It's not a combination of the 360 and dual shock controllers, please... The ds 4 is the ds3 with better triggers, and got stretched out simply because it had to to make room for the touch pad. End of story. Good controller, Sonys best by far, but essentially the same thing from 15 years ago when it first came out a anps1 controller.

Then you're obviously not paying attention subtleties even though I might have slightly exaggerated by saying its the PS3 and PS3 controller in one. In retrospect I would say it was kind of like them both in one, but more of a hint of what mattered in the 360 than a full blend. What I meant to say was I feel like the PS4 controller as far as ergonomics has the shooters covered from the back grip to trigger area covered similarly to the 360 where it counts. Its much, much better for shooters. Akin to the 360 the back grip has less of an arch than the DS3 which allows the hand to properly rest on the slight curve in the mold rather than a dramatic arch.  I dont feel the old DS feeling when I touch the controller. PS4 controller has a more circular palm grip which fits to the hand, which no DS controller had before. The Xbox one also changed the shape to a better form fit for the palm than even the DS4, but the button layouts were left wanting after such a great design change for the better. If you were to put the DS3 and the 360 controller together that would be essentially the PS4. The tip of the wings of the bottom of the controller also feel more rounded  rather than going into a cone like shape like they used to now its like a cylinder. The DS4 also feels larger in your hand than the DS3 and more shapely to the touch. Pay attention to ergonomics. If a third party were to put rubber grips on it that DS4 it would feel almost perfect, especially if it had gel grips. The Xbox one controller doesnt even need a grip sleeve because its formed perfectly for the hand (even better than the 360 in that way) but the DS4 benefits more overall after that little adjustment.
