they were.

Wow what an ugly controller, normally I associate hori with having good looking stuff.
Probably because 99% of people don't care enough so it wouldn't be worth it. I've never heard someone irl ever complain or care about it, and personally I can use the, DS, xbox, or WiiU pro placements and I don't even notice the difference placement wise unless I look down at the controller.
Stick tightness on the other hand is much important imo. Affects the feel so much, and I've had plenty of friends say how they dislike how loosey goosey the DS3's sticks were.

don't know why people are complaining about the symmetrical analog sticks on the DS4, i never had a problem adjusting between the PS4/PS4 sticks after playing on my X360 or vice versa. the DS4 IMO is better than the X360 controller in every way imaginable.
Will admit to just skimming seeing if anyone had actually bought one but I didn't see anyone mention that it has 6 L/R top buttons you can remap buttons and another button on the back. Pics on Play-Asia but I can't link from phone... I personally think this is the correct stick placement (360 controller is perfect) but not about to spend $75 to test out the quality when I am used to the DS4 now and actually just ordered a new blue one earlier this week.
Edit: Markman bought one of these and posted in Feb pick-ups. The reviews I saw didn't mention if the back button was a scuff controller style button or a mapping button. Also it seems most Hori pads are rapid fire, that may be the on off switch of reverse. It's marketed as a FPS controller but not sold in the US?

Are you joking ?
That thing looks like it'd be extremely awkward to hold. I laughed and said there's no fucking way that's the new controller, when I first saw it before the PS3 launch. What's the point of having 7inch dongs for grips ? Are they for resting your wrists on ? I don't get it.
If anyone likes this controller, there something wrong with you.

I thought it was funny that they mentioned video games lol! But anyways my main point to your news flash is where I highlighted. Your arms ARE SYMMETRICAL, may not be a perfect mirror-reflection (true for everything symmetrical body parts) due to other variables like your dominant arm being bigger than the other and etc. but to consider it asymmetrical.... Yeah... No.
Yeah, it's typically my controller of choice as well.
Not picture is a wave bird280 posts, and this hasn't been posted yet?
For shame, GAF.
For shame.

Also:
Indeed, Logitech's controller is by far the best controller for the PS2 and PS3 (they made one specifically for it too, you didn't have to just use the PC one - although the PC version is also my PC controller of choice).
Sony's "D-buttons" have always been horrible.
The best PS3 controller wasn't even a Sony controller.

It's actually very small
Or that's Shaq holding it.
Here's a CVG interview with Teiyu Goto the man who designed it.

Show me a man who doesn't like the Dualshock egonomics and i'll show you a man holding it wrong.

Asymmetric analogs is god awful for FPS. Your right thumb is skewed by 45 degrees so you can't make lateral or horizontal aims easily.
Wii U has the best set up for sticks. It's a shame that the buttons are too low on the Wii Pro controller.

I feel like the Pro Controller should've been somewhere between what it is and a screenless version of the Game Pad. If nothing else I want the same stick/face button positions, Game Pad's a bit better fo face button dominant games because you don't stretch your thumb in as far.

yeah, i dun fucked it up.
This so much. Back when I had a PS2 and a bunch of 3rd party controllers whenever friends were over I'd always stick with the official one. Those unofficial controllers sucked ass.

HOLY SHIT! lmao!
This has my interest. Hori makes good stuff.
The advantage to the asymmetrical thumb sticks is you get a better hold on the controller since your hands are naturally going to grasp the controller in different locations. Holding it in the same place on both sides isn't as secure, and therefore not as comfortable to play.
I like the DS4 quite a bit, but the Xbox controllers are just better built and better thought out.

Will wait for a better version with a touch pad. I like the DS4 quite a bit, but imo the 360 controller and its asymmetrical sticks is just more comfortable for me.

Well it doesn't. Have a look at the Killzone Shadow Fall video posted some messages above, the bug this Hori paddle creates is highly annoying. What were they thinking?
