Well let me see if I can help you.

Right, I call them that because that's what I'm used to with the Xbox controller.

Since the majority of games I play are shooters, I need triggers, not buttons that barely have feedback to them. Hope that clears that up for you.

Do what? I sense a bit of fanboy coming through in this statement. I've played the Playstation, 1-3, and it's the same controller for each system. So if I've played all three systems, and shooters on all these systems, and I don't like the controller (because remember, this is MY opinion), how am I making an uneducated assumption? Stop being a fanboy, and accept that this is my opinion.

Unless you're holding it upside down or something.

Nope, I don't have midget hands, and again you're talking like a fanboy. This is the exact problem when it comes to debating anything, there always has to be a fanboy who comes in and tries to ruin the debate with insults. Like I said, when I'm using a PS controller, my thumb has to stretch to the analog stick, and it's cumbersome after ten minutes or so.

WRONG!

See the word there, PLACEMENT. I don't like the placement of the D-Pad and analog stick, the actual d-pad handles fine, it's just in a bad spot. Sounds like someone didn't read my whole post.

It's after writing this that I realize you didn't understand my post because of your rose tinted fanboy glasses. You love the controller, it sounds like, and that's fine. I'm not judging you, or your opinion on the controller. But this is my opinion: it sucks. It's uncomfortable to play with, and needs an update to evolve with all the games that are coming out.
