>smaller distance>lower angleThis is all that's needed to make the symmetrical stick layout not suck ass. Snoy is too hyperfixated on staying true to their "tradition" where they've slammed two sticks under a heavily redesigned SNES controller in an era where people were still figuring out analog inputs that they're actively hindering the ergonomics of their controllers. Meanwhile Microsoft has been hammering the exact same asymmetrical layout for decades and every third party designer can't help but copy these two shit designs.It took Valve, a fucking PC gaming company, to finally show people how the proper controller ergonomics should look like. Hopefully, much like with the release of the Deck, it'll finally convince the market to do something different without any fear of upsetting investors now that Valve bit the bullet.
>>738019471Enlarge the image on your screen. Place your hands in front of the monitor where they would be when holding the controller. Place your thumbs over the various parts. Realise that the ergonomics utterly suck.
>>738019471the playstation controller is perfectly fine, i'm still playing on a dualshock 3 (the best controller ever made).All of this autism is the result of people holding the damn thing wrong and then complaining that it doesn't feel good.Valve also fell for the concave sticks meme, which is objectively dogshit.
>>738019471I hope you're right. Just looking at it, I'd prefer the Steam Controller's sticks to be in-line with the other control, more like the Steam Deck. But maybe it feels better in the hand?I've never liked any of the Dualshock layouts, ever.
>>738020069>I'd prefer the Steam Controller's sticks to be in-line with the other control, more like the Steam DeckThis is something I've been worrying about ever since the design was officially revealed. Deck had the right idea with having them basically in-line, but the Controller doesn't seem as bad as you'd think it would be once you trace those lines.
Dualsense edge is such a tasteful and sexy controller.
>>738020243Also clearly made by somebody who does in fact know what erogonics are.
>>738020243lol didn't even realize that was the scammy $200 variant with $20 stick modules that'll drift anyway. Still the same layout tho
>>738019471The only correct way to do thumbstick symmetry is radial symmetry, where the thumbstick is only symmetrical with itself.2 thumbsticks is bloat, it's just one-upmanship from Sony because Nintendo had 1 thumbstick. You can't do anything productive with a second thumbstick that isn't done better on any other input device.>Valve Proper ErgonomicsUnless you're talking about their prototype Steam Controllers for the 1.0 version, they also have shit ergonomics.>>738020243I can't think of a clearer illustration of interdepartmental budget wars, than the PS5 controller lineup.They should've just kept the DS4, given it USB C and focused on other shit, like ringless VR controllers.

>>738020069>>738020182See how the grips are bent inwards on the cunt' but straight on the 'eck? The face inputs are rotated to match that.
