Does anyone actually find concave sticks comfortable? Especially the Xbone's? These things practically rape my thumbs.
Who cares
I really liked the OGXbox/360 sticks. It was far less common to have my finger slip off compared to the DC/GC/PS2 pads. Dualshock 4 is pretty good though.

How do you make a finger slip off the stick
concave buttons, convex analog sticks
>>341512632
I'll rape your thumbs ;)
Convex are shit, Sony controllers in general are fucking awful.
>>341513687
I'll shove them up your ass.

>Muh platform wars
People who aren't retarded have no issue modifying their controllers.
>>341514347
I want to feel that controller.

I used to really like Playstation's convex analogs when I was a kid, but now I really like the 360's concave analogs, and can't stand Playstation convex.
Also, would Wii U pro count as concave or convex? That one feels great to use, too.

It has nothing to do with console wars you 12 year old fagit. It has to do with good controller design and bad controller desing.

What is bad about convex analog?
>>341515396
wii u is convex..how is there even any confusion there
>>341515753
Your thumbs slip off constantly if you sweat even slightly there is also literally no benefit whatsoever to them being convex versus being concave.
>>341512632
Wouldn't convex sticks cause your fingers to slip as opposed to a stick that can keep your finger in a groove?

I haven't had my thumb slip off once in the 15 or so years I've been using PS controllers. Haven't really used concave sticks so I can't say how I feel about those, but I've just never really felt there are issues with the convex sticks
>>341517139
it never really occurred to me it would be an issue for somebody. Maybe we hold the stick differently somehow
>>341516293
To be honest while playing I barely notice unless is some shit like this abomination
With the convex sticks your fingers roll around on the top, i find my ps3 controllers kind of gives the sensation you're moving a ball around under your thumb, and your thumbs stay at a constant distance over the whereas the Xbox provides more grip at the expense of an uneven motion
>>341516293
>slip off constantly if you sweat even slightly
Well now that's an exaggeration. Besides, companies like Battle Beaver make textures convex sticks - that should prevent your thumbs from slipping off them.
>no benefit
Comfort. Much more comfort. The sides of the analog sticks aren't digging into your fucking thumbs. And convex sticks allow for more precise camera movements.

Always forget the fucking pic
I meant this abomination

This is what I've been wondering about concave sticks. There is a sharp edge, so don't you kinda have to keep the puffy bit of your thumb in the middle or otherwise it will be uncomfortable. With a convex stick I just kinda rest it against the edge. And that makes me wonder how sweaty a thumb needs to be so that it will actually slip off, even with a light touch like that the surface has always felt grippy enough
I've been thinking about trying to mod my DS4 to use the superior old convex sticks. The sticks are the only thing I don't love about the controller.
Ps4's sticks are shit because they try to be convex and concave but it doesn't work.
Xbox one's sticks just suck.
The perfect stick is the xbox 360's.
I have an odd habit of periodically drumming the sides of my thumbs on things, it's some kind form of old. Everyone once in a while, I get the urge to tap my thumbs against something, be it my keyboard or mouse, or in this case, the thumb stick. It's easier to get just the edge of my thumb against concave sticks, so for that sole purpose concave. Honestly though, it doesn't matter to me: when I'm at home I'm usually playing pc with the xbox game pad if the game warrants ot, but when I'm at a friend's house I can just as easily switch to a controller with convex sticks
>>341512632
they were good before the xbox one added the stupid ass gam3r grip things around the edges that feel sharp and abrasive.
>>341518336
this thing as awful and people shill it constantly.
