I love this guy's reviews...

So the consensus at the moment is as follows:

-The 360 controller is ergonomically superior
-Truant his midget hands

[Truant]

Which begs a question.

Since these controllers have the same number of buttons (excluding the xbox button, etc.),

Why doesn't someone make a universal controller adapter so you can use whatever controller is most comfortable?


And actually funk, I have very large hands, which is why the 360 controller is uncomfortable for me. It requires me to cramp my hands up quite small to hold onto the controller. Next time I'm over at Xou's I'll try a couple different grips, but so far I've had no luck.

9 out of 10 people with Man Hands favor the 360 Controller


If you haven't tried the PS3 controller but liked the PS2 controller, the difference is the triggers which weren't on the PS2 at all so you have to work the lower buttons differently than in the past and with the way they curve inward, it's much less secure/comfortable than the 360's outward curved triggers that allow for fingertip precision.

LOL, well played!

I picked up my ps2 controller earlier. It's interesting, I don't even have to hold the controller. I don't grip it at all. It rests on the tops of my ancillary digits while my index fingers cover the "trigger" buttons and my thumbs rest on the analog sticks (or the buttons).

My fatigue issue with the 360 controller is almost exclusively left hand, and as a result of actually gripping the controller.

This has intrigued me, I think I'm going to take a picture of my grip with each controller and observe it and see what the deal is.

it is common knowledge that truant's hands are tiny mangled claws

i dont personally see there being enough demand for a market. I wouldnt put it past Sony or MS to shit bricks over it too if there was a retail adapter that allowed their controller to operate on a competitor's system

[Aslanna]

Not sure why they would care really. They're still making money on the sale regardless of which system someone wanted to use it on.

I just wish someone would make a reliable adapter for the Rock Band guitar to work in GH3! I want to get those achievements, but holy jesus fucking christ hell on a stick, I hate the GH guitars now after playing with the Rock Band one so long.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
