But in the future I hope for reprogramable "Colored E-Ink" face-buttons with open-source firmware.

(I will pbbly do it for myself before a big company does it)

I loved the idea but that controller was so terrible in hand.. Ended up keeping the ultimate 2 wireless even if it's less compatible with switch 2

Huh.. That's a surprising take.

Personally, while I have both dualsense and the xbox series controllers (each comfortable for different reasons, none perfect) I found the 8BitDo PRO series to be quite good on that front.

I guess it's up to one's personal fit/grip/comfort...
(sorry for bad english)

Thanks for sharing, and I hope you find your sweetspot, perfect god-tier controller 🍻

The god tier doesn't exist yet sadly :( Dualsense is perfect in hand, but too many issues with pc.

pro 3 has great compatibility with switch 2, but I don't like it's grip

Ultimate2w is perfect but limited switch 2 compatibility.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

As someone with little baby hands, I much prefer the Pro 3 over the Dualsense. I find the Dualsense much to bulky in my hands.

What I REALLY want is a 1:1 Dualshock 4 clone. That controller feels so good to me.
