It is quite possibly the least ergonomic controller I’ve used. I like to sit at my desk with my controller on my lap right in front of my stomach. The grips are so vertical that my wrists are almost at a 90 degree angle. The only comfortable way for me to hold it is at the top basically squeezing it, and at the bottom almost not touching it at all to get a decent angle on it. Even then I have to sit back to give enough room to stretch out my arms so I don’t destroy my wrists.
The joysticks are also very far inwards. My hands aren’t gigantic, but they’re definitely not small. I’m a 6’1” guy for reference. I’ve found that to comfortably use the joysticks my hands need to be positioned more on top of the controller than along the side. So pair the weird angle with my hands being on top of the controller and I HATE the ergonomics of the thing.
The trackpads are cool to some people, but I don’t care since my mouse is right next to me. The software doesn’t even work right and I’m still waiting for them to fix my issue.
But besides the horrendous ergonomics I like it enough to use it. Eventually when the elite series 3 comes out I’ll probably switch to it (as long as it’s got TMR)
