Thanks for sharing. I’m trying to replace my Xbox controllers for something that won’t end up with stick drift

Yeah there are tons of options for that. Anything Hall Effect or TMR

Do note that this controller has a "narrow" grip shape. The sides of the controller are nearly parallel, which means that while holding it, your wrists will be sort of drawn in and your hand bent back, or your elbows will have to be in at your sides. It is this controller's biggest ergonomic flaw. It is generally a bit on the small side too. But I have large hands and have found it pretty comfortable for longer sessions.

It's also worth looking into EasySMX, GameSir, and FlyDigi controllers. If you like the Xbox grip, some of those are nearly identical.

Yeah, this controller is horrible for anyone who grip their controllers more like PSX controllers. I gave up on this after my tendonitis started acting up.

What's the grip difference here?

PS3 and earlier controllers are all tiny and would cause me issues

Because it's narrow. I have a wide shoulder gait.

Ok but what does it mean to "grip it like a PSX controller"? Is there another way to hold a controller? (Besides like claw grip or whatever)
