This is a new design for my controller. I used the thumb grip on the previous controller and was happy to find that there was a slight improvement in the thumb-grip function.
I’m not a big thumbs-up person, but I noticed that when you move your thumb, the controller switches to the middle of your hand so I’m going to say thumbs-up-hand.
That’s right. Your thumb is actually the middle of your hand. The concept is that the thumb grip is the middle of your hand, and this is why you can’t grip the buttons with your thumb. This is also why you can’t use your thumb to control the analog sticks like you used to. I think we’ll be seeing more controllers with this thumb-grip design.
I’m all for any kind of innovation, but this is a bit of a bummer. I think the thumb-grip part is going to be a huge selling point for the controller, and I hope that it’s actually an option in the box. I actually like the idea of having that thumb-grip, but I think that it’s going to be a big design failure.
If you’re looking for a thumb-grip controller, the one you’ll be getting will have a rubberized version of the buttons so you can easily wipe the thumb. This is also why you can’t use the analog sticks like you used to. I think well be seeing more controllers with this thumb-grip design.Im all for any kind of innovation, but this is a bit of a bummer.
The good news is that we have a few more controllers coming our way that will have thumb-grip buttons! But for now, we will be sticking to the controllers that our testers are using right now.
The thumb-grip buttons on my Xbox and PS3 controllers were designed to make the thumb-grip a little more “tactile,” which I think most of us are used to. They make it easier to hold the controller if you have thumbs that are too big to do so. However, they also make it a bit easier to hit the buttons when you do have thumbs that are too big. This is the main reason why I have the Xbox controller.
The thumb-grip on my PS3 controller is also there to make it easier to hit the buttons when you have thumbs that are too big. If you have thumbs that are too big, a thumb-grip will make it easier to hit the buttons. If you don’t have thumbs that are too big, the thumb-grip will make it easier to hit the buttons.
I think what really annoys me about this is the part where they mention how they made the thumb-grip. They say, “While using the Xbox controller, we noticed that our thumb-grip was too big for most people”. There’s a catch to that because it’s not just that the thumb-grip is too big. It’s that it’s too big for me too.
We’ve heard this before: “You can be a console gamer and play Xbox 360 games in all your glory, but a controller gamer, well, you can’t.” We’ve even heard this before: “The controller is too complex and the buttons are too close together.
