Too bad it is not ergonomic.  Your thumb naturally falls where the d-pad is, but very few games use the d-pad as primary input anymore.  Back on the PS1, that was ok because a lot more games actually used the d-pad.  The d-pad should have been moved somewhere else by now with the changes that have come to games.

That is why controllers need to change over time.  Because games change, and there are better ways to handle those changes than with a controller that was designed with games 15 years ago in mind.


That is all preference, to me it feels perfectly ergonomic and my thumb doesn't move naturally to the d-pad and it is the same way for a lot of Playstation gamers.  Saying the PS4 controller was designed with games 15 years ago in mind is a very big stretch and I think holds no merit.  Just a question were you a PS2 or a Orginal Xbox gamer? (Can't call it Xbox 1 anymore xD)
