How can some people have no clue how to use a controller?

Hell, some people on here can't use a controller.

"the PS3 has shitty triggers" no, the PS3 has fine triggers, just don't press the middle of the trigger. You put your finger between the R/L1 and R/L2 buttons/triggers and roll your finger up or down.

It's not so much rolling as pressing the bottom of the 1's and tops of the 2's with half your finger, it sounds like crazy talk but trust me.

You may be used to the PS3 triggers, but they annoy the hell out of me. It might be because I played the 360 so long, and its triggers are curved upward so my fingers stay comfortably in a sweet spot. I also now have trouble using the R1 and L1 buttons to shoot and aim down the sights in CoD. I used to have no problem at all, and I still don't on PS2, but for some reason the shoulder buttons of a PS3 controller are annoying.

OP, invert and southpaw your controls one day. See how you like it. And then you'll understand exactly why people who have never used a controller at all have a problem with it. It takes a while to get used to dual analog and knowing where the buttons are.

Re read my post 'cos you don't get it at all. You don't press the centre of the trigger to use it, thats when your finger slips off, you put it between R1 and R2 then use half your index finger to press the bottom or top of the button you want.

If you do that your fingers will never, ever slip off. Thats how you use your PS3 controller, it will also speed up your aiming and shooting 'cos your not making a huge movement from R2 (throwing a nade) to R1 (firing) or whatever, your just making a tiny movement.

Really? I use my middle fingers for the triggers and my index for the buttons. Whatever floats your boat then.

What kind of double jointed hands have you got? Granted I can do it aswell but man is it uncomfy to do it for then 5 seconds. (I do it on zombies in COD, aim, shoot and repair boards isn't easy)

As long as you have your finger (any finger) between R1 and R2 I would say your holding it right, it solves this common complaint of "the PS3 triggers suck" very quickly and very easily. I would also argue it speeds up your gameplay in things like COD as your not making huge movements with your fingers.

I don't and won't use a controller (or own a console). The console companies deliberately didn't go with mouse/keyboard so they could sell more expensive (and less effective) controllers instead, which led to the dumbed-down aimbotted console games you have now. So screw them, they can't have my money and I won't ever know how to use a controller. Not missing a thing imo.

Cool story, bro. Nobody cares about your PC elitism.

There is no way the OP can be serious. That's like assuming the first time someone uses a keyboard they can type 100 w/m, first time they sit down in a car they know what everything does, first time they do heart surgery the patient survives.

He must be some kind of super hero.
