The science behind the Xbox Controller and why the left thumbstick placement is superior

I will die on this hill till the end of time. The ps5 controller is the the most comfortable of all Playstation controllers but will never compare to Xbox due to left joystick location.

[Hogg] Everyone please pour one out for my mans here. Nothing happened to him, he’s just had to diligently operate the pitch clock for 450 pitches over 3.5 hours, and this game ain’t even close to over yet. And, yes, they use an XBox controller for the pitch timer here.

Steam Controller Price Leaked By Early Review - and It’s Expensive

If it comes with a solid warranty period i might go for it. It seems pretty close to an "end game" pc controller to me and a big upgrade from my 5 year old xbox wireless controller. How good the track pads are is my biggest concern.
