I find my hands too far apart when they’re in the upper areas tbh. My thumb has to stretch a pretty considerable amount to use the left stick on an Xbox layout.

I think it’s probably a lot to do with hand sizes too. My hands aren’t tiny, but they’re not huge either, so the stick position works pretty well for me.

I like Scuff controllers because you can choose between body styles and stick layouts, which makes it a lot easier to find what works for you.
