how are my hands unsymmetrical? When playing a game, the buttons one uses the most are the left joystick and the right buttons. Thus it is most comfortable to have your hands resting evenly in the same place. You know, symetrical. But playing on controllers with the joysticks both down below, my hands start to hurt after an hour or more. Kind of like when playing on a small controller like a 3DS or something. My hands are cramped and in an awkward angle. If your hands are rensting comfortable on the conrollers, you thumbs are resting nicely more vertically. YOu have to move your thumbs down to the joysticks on those controller I listed. Thus just having your thumbs in position, let alone using them, is working your muscles. It's a less natural position. |
When I grab a DS controller, my thumbs are resting almost completely between the buttons and analog sticks. Right thumb above the square and X, with my left thumb above the right and down buttons on the Dpad. Barely have to move my thumbs at all to comfortably hit everything. And I guess you don't play FPSs or 3rd person games where you control the camera if you barely use the 2nd stick. I think symmetrical controllers are great for symmetrical hands. Sure I could still game using a XBO controller, but thankfully I don't have to, since I greatly prefer the symmetrical sticks.
