Why does Microsoft think that humans have a significantly longer left thumb than right? Did any Microsoft designers ever try holding their own product?

little hand OP got baby hands

>>713442810
Show me your grotesque left thumb that’s two inches longer than the right one you dumb dork

>>713442354 (OP)
youre supposed to have your other tumb on the face buttons
like when youre playing a platformer
because xbox has many platformers and games where you dont use the triggers and no shooters
it just makes sense

>>713442810
Go be stupid somewhere else

>>713443285
Lordy that xbox controller has no style at all. Just an ugly hunk of plastic.
>insert batteries here
Is it from the 80s? Batteries? Wtf

>>713443256
Why would Xbox design for 1980s style 2D arcade games? There are no popular modern games that make more use of the D-pad than the stick

Not only do you have dainty little numale hands, you have womanly brains in your skull. Impressive.

>>713444117
Explain why you Xbox faggots keep regurgitating the dick size insecurities. I don’t understand it. The PS5 controller is literally larger. I don’t know anyone with two different-sized thumbs but you faggots keep surprising.

>>713443607
>1980s style 2D arcade games
hmm

>>713443857
Not one person has answered the “why” and I’m starting to think you’re in a cult

>>713444305
>The PS5 controller is literally larger
If it's larger, why are you crying about the "smaller" Xbox controller being a problem?

>>713443285
their controllers were tiny before dualshock 4
I also like how the xbox feels more chunky, but the dualsense was a great impulse buy for me to pay ghost of tsunami on pc

>>713446252
I never mentioned size as an issue that was you Xbox dick-obsessed fags. I said it makes no sense that the left stick is way higher than the right stick. It’s not ergonomic unless you have some deformity where your left thumb is a couple inches longer.

>>713446403
>Xbox dick-obsessed fags
Not a single person mentioned dick or dick size except you, retard.
>deformity where your left thumb
The way you describe your problems with the controller seem to insist that it's a size issue.
>way higher than the right stick
This doesn't even make sense, do you have to have a deformity to use the d pad and face buttons on a PS controller? No. The Xbox controller is more suited to 3D titles, which is what most games are nowadays.

>>713442354 (OP)
>Microsoft
>think
lol
they did it because they wanted to copy the dreamcast and dualshock, that's all there is to it

>>713447350
>The Xbox controller is more suited to 3D titles, which is what most games are nowadays.
Every 3D title uses both sticks, retard.

>>713443515
the xbox controller has the better ergonomical shape, its a shame microsoft is full of pajeets and can't afford to include gyro and batteries in the controller

>>713447653
Do you know what "more" means?

>>713447759
Do you know what “both” means? Post your gross thumb

>best controller
>little to no game support
>is forgotten

xbox controller is comfortable as fuck. especially with regards to how the triggers are moulded to the shape of a resting finger at the back of the controller. not only is the dualsense bulky as fuck, but they kept the same garbage "triggers" as the dualshock 4, which aren't even triggers but more like flaps. sony have never been able to make a good controller.

>>713443256
Xbox released 2 platformers just this year.

>>713447832
I'm not the one having problems, bucko. :^) You made the thread crying like a bitch projecting about dick size.

>>713447746
>and batteries in the controller
removable batteries is a good thing though. i can just rotate my battery packs every 3-4 days and never have to plug my controller in

>>713447974
Projection is insane with you and your Xbox bronies
Quit whining and say something valuable—WHY is the left stick not centered with the right stick? HOW is this better?
No crying, no name-calling, just explain yourself if you can.

Probably bait thread but how are you complaining about the left joystick but not the buttons on the right? It’s the same radius on that side
How do you hold a controller?

If only the dpad wasn't so shit

>>713447746
i've had a ps5 for 6 months and barely use it but the controller battery has already degraded to where it only lasts about 4 hours before i get the low battery warning. either it's degraded or it was like that all along. but i've noticed it's significantly shorter than my xbox series controller with a cheap £10 dual battery pack from amazon which last about 12 hours before the vibration turns off due to low battery.

>>713448130
I hold it directly in front of me not at a 30-degree angle lmfao

>>713448117
>HOW is this better?
I said you're using it more often than the d pad in 3D games and you shit your diaper and didn't "accept" that answer lmao. In my eyes, it's more comfortable and natural when compared to the awkward angle that the PS controller asks for. It's really funny of you to ask for a civil answer when you were the faggot who couldn't stop being a baby.

A better question would be, how is the PS format better? Your thumbs are both at harsher angles instead of the movement stick(left) being more flush with your natural angle of your thumb.

>>713448415
Gaslighting doesn’t work on 4chan dumbass, I can literally just scroll up. You said off-centered sticks are “more” suitable to 3D titles? HOW..? You don’t use your D-pad much at all in modern titles, you use your sticks. Both sticks. At the same time. While playing…

>>713442354 (OP)
bro got baby aahh hands

>>713442354 (OP)
Most people has a joint that lets their thumb move up and down.
If you have trouble switching from the analog to face buttons no matter what controller you're using, you're fucked either way.

