Worst of both worlds. Fucking up the placement of the face buttons is anathema - its one of the two major reasons that the Steam Controller 1.0 (the other being the lack of RT stick. Touchpads are great, but not equivalent). was less than desirable and hard to adjust. Almost every other controller regardless of RStick locale, has the face buttons on the upper, outer side of the controller.

I’m talking about majority left stick + face buttons.

Most games use the d-pad & right stick less than the left stick & face buttons.

That’s why left stick + face buttons on top (Xbox style) is best. It’s the 2/4’s of the controller you’re using more often.

It's not about exclusively, it's about the fact that there's very few games where your thumb is on the right stick constantly. And honestly, either way right stick positioned below isn't bad because you're mostly using the right stick to flick left and right and that's easier in the lower position since your thumb is aligned. Left stick below feels off how you have to effectively move your thumb left and right to move your character forward and back.

I prefer xbox pad over ps pad, but when I think about it, it might be more about the overall shape than analog/d-pad placement, and I haven't tried the right (xbox shape but with symmetric analogs), so I can't really say.

Since you need to push it from above the stick, having it on the left makes it a bit easier to push. On a symmetrical controller I feel like I always need to move my thumb a bit or put a little more strength into it.
Basically, what I'm saying is that the right answer is both.

What? No seriously, what does this mean? In a 2D game it makes sense, but it also makes sense to use the dpad to make exact movements in a natural position instead of whatever you're talking about.

It always boils down to two camps:
>left stick on top is better ergonomics cus muh feelings something something primary placement something something nobody uses dpad any more
>left stick on bottom is better ergonomics because the different elevations the thumb naturally rests at ensures that it's at the optimal angle for both positions, it ensures the dpad is able to be rocked by your thumb instead of simply being used as buttons, ensures that your hands are symmetrically aligned, which improves long-term comfort and reduces stress, makes it easier for alternative control schemes (whether we're talking about clawgrip, southpaw, or swapping face button/dpad usage, among other options), as well as providing more room for extra features, such as the touch pad in the center of PS controllers for the last decade or so
This isn't hyperbole by the way, it's LITERALLY feefees vs actual reasoning. Every time.
By the way, analog-on-top controllers can still be pleasant; picrel is my favorite controller of all time. It coincidentally basically never uses the dpad (I'm not even sure if you can use the dpad with the analog stick for different things - fifth gen so it was often only one or the other) but the specific comfort of a specific controller is irrelevant to the actual, objective nature of a generalized scheme. Keep that in mind before you REEEEEE at this post.

If the tip of your thumb can't control the stick, you're treating the face buttons like a dpad, no way in hell you're able to push a single button without hitting the ones nearby with your entire thumb covering them.

Flick stick can also be done with practically anything other than a second stick and still be functional.

In the former case, gyro + flick stick can compete with m+kb precisely because gyro is good enough for precision with flick stick making the larger motions. If soome madlad were to, say, have a mouse with an analog stick on the side and set up flick stick with that and just use the mouse for precision, it may well outdo gyro+flick stick by an extremely large margin instead of the much closer margin it is right now, but I don't think that means gyro is "unfiltered shit" in any sense; it's objectively more control than just two analog sticks. In the latter meaning of your quote, if you had made a typo, then uh no you're wrong. You could probably use gyro with 2 dpads and outperform two analog sticks with gyro.

Lmao your strawman faggotry is so fucking retarded. For someone like me who prefers to control joysticks with the middle of his thumb, stick on top is ergonomically better. What the shit do you mean there is "less distance for the thumb to travel"? When using a joystick is on the bottom you literally have to stretch your thumb further since it is further away. In contrast, stick on top involves far less stressing if you just rest the middle of your thumb on it. Good god you are obnoxious

Have you even tried? Seriously? It almost seems like you left-on-top fags have never actually used the alternative before. The way your (yes, YOUR) hands naturally rest when holding a controller has the angles your thumb can be at vary between the two different possible elevations for both possible positions. You have position 1 and 2, "top and bottom", and elevation 1 and 2, "stick and dpad". Now, if you map these 4 possible locations in space, you wind up with two axes - one going from top-stick to bottom-dpad and one going from top-dpad to bottom-stick. When holding the controller in either configuration, your thumb will be extended further laterally toward the bottom position and extended less when in the top position. But in addition, your hand is NOT resting perfectly in-line with the face of the controller- it's at an acute angle with the top of the controller. This means that the two axes drawn by the two positions will either increase or decrease the distance traveled based on that angle. Top-stick bottom-dpad has and axis which is more obtuse than top-dpad bottom-stick with the thumb-motion plane, and top-dpad bottom-stick has a far more acute angle, making the distance traveled less.

The Wii U pro controller as far as I'm aware just doesn't have a gyro, since that is only present on the gamepad.

So since the Wii U pro controller doesn't have a gyro, it's not good for shooters, which is what I meant by "No gyro".
