Default The ergonomics behind the PS3 controller

The PS3 controller has arguably been more criticized than Nintendo’s forthcoming Revolution controller despite being more conservative. While its shape is exaggerated, follow the link to view a gif sequence that outlines the function behind the “boomerang” or “wheel” design.

Does this change your opinion on the controller?


just about anyone i've asked say they hated the new PS3 controller design. i can bet 9 out of 10 of you reading this agrees the dual-shock is still the greatest gaming controller for consoles. however, maybe once it's out and everyone can get a feel for it.. our opinions may change, in the meantime...

If you'll look carefully, this controller looks more like the 'Batman' symbol.

Anyway, I like its sleek and smooth design and it also looks very comfortable to me.

I'm one the 10 person who doesn't like the PS controller then. How can you have 4 buttons on top??? The d-pad is a no match for Super Nintendo's 't' shaped controls! No complains about the ergonomics of the PS controller, but that alone is not good enough.