>>713448796
>>713443285
Dumb nigger

Microsoft can't design controllers for shit, not just hardware but software too. Xinput is a plague

>>713442354 (OP)
I have big hands so this controller is great for me

>>713442810
Even my 7 year old nephew can use an Xbox controller.

>>713448863
Maybe op doesn't have opposable thumbs?

>>713449665
No shit. It’s smaller. Now read the thread before embarrassing yourself again.

>>713449585
You have a bigger left hand than right? Wtf bro post pics

>>713448095
Or just plug in the controller when youre not using it?

>>713448717
>t. 60 iq

>>713442354 (OP)
luv me symmetrical sticks
luv me dpad on the level of the buttons
luv me ds4windows
luv me touchpad that works both as a mouse and can have buttons and keypresses assigned to them (as well as any other button)
luv me dinput and xinput (with ds4windows) support
luv me gyro
luv me dualsense
simple as

wireless has worse delay so no reason to play unplugged unless you sit on a couch like a fat fuck

>>713449841
Why take this thread seriously when it's clearly a fucking shitpost? You usually take bait this hard?

>>713450481
>he doesn't play wireless so he can spin in his chair while holding the controller when the character gets dizzy for extra immersion
do you even games?

>>713447887
This is one of the worst controllers, ever. Its one of the only ones that does not put the face buttons on the right outer part of the controller. The Steam Controller had a similar problem. This fucks with your muscle memory as usually you don't reach "down and in" to get to the 4 independent face buttons! There's a reason that almost everyone else, no matter where they put the sticks, symmetrical or asymmetrical, puts the buttons in the same place.

>>713450908
I agree, and you can't exactly claw grip this controller in any reasonable way either. Awful design and it always gets slurped up because it's ""unique"" and has a long battery life.

Sonygros...

>>713442354 (OP)
what are your hand measurements?

The only major difference is where the left thumb is for the hand's natural resting position. PS5: D-Pad, Xbox: Analog stick.
I prefer my thumb's natural position being on top of the analog stick as that has more precision movement options, which is easier to do if my thumb isn't already extended to reach it.

>>713450908
>muscle memory
So youve only ever used one type of controller and are convinced its the best

Its the most comfy controller to exist so far. Had a huge battery life. Good dpad and buttons.

There's the "le battury" meme, kek.

>Why does Microsoft think that humans have a significantly longer left thumb than right? Did any Microsoft designers ever try holding their own product?

since we're talking about controllers, i currently use my xbox controlled with a 3m long usb-c cable from my pc, but it's inconvenient to run a long cable across the room every time i want to play (my pc is connected to my tv and i play from my bed around 4m from the tv). i've noticed they no longer sell the xbox pc adapter, so what's the next best thing? a genetic bluetooth adapter or an 8bitdo adapter? what's the bluetooth latency like on xbox controllers vs wired?

>>713451235
>this kills the OP

>>713450152
Nah it's better not having to plug in at all and having 50 hour battery life vs 5 hour where you have to plug in all the time.

>>713451235
This has been my problem with Sony's piece of shit controllers. Not to mention the PS3 controller is a flimsy toy that you could probably smash in half with one hand. Worst triggers in existence.

>>713442354 (OP)
All the little handlets ITT need to be my boywife like the little sissies they are

>>713442354 (OP)
yeah xbox gamers are also windows gamers and you know what controller windows uses? a keyboard which is used almost exclusively by the left hand and has buttons all over the place
so naturally an xbox gamer will indeed have longer fingers on their left hand
if your left hand isnt bigger than your right hand you arent a gamer because windows and xbox are the only gaming stations

as a human my thumbs are opposable so they can be in different positions at my will
maybe as a half-chimp it's harder to use an analog stick

>>713452705
Xbox controller is smaller u dumb sissyboi

>>713453548
That's what I'm saying: it's a forced non-issue. I can tell it's forced because the solution is >>713453419 or pressing one thumb's pad on the top of one analogue stick and the other thumb's pad on the lip of the other thumbstick.

what >>713452598 said
one battery pack lasts at least 40 hours. swapping packs once or twice a week is better than plugging it in constantly. i also never have to play with it plugged in because i forgot to charge it

why does it only have a 5hr battery life? my mouse has 60 hours

>>713454932
why does your mouse only have a 60 hour battery life? mine lasts around 4 months with one AA

modern controllers all have one major problem in common. the thumbsticks are designed with concave centers and lipped edges as though they are intended to hold the thumb to the center of the joystick. no one actually uses a stick like this. your thumb interacts with the edges of the stick primarily, not the center.

>encounter wild ds fanboy, paralyse him with fear by moving thumb slightly
>encounter wild boxc fanboy, paralyse him with fear by moving thumb slightly.
>paralyse with thumb = paralyse with thumb
>ds = boxc
They are the same controller.

>>713456132
That's exactly why this >>713451235 is a problem with PS controllers.

>>713454443
The vast majority of people do in some fashion. It's not some convoluted maneuver to control the stick. It's just moving your finger to the edge of the stick in the direction you want to move it and pushing accordingly.

>>713454932
Ask Sony, that's standard for dualshock 4/dualsense
