@gamingonlinux We’ll have to wait for the size and thickness, and the angle of the grips, but this will probably not work for me. Symmetrical sticks placed in the middle of the controller, with touchpads on the way where my fat hands will likely activate them all the time…Sounds like a recipe for thumb and wrist pain for me personally :/

@thelinuxEXP When you look at your hands though, your thumbs naturally rest where the sticks are, so it might not be as bad as you think

@gamingonlinux @thelinuxEXP The layout looks quite similiar to the Steam Deck so I guess it'll be a matter of how you feel about that and the minor tweaks they've made like having angled track pads

@BrodieOnLinux @gamingonlinux Thé deck is fine, because the grips are horizontal and straight, and the sticks very close to the sides of the device, so the thumb rotation is natural.On that controller, it seems like the opposite

@thelinuxEXP @gamingonlinux I can see that as well, I think all we can do is wait and see what actual hands on results are like

@BrodieOnLinux @thelinuxEXP @gamingonlinux This is all part of the plot! Steam fakes leaking prototypes to have early returns and make the most out of it!

@BrodieOnLinux @thelinuxEXP I'm sure their designers would have thought of all this though, they're not amateurs

@gamingonlinux @thelinuxEXP Designers also came up with the N64 controller to be fair lol

@gamingonlinux @BrodieOnLinux Haha yeah, we’ll see. Ergonomics isn’t an exact science; and doesn’t always work for everyone: AirPods fall out the ears of a fair few people, the PS4 controller was a nightmare for some, and some think the Xbox one controller isn’t good, the Duke managed to get into production, etc..It can be an awesome controller for a bunch of people, and a nightmare for others :)

@thelinuxEXP @gamingonlinux I'm sure someone will get sent an early sample before they go up for sale

@BrodieOnLinux @gamingonlinux Yeah, and honestly, I’m just happy they’re making it! Even if it ends up not working for me personally, it’s another option that we know will work 100% with Linux, so that’s always good

@gamingonlinux @BrodieOnLinux @thelinuxEXP I prefer the layout of the PS4 controller to the xbox style, asymmetry doesn't work for me, and the Steam Controller 2 design looks similar to the PS4 but the sticks, buttons and dpad are too high up imho, if I had designed the controller, they would be about 50% lower (all of them) - but then I'm no designer so what do I know 🤣

@meatlotion @gamingonlinux @BrodieOnLinux Yeah, it really depends, for me, the DualShock 4 is one of the worst controllers I used, it just hurts my hands after 30 minutes, but we’re all anatomically different, so everyone will have different experiences

@thelinuxEXP @gamingonlinux @BrodieOnLinux absolutely, everyone is different, and it's great that there are choices of controllers to suit all hands.Do companies like Sony and Microsoft offer controllers laid out in various ways? It would be nice to see Sony for example offer their branded PS5 controller in either symmetric or assymetric (or make it modular to change it up) - rather than require the user to buy 3rd party stuff.

@meatlotion @thelinuxEXP @gamingonlinux There are 3rd party controllers that are high quality nowadays that do offer both
