It actually exists! An Xbox 360 controller with symmetrical analog sticks

As someone who has very tiny hands, even among women, I'll just jump in and say I absolutely love the 360 controller, and have never had any problems with it because of the size of my hands.unoleian said:
I've had that problem too. It takes awhile for me to get adjusted, and even then it never feels quite right.
I laughed when I read that, because I've been sitting here doing the exact same thing.
I have no problems with the 360 controller, it feels perfect in my hands, I never feel any kind of pain after gaming for a long time. The PS3 controller just feels uncomfortable in my hands. I also still have my gamecube and I find really easy to switch between my 360 and gamecube because the controller layouts are pretty similar.

My brother and I have geometry wars on our xbox 360 and neither of us have ever had any problems playing it with the xbox 360 controller.migo said:
One of my all time favorites was the Pelican N64 controller. It was FAT. Most N64 controllers were slim, no, this thing was monstrous. I barely needed to curl my fingers beyond relaxed.dathwampeer said:
I think that the PS3 controller is sleek, and the lined up sticks are alright. I grew up playing PS2 games, so I am used to the sony controllers, but I have played a lot of Xbox since i got it a few years back. The 360 controller fills out my hands better, the PS3 controller gives a sense of something not unlike nostalgia. I prefer the un-lined-up sticks on the 360, the PS3 configuration is good for platformers and action games.
I have both a PS3 and 360, and have been leaning towards the PS3 controller after a while of preferring the 360's. However, I would much rather see a compromise:
PS3:
Make the damn thing bigger! Geeze...
Make the triggers more like the 360. I bought little clip-on things that help tremendously, but that shouldn't be necessary.
360:
Symmetrical Analog Sticks - After playing with both, the PS3 layout just makes more sense to have both sticks symmetrical.
Improve the D-pad!!!! This thing sucks for responsiveness, and I find that with the layout it is even harder to accurately hit it.
This is just my opinion on the ergonomics for the controllers, a lot of it though comes down to just using them enough to get the hang of how they feel. If you use one type exclusively, of course it's going to be completely awkward if you switch controller types.

Im the same - The proportions of the 360 controller sits naturally in my hand, however, older (not old, just older, or used to older systems for long periods of time) would probably have gotten used to the symmetrical controller layout.Deadman Walkin said:
I prefer the 360 controller myself. The Playstation 3 controller barely has any weight. Whenever I hold it it feels like I'm holding some sort of cheap knockoff that I could break by simply moving the analog sticks. Oh, yeah, the analog sticks. I'm not really a fan of the "clumped together" design.
When it comes to the design of the 360 controller I LOVE the fact that the sticks are not near each other. The added weight gives the controller a comfortable feel and it generally feels better when being held. One criticism that I have of the controller is the material used on the sticks and the D-pad. The sticks look cheap when compared to the PS3 ones and don't even get me started on the D-pad.

Because then little children come along and try and eat your house, and you're forced to cook them instead. It becomes a huge mess.Berserker119 said:
Wow, am I the only one here who thinks this controller is not a bad idea besides the OP. I mean it let's you switch between the original Xbox 360 style and a PS3 type style. This lets people choose whichever style they want depending on their playing preference. I mean I'm okay with both styles but I can see how it would be difficult for some players to use certain controllers. I think that they should make something like this for the PS3 in which you could switch to an Xbox 360 control scheme so anyone could choose which playing style they want for either of the two consoles. The only downside I can see with this is that it's made by MadCatz which doesn't quite have a good history in creating quality products but it's still a good idea nontheless.
