Symmetrical or asymmetrical analogue sticks?

Haha sure. But now you mention it, I never found the original PS controller very nice to use.

Dunno what's going on with your hands, but my thumbs are naturally away from my index fingers. As I said they sit much closer to the analog sticks than where the D-pad is. I'm not even stretching, heck the analog stick actually sits more to the bottom of my nail.

But good to know my hands are 'wrong' and kind of Sony to make a controller to fit my 'wrong' hands :)

Do you really think that Sony made a controller where it'd be more comfortable to play with an analog stick three full years before they actually put one on the controller?

It's not my hands or your hands, it's the way it was designed.  And no matter what you say, unless your hands are indeed deformed, that controller is ergonomically designed to have the D-Pad the default option.

Did you really think early controllers were ergonomically designed?

Of course the later ones were designed with the analog sticks as primary input in mind.
