The controller has had several improvements to that of the 360 controller. I actually really liked the 360 controller but when going back to it it really feels kinda cheap compared to a series controller.

The dpad, bumpers and triggers have improved. The little textured thumb grips are good. Overall the ergonomics improved as well and I think just carried over from the Xbox One controller.

I read somewhere once that the Xbox One controller had millions of dollars in r&d for its ergonomics so I can see why they stuck with that design. In fact I’d say it’s a really good form fact considering that both PS and Nintendo have taken inspiration from it.

You can’t tell me if you compare a previous PS controller and the current one that it hasn’t taken some influence from Xbox controllers.

I'm so tired of people claiming that the Xbox controller hasn't changed since the 360. It has changed, it's just the 360 controller had no fundamental issues so the changes have been minor. I think takes like this are the reason some companies think they need to reinvent the wheel every five years just to keep people interested.

I'm just glad sony kept the thumb sticks next to each other, I've never liked the Xbox thumb stick placement

Said as if Sony hadn't been designing controllers for even longer, and spending heavily on R&D. Childish tribal attitudes make these threads pointless.

Mostly kids who haven't been around for most of the console controller changes over time, they don't know they're born and think they've invented gaming. Bless em, they don't know no better
