My buddy swore the Xbox controller works better for platformers so I tried it for a week
He plays a lot of Celeste and Hollow Knight on his PC with an Xbox pad and kept saying the joystick placement is better for precise movements. I borrowed his controller and gave it a shot on my Switch using an adapter. Honestly after 7 days I still prefer the PlayStation layout for 2D games. My thumbs kept slipping on the Xbox stick. Has anyone else noticed a big difference or does it just come down to what you grew up with?

Brought my buddy's old retro console over last weekend. He swears by those face buttons. Said his thumbs remember the layout from 25 years ago. Got so into a fighting game he didn't even notice the stick was different. Almost threw his back out leaning into a combo. But yeah, the buttons are basically the same. Muscle memory is a weird thing.
