The DualShock is legendary among PlayStation fans. Heck, there was even an outcry among PS followers when the PlayStation 3 launched without rumble in only a Sixaxis variety.
But things change. My hands have grown since my teenage years with the PS2. Or maybe they've just grown tired of the finger cramping from this undersized controller. There are better alternatives. Here's three for fans of the ergonomic Xbox 360 controller and another for PC fans.

Review - The PowerA Advantage Wired Controller for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - Sonic Style comes in many shades of blue
SEGA are getting the PowerA treatment, with a line of four Sonic accessories for your Xbox and Switch, including a PowerA Sonic Controller.
Controller looks sweet, nicely detailed with the stars, checker scheme and of course sonic.
I liked the Boomerang design, my hands r also too big, 4 the DS3 thats part of the reason y i shall probably buy Move at sum point
the DS3 and 360 controller are the same width across
pretty much the same hight
the differences, 360 has triggers, analog placement, and its doesn't bend on the palm area
DS3 no triggers, different analog placement , bends at the palm area
By the way a sisaxis and a 360 controller without batteries weight is the same
the DS3 and 360 controller with batteries weight is the same
for people that use weight and issue
also on IGN scope podcast the host said he like Dual shock controller untill the xbox controller and said they didn't know better before xbox which is funny because the 360 controller is the slim update on the dreamcast controller with another analog stick
i don't care if you like one more than the other but don't say BS to rationalize it. I like DS3 because I had PS1 PS2 PS3 and i played on 360 many times and if that was the one i played more then i would like it more
I have always enjoyed the Dualshock. But why this title seems like flamebait is beyond me.
I'm not a fan of the DS3 myself.....so much so, that if a game launches for both platforms, I always get the 360 version. Not only is the DS3 too small, but the analog sticks are too close for me and the convex design always seems to make my thumbs slip off during play.....I've got a Nyko Raven controller with the 360 layout on preorder, I'm hoping it is a solid controller, because I really do like my PS3, but until I find a controller comparable to the 360's, I'm only going to use my ps3 for it's exclusive titles.
I like the dualshock controller because it's the most familiar and comfortable controller I've been using. It's pretty damn good to use it especially with FPS's. I'm slowly getting used to the 360 controller as well but I do prefer the DS3 because it just feels natural.
