I held an Xbox controller for the better part of three years (First one). It wasn't terrible but I much prefer the PS controller.

Seriously. I've been using the DS since they came out with the original PS. I got an Xbox and it took me months before i got used to it. Got used to it but still didn't like it. It always felt uncomfortable to me. My hands just don't automatically go there. Sorry. To your glass test. My thumbs don't sit like that when i hold my controller. My hands are always relaxed unless Im playing a really tough game or something but my thumbs never feel like they are stretching by any means. You prefer offset, I prefer aligned.
I am really cool with this new design.
Speaking of problems with the controllers, I had some die on me. I wish they had replaceable rechargeable batteries. My house cordless phone died and I bought a new rechargeable battery for it from amazon for about 5 dollars. I didn't have to replace the whole phone.
Second issue, the face and shoulder buttons get "sticky" too easily.
I can't be the only person to have these problems. I hope they are fixed in the PS4 controllers.
Ok here is one for you all... Will the PS4 DUAL SHOCK have a lead to charge it of will it slot into the console to charge, therefor
saving on more wire's to the console
It was universal so you could always buy a longer one....
That controller looks sweet. I'm liking the bigger size. It's kinda like a cross between the DS3 and the 360 controller.
But a slot option is a great idea, when you just want to charge the controller
Yes you are free to read a magazine or ask your mum how was her day... But at least the controller is having warm time away from you
Still using the deafult wire :snicker
I just hook it up and leave the controller to charge on the table while I use the second one. Switch when needed
I broke my other one. So that's out of the option. :snicker
Chunky and ugly. Thank god it's only a protoype. I just hope Sony gives the controller proper triggers.
Looks like the dev kit controler looks ok.
Move integrated.
Nice, I guess.
Nice but it looks cheap to me lol.
This, then just make L2 + R2 and the sticks concave,(I think it's called) space out the space between the analog sticks just a tad bit, then make the PS Button shiny like the face buttons, and lastly I think they should add some type of grip to the handles on the controller because once you sweat alot on your controller and it's been a yr or so since you had it the controller gets too slippery. After these adds the controller would be perfection.
I can't help but feel that the touchpad is going to be used about as much as sixaxis was. In the first year they used it a decent amount after that hardly any games used it. I just don't really know what the hell it could be used for to be honest. Cool concept though I guess.
I'm more excited to see it now, we know what the basic concept behind it looks like...I want to see how they have refined the design for consumers.
