I really don't see how some people are saying it looks like an Xbox controller.<br>If you look historically, the PS controller remained the same regarding layout with only the shape getting slightly different, it was the Xbox one that came close to the PlayStation.<br>Look at the buttons layout, from the Duke/S to the 360 those were re arranged to match the DualShock layout.<br><br>It's also funny to see how when the Duke was originally designed, the Right Thumb Stick wasn't being used on the DualShock.<br>People would just have the Left Stick and the Action Buttons as their primary ones, causing the hands to be off set the majority of time, ence it made sense (at the time) for the Duke to swap the D-Pad with the Left Stick because doing so would align the hands on the games being made at the time.<br><br>But during the 6th gen (PS2/Xbox) controller scheme philosophy started to change and it was ultimately cemented in the 7th.<br>Now the main most common used buttons were the Thumb Sticks and the Shoulder Buttons, the D-Pad and Action Buttons were the secondary ones leaving the PlayStation controller symmetric and the Xbox asymmetric, they just stubbornly sticked with that design because people got used to it but anyone claiming this asymmetric thing that keeps your hands offset is somehow ergonomic isn't playing with a full deck of cards.
