Well, my preferred layout is actually the WiiU Pro controller, with both sticks at the top. But the Xbox I find more comfortable because I primarily play with the left stick and face buttons.
Additionally, when I use PS style controllers, if I more both sticks towards each other, my thumbs touch, and that is super annoying. The angle of the grips on an Xbox controller are also more comfortable than the nearly vertical grips on PS style controllers.
This is such a polarizing issue.
I don’t really mind the PlayStation analog stick layout, but so many people despise it.
I was a huge fan of the Steam Controller, and still use mine often. It has a thumb stick inverse of where it would be on the Xbox, and I love it.
What is the advantage to the Xbox layout?
