However I have to disagree on the trackpad position. The upper part of most controllers is where your thumb naturally sit. A thumbstick or trackpad require much more precision than buttons, therefore they should be placed at the most natural and optimal area on a controller. It's just much more precise and ergonomic.
The Wii U controllers got that right. The Pro Controller's thumbstick layout feels amazing for shooters. Sure the button placement gets some time getting used to, but it's no big deal.
That's a sweeping statement on a topic I imagine you're in the minority on, given the design of most analog-besticked controllers. Regardless, I did say
I'd like it if they were swapped instead of generalizing like that. The position the right trackpad is in was not natural for me.
The left trackpad might be unnecessary, but for lefties and ambidextrous people. Personally, my left hand can't muster the fine motor control to make the difference in precision between an analog stick and the trackpad worth a damn.
