sony will never admit their mistake and put the sticks in the right place.
How did Nintendo manage to decide on asymmetrical?How did Valve manage to come to the same conclusion then after a ton of testing and market research?
They are in the right place. Heck i could never get used to how MS wrongly placed their sticks on the Xbox controller as i always get a cramp in my hands when trying to play a game. I ended up getting a Wingman adaptor for my XSX just to be able to play games like Gears and Halo with a real controller like the Dualsense.sony will never admit their mistake and put the sticks in the right place.
My fave controller too.It's no coincidence that this is the only good controller Nintendo has ever made:

Why not use the Xbox or Switch Pro controller on PS5 then??one of the reasons I skipped ps5 this gen
Funny enough, I actually made a thread asking if this was possible several years ago, and people laughed at mewhynotboth.gif

If you don't mind added input lag.Funny enough, I actually made a thread asking if this was possible several years ago, and people laughed at me
It's great to know this is an option
If I end up getting a PS6, I will definitely do this
Ah yes. For my asymmetrical thumbs.asymmetrical is always superior
I'm glad we can at least agree that the symmetrical layout is far superior for twin-stick shooters!I've had people tell me symmetrical makes more sense because its less stress on each thumb, but that is retarded. you use your right hand thumb to push buttons 99.9% of the times, not control the stick
Do you rest your thumb over the buttons when you play most games?Ah yes. For my asymmetrical thumbs.
agreed!I'm glad we can at least agree that the symmetrical layout is far superior for twin-stick shooters!![]()
Fanboyism masquerading as legit opinion.Probably the most contrived debate in all of gaming
Steam Deck is the most ergonomic handheld, while Switch and Switch 2 with their assymmetrical sticks routinely cause hand cramps.How did Valve manage to come to the same conclusion then after a ton of testing and market research?
Most games I play I'm moving, and I use the sticks for those. So my thumbs are on the sticks 90% of the time. Face buttons are momentary presses.Do you rest your thumb over the buttons when you play most games?
Nani??Symmetrical is superior , you can use the d-pad without take your hand off the right stick .
this is nothing to do with the sticks and everything to do with the lack of ergonomics on the switch 2 for adult hands.Steam Deck is the most ergonomic handheld, while Switch and Switch 2 with their assymmetrical sticks routinely cause hand cramps.
This might just come down a personal preference as to where someone lays their thumb. My thumb hovers over the buttons 99% of the time.Most games I play I'm moving, and I use the sticks for those. So my thumbs are on the sticks 90% of the time. Face buttons are momentary presses.
Good news is you can get both layouts for every system out there.
Any FPS or 3PS would like a word with youasymmetrical is always superior
this is why the PS controllers suck
I've had people tell me symmetrical makes more sense because its less stress on each thumb, but that is retarded. you use your right hand thumb to push buttons 99.9% of the times, not control the stick
this is why xbox and the Nintendo pro controller are 1000000 x better than ps5 controller and one of the reasons I skipped ps5 this gen
the controllers are just awful and make no sense
What is a 3PSAny FPS or 3PS would like a word with you
No, they should not have.As I have said before, Sony should have moved to asymmetrical with the ps3 or ps4. But they didn't. And now they are stuck with symmetrical sticks as its part of their branding and identity. Therefore it will have symmetrical sticks
No, they should not have.
You should have posted something more intelligent. But you didn't. And I quoted you and you are now stuck with your ignorant comment as part of your reputation identity.
On 2D games. Or do you map the camera to face buttons like a Dreamcast?asymmetrical is always superior
