I used to have an Xbox, and also a Gamecube. Both of these featured asymmetrical sticks, and I couldn't get on with it at all. The Gamecube was slightly easier, as the pad was smaller and the grips narrower. The original Xbox controller was an absolute joke. I have big hands, and even I found it uncomfortable after more than a few minutes, and those horrible, hard, rounded A/B/X/Y buttons were just plain stupid. The smaller Controller-S was a great improvement, but the sticks were still in the wrong place. Vibration/Touchsense aside, the only thing I would change about the SIXAXIS would be to make the top of the sticks concave, rather than convex (like the old PS1's Dual Analogue) - to prevent thumb slippage.

I've been waiting for this since the PS3 launch :-D The only "bad" thing is that I had to buy a new sixaxis two weeks ago. (Memo to brain : Don't let any two-year old play Super RubADub alone..) Damn!

I owned the regular xbox and also the 360, but i still like the dualshock and sixaxis alot more. I'm good with both controllers, but i can tell you that the asymetrical design doesn't do anything better. I actually think it's worse because of where it's puts the d-pad. Symetrical is better !! :) An asymetrical design doesn’t help with anything in a fps. I owned the regular xbox and also the 360, but i still like the dualshock and sixaxis alot more.
