The shape of the Edge is weird. That and the parallel sticks hurt my hands after an hour or so. I have big ass mitts as well so that may be the cause.

The 8bitdo ultimate is my favorite of all time though. I don't think I'll ever find a more perfect controller. Can use it for hours with 0 issues.

I do have a few issues with it:

  • the grippy texture underneath is a bit much. It holds on to grime really well and it's a challenge to clean. I'm not sure we actually needed a grippy texture at all to begin with, but if we did, I wish ease of cleaning had been a bigger concern.
  • the buttons under the controller and L2/R2 buttons are a tad too easy to press by accident.
  • The L2/R2 buttons are not ergonomic enough. I can tell the intent is that I put my indexes on L1/R1 and middle fingers on L2/R2. But it's uncomfortable to do that due to how much the L2/R2 buttons stick out. My hands just aren't that big, and even if they were, I just don't think it's a very natural position to outstretch both fingers like that. It puts too much strain on the ring and little fingers. So instead I only use my indexes for both triggers. Thankfully games rarely need you to do both at once. I wish L2/R2 were lower instead of trying to be flush with L1/R1.
  • I don't play car games, so the gradual triggers are nothing but a negative to me. They reduce my effectiveness when parrying in Elden Ring, for instance. I know most people do care about car games though so I don't know what they could have done about that without worsening reviews...
