It is 2023 there is no reason 3rd party controllers need to be this ugly.
Why is the Xbox layout seemingly more popular than Playstations layout?
Ergonomics vs tradition
The Playstation layout has always felt more ergonomic to me.
O agree with you. But there’s one place where the Xbox layout is better. With the d pad at the bottom you can reach over with your right thumb and use it in addition to using your left. This opens up options for a lot of games that require precise or intricate input. But ergonomically speaking I e always preferred PlayStation.
They misplaced the left stick and d-pad.
€230 for a controller?
“pro”
I want to map multiple inputs to a single button. Like Steam Controller or Steam Deck. I got the Dualsense Edge and the lack of this feature was a major disappointment.
I like the asymmetrical sticks but the price is no even close to worth it.
More expensive than the edge…
