Just got a Series X and wow! Review

I’ve had a ps5 for a while and also a Xbox one X and too bad this isn’t selling better. Hardware is so so nice

I would like better build quality, but you just can’t beat the ergonomics of the Xbox controller.

The offset sticks are my favorite part. I like the PS controllers, but the sticks make my left thumb ache after a while.

As an fps player, I appreciate claw grip for dpad which is possible cause of bottom left thumb stick. Maybe try angleimg your hand different cause none of my thumbs are sore with both thumbs on the thumbs sticks.

Thanks, that’s rather helpful knowledge. I ordered a victrix PS5 controller recently with Xbox layout, but I’ll probably try your method in the meantime.

Does that mean I’m doing reverse claw on Xbox? I use my index to press ‘B’ on Xbox, and my middle finger for bumper and trigger.

Oh, that's considered claw grip in general. That's essentially the same as claw grip on your left hand which is more practical with the joystick at the bottom

Huh, neat! Claw grip feels so comfy on my right hand but so odd on the left. Maybe it’s hand dominance or something.
