I’m like 7.75 but I just fingertip grip everything

7.8 or so for me, but a full 4.25 of that is my palm, and let’s not even talk about width, so yeah, nothing works well for my hands.

This actually looks like a really comfortable controller for games that require minute, digital movement.

I used to have one. I wrote about in (Part 1)

It’s like a joystick, but it’s a ball instead of a stick so you kind of hold it by gripping down on it.
It looks like it would be terrible, but it’s actually suprising good for most things.
It works well with shooters and beatemups, but is uncomfortable for platform games.

It’s good for shooters. So it makes sense that the person in the video is playing Star Soldier with it.

Is there anything the Game Boy can’t do

oh my god

The label is faded, but it looks like we’re dealing with another BOY. Any idea what the keyboard is called? I looked it up and found the answer immediately. It’s called the Workboy

The grip girth and stick placement tweak is really strange. I don’t know what they were trying to correct from the Dualshock 4, and it seems like it overextends the thumbs slightly on everyone I’ve seen use it.

you look at something like that, your hands start to hurt just conceptualizing it, and it’s not so surprising that the Sixaxis was as bad and conservative as it ended up

it could have worked!

I’ve used this thing before and it’s not uncomfortable

“but the face buttons are placed somewhat sanely on that thing”

hey, shut up
