  Thank you for making the analog stick aligned like sensible human hands are. Fucking can’t stand the offset sticks on the Xbox.

  I understand the frustration, but personally I’ve always preferred the Xbox/Nintendo stick layout over the PlayStation one, personally. For many games, my thumbs are primarily on left thumb stick and face buttons. Obviously anything with camera controls is different, but the offset has never bothered me as much as extending both thumbs down to the sticks like on PlayStation, which sit where they are as a relic of the DualShock introducing analog sticks to an existing controller. (Though I’ll admit the PlayStation setup doesn’t bother me that much, it’s just slightly less comfortable in my opinion.)

  The Steam Deck work fine for me because both sticks are higher up, like where the left stick on Xbox/Nintendo falls, rather than below the D-Pad and face buttons like on PlayStation. With this one being somewhere in between, I think I’ll like it just fine. I’m excited to get my hands on one to find out.

    My issue on PlayStation controllers is my thumbs hit each other If both sticks are inward, for example moving right while turning left.

    I don’t have large hands so I don’t understand how it’s not a more widespread reported issue. Xbox style controllers completely solves this and things like my deck of course its on opposite sides of the screen

  I prefer the same PS layout, but some other people complain about the left stick not being under the ‘default’ thumb position, and thus prefer Xbox controllers.
