If you have different thumb lengths, you should use asymmetrical.

If you're a normal human being, your thumbs are the same length, so they should always prefer symmetrical. People suggesting otherwise are just being fans. If you argue the thumbs naturally go to the top, you can't argue that they should be offset, you can only argue the sticks should be above the other buttons - BOTH sticks, not one.

This is hillarious. How do you hold your controller? I hold it like a normal person, left thumb on the stick, right thumb on the buttons. Guess what? Those are on the same position.

I hold both sticks, you must only play games that have fixed cameras...

I agree that for games that demand heavy manual camera control symmetrical sticks may be more comfortable. Third person and first person shooters for example. For every other game, asymmetrical sticks is the way to go. This includes: sports games, racing games, RPGs, action games, fighting games, platformers, etc...

So we've come to agree that fixed cam = asymmetrical. free cam = symmetrical. I'm good with that.
