NGL: I hope that is not the final design because it looks rather cumbersome to actually hold.
So did the Deck but it ended up being pretty ergonomic in practice.
The angle looks a bit odd too, I’d expect those grips to be more prominent if it wasn’t angled down
It looks like the inbred cousin of the Xbox "Duke" that ended up being surprisingly ergonomical. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I genuinely hope it's something close to that. Most controllers are too small for me.
It'd be cool if controllers could just be adjustable size. Hand sizes are wild. My fingers are pretty short; my best friend has E.T. length fingers. We are otherwise about the same height and build.
True, especially in width. I remember being extremely disappointed when I bought a PS3 and could barely play it because the joysticks so close together that my thumbs were constantly touching. I think the total amount of hours played on this system was somewhere in the double digits. Biggest waste of money of my gaming career.
That's a neat idea. A little dial that flares out the shell where the palms are would be pretty sick. Maybe that's too complicated and heavy to be worth it, but what if it could be adjustable with a screwdriver?
Yeah, that's the one. The Original Xbox Duke and the X360 controller are the GOATs imo. The Xbox One controller is also fairly decent but it took a while to get used to it.
Fair enough, but the dpad on the 360 one was an improvement compared to the one from the Duke.
I was mostly ranking them in regards to general ergonomics. The Xbox One controller just feels more "slippery", the 360 had a better feel to it, probably because the handles were more rounded.
