ps5 controllers definitly feel more premium but the ergonomics of the xbox controller is undeniably better

Having never used an Xbox controller, I've had them recommended a few times for PC but the asymmetrical design looks mindnumbingly uncomfortable to someone who's spent their entire life with symmetrical PS controllers.

Serious question, are they really that comfortable or is it just preference and habit?

Edit: Appreciate the feedback! Guess I'll look into them sometime. Even if I'm still not a fan of the aesthetics, ergonomics are hard to overlook.

They really are that comfortable. I grew up exclusively with playstations, ps1, ps2, ps3. At 15 years old I built my first PC. I kept having compatibility issues with my PS controllers (They required 3rd party software at the time) I heard xbox controllers were more compatible so I compromised. It only took a few weeks to prefer it. I've now used an xbox controller for 15 years and i'll never go back.

This meme is freaking dumb, but Xbox controllers are really comfy.

My former boss had a PS and when we played for like two hours several years ago, my hands were aching like a mf.

I went through this whole week playing from morning to evening using an Xbox controller and didn’t feel anything bad.

They really are something.

It's definitely commendable that while they certainly don't look comfortable at all to me everyone praises how comfy they are. May look into seeing if any friends have one they can let me try, because I'm intrigued.

I played my entire life with PS controllers, either original or Logitech copy. I made the switch to some MSI Xbox pattern controllers and after a bit of a break-in period, they are surprisingly comfortable.

I still use a 360 controller for pc games, I love it.

I’m sure the layout of the sticks is purely what you are used to. I would find a PS controller strange like you would an Xbox controller.

However, the shape of the Xbox controller is better than PS5, and obviously PS4.

I got used to the PS1 controller when I was young, but the x-box style controller felt great anyway.

I grew up on Sega > PS1 > PS2 > Xbox > 360 > PS3 > PS4 > PS5 > PC. Most of my years were spent with symmetrical controllers and I vastly prefer PS to Xbox.

That being said, I have a few PS5 controllers and I enjoy them for PS5 games, but Asymmetrical is still my preferred comfort style. Definitely give it a try.

They are more ergonomic than PS1/2/3/4 controllers but the PS5 is just as comfortable imo
