Mostly cuz of the touchpad >_> You can use it to control the mouse with DS4Windows and that's awesome. I can sit on my couch and switch games without getting up as if I was a calorie thieving fat FUCK. This is great!

Oh I didn't know about that, that's kinda cool.

I went with the X1 controller since it's plug-and-play, and I already have the USB cables for it (though I don't know if the DS4 uses the same USB cables?)

I can't use those controllers because the plastic irritates my hands so I am still using a DS3. Same with the 360 controllers. I haven't tried a X1 controller.

Switch Pro has better stick placement though

Nope. Right stick above ABXY is better

Nope. Unless the right stick is used more often than the face buttons, the bottom location is right where it is supposed to be in order for the overall layout to be optimal.

It's less optimal

A tends to be the most used button, which is closer to the stick in the Wii U Pro layout. Less travel distance there. You can nudge up on it without even leaving the A button, and pulling down you'll be right above it

Stick on the bottom means extending your thumb at a wider angle, stretching your thumb's muscles more than the Wii U Pro layout. You get less range of movement and more fatigue with that

That's still not optimal. A properly laid out control scheme would not make a person have to contort their hands to perform a common action that requires the use of both the right stick and face button, period. There are 4 shoulder buttons as well as the clicking the stick for a total of 5 possibilities that would allow one to use the stick and press a button at the same time.

It's the most optimal setup that has ever been used for a controller, as it's the easiest one to use the right stick and face buttons together on.

Meh, I went with Xbox controllers over DS because it just works well in PC games (in terms of interface elements).

I wonder if you can mix and match controllers simultaneously? Like if you're playing Overcooked can one person use a DS4 and the other use an X1?

If I could put the Dualshock D-pad on my XBone controller, I'd be a happy man. Hate that damn thing.

Do the Elite controllers have better D-pads?

I imagine it would be kind of weird, the game would at the very least only be able to display one set of icons, right?

Don't most games only show the xbox controller icons if played on PC? (I haven't tried my DS4 lately on my PC)
