At least change the placement of the thumbsticks. Ergonomically the Dualshock has been the worst controller since it came out, and it hasn't changed an ounce since. At this point I no longer consider it striclty acceptable.

well... I can remember a time when the DS2 was the best controller^^ even a german PC-gaming magazine rated it best suited for PC gaming, one of my friends still uses it on his PC, while I am using the DS3 since they are standard equiped for PC use.



Yes,a new design would be cool but the boomerang thing is Fu%$#@! ugly.I still think the Dualshock 2 was the best,the dualshock 3 is too light and the r2 and l2 buttons suck.



 

What i want is better triggers,i want the sticks to not feel as loose,,just a little bigger and heavier.



 

Shrinking the dead zone on the thumbsticks would also be great.

Move the thumbsticks, make them more like a Nintendo stick in terms of sensitivity.... that'd go a long way toward making them better controllers.

 i think the DS3 its pretty good but i would switch some things... i bit like this...

i am sorry for the artwork... yeah i suck at image manipulation... but its valentines day and i was only able to do this because my wife was distracted... but i think you can see what i think would be the perfect layout for the Dual Shock 4...
its just switch the analog sticks with the other face buttons

if you pick up your controller that is the place your tombs will end up naturally...

the dual shock design it's perfect.



I'm perfectly fine with my PS3 controller and it's been like that since the PS1 and it'll continue to be fine with me.



This guy pretty much sums up my feelings in the PS3 v 360 controller comparison.

ESPECIALLY the accidental hitting R2/L2 when watching a movie.

The dualshock design is perfect, the buttons and the layout. But the 360 controller has improved on the size, comfort and things like concave analogue sticks and triggers.

 



The controllers have stayed the same for more than a decade, why change them now?



That's right, just one "d"

In b4 "it's addict"
