I've been looking for a high end (affordable) controller option for PC gaming. This one sounds wonderful, except 1 thing. The layout. I might as well buy a PS5 controller. Same price, the layout I want, but unfortunately no perks made for PC gaming. Why do aftermarket controller companies assume we all want X-Box controllers?! The ones that do make them in the PS format, don't have the best features and cost more than the native controller. I'm open to suggestions, but I haven't found a less expensive option with great features for PC gaming yet.

That's simple, because the Xbox layout is superior. I play Xbox and PS and Switch, the Xbox layout feels more natural. Switch and PS are tied for 2nd, though the Switch Pro controller edges out the PS5 controller in terms of feel and comfort. The only thing I enjoy about the PS5 controller over the others is the features like built in mic and adaptive triggers.

"Why would they assume we all want X-Box controller layouts?"

Probably because they all have human hands like us so it makes sense why they would make a controller that fits human hands rather than the dog shit layout Sony keeps for the sole purpose of trying to differentiate itself instead of admitting a mistake.

Kind of like why it took them so long to sell their games on PC. Strictly out of sheer stubborn stupidity and outsized ego.

I was going thru xbox series s controllers so much i almost gave up gaming. That is until i found the Gamesir G7se. I have had it for a year now and it is flawless, not even a flicker of drift. Ive dropped it a couple times, its flawless. On top of all that it was only 40 bux. It being wired does not bother me at all. Shame on these big videogame companies for not using hall effect, it is flawless. They obviously want people buying controllers over and over.
