Yup, best controller design for my hands. If only the quality of its components wasn‘t so crap. Drifting sticks, squeaky triggers, double pressing buttons, I had it all. I thought an elite controller would be of better quality, got one, and the plastic of the right shoulder button straightup broke within a year. No dropping, no throwing, it just broke from normal use lol
The form‘s great, the buttons (when they work), are great, the sticks (when they work) are great. It just doesn‘t last long past warranty. Thankfully they‘re on sale every year for like 35 bucks but I‘d rather they were a tad more expensive with better quality components… I guess they don‘t mind people having to buy more of them either though…
The XBone controller is more comfortable, but I really like the analog/adaptive triggers on the DualSense. That gives it the edge imo. The center button/pad can also be cool if used correctly.
I recently played using one of the new xbox controllers, I much prefer the ps5 controllers, with or without the fancy force feedback. The old 360 controllers were great compared to the playstation controllers at the time, but the new ones don’t feel good.
I have never used Xbox controllers so I can’t speak for their ergonomics or ease of use.
But I definitely find the DualSense controller to be more aesthetically appealing, partly due to its symmetry, and I have to admit, as silly as it sounds, that it was the second most important factor when purchasing PS4 Pro around a decade ago.
The first most important factor being the games catalogue.
While moving to the current generation, I did give Xbox Series X an honest consideration. But the games catalogue made me choose PS5 over it once again.
In hindsight, especially after owning a Steam Deck, I am glad I stuck with PlayStation.
Its almost as bad as playing on the wrong invert y setting.
Yikes! I never thought about controller layouts in this way.
lol, the ps5 controller alone is enough reason to purchase over the xbox. I have both and games are just more fun on the PS5, its better in every way.
meh, the controller is the only thing i prefer on xbox.

I guess at this point, with muscle memory playing a large part, that what you had before is what you’ll have next.
I cant use the PlayStation controllers, I need the asymmetry of the sticks. Its almost as bad as playing on the wrong invert y setting.
