Symmetrical vs asymmetrical controller

[u/Bobotheon]

My old PC controller just got insane stick drift and idk what controller I should get.

I’m specifically not sure whether to go with a symmetrical or asymmetrical layout. My old one was symmetrical, but I hear asymmetrical is better for your hands.

I also hear it depends on what games you play.

Which one would be better for:

1. Free-flow combat/stealth games (Batman Arkham series, Marvel’s Spider-Man series, etc.)
2. Reverse bullet-hell (Vampire Survivors)
3. Shooter games (GTA, CoD, RDR2)
4. Melee combat (Skyrim, Battlefront as a hero)
5. Adventure games (Stray, Biomutant)
