    That’s funny, I can’t stand the Xbox form factor as the sticks are super weirdly positioned. It’s my #1 problem with Xbox controllers

      See I’m the opposite, I wish both sticks were in the upper position because that’s where my thumbs go naturally.

      Trying to use a PS stick layout is impossible to be precise because it feels like my thumbs are always about to slip off and I have to stretch them into an unnatural 90 degree angle inward just to find the sticks.

      Like are you all double jointed? Am I the only one that thinks the upper position is the logical and most ergonomic design for the human hand?

      Xbox sucks cause it tried to do both, I’ll agree on that. Steam Deck got it right the first time up.

        I find my hands too far apart when they’re in the upper areas tbh. My thumb has to stretch a pretty considerable amount to use the left stick on an Xbox layout.

        I think it’s probably a lot to do with hand sizes too. My hands aren’t tiny, but they’re not huge either, so the stick position works pretty well for me.

        I like Scuff controllers because you can choose between body styles and stick layouts, which makes it a lot easier to find what works for you.
