This layout is pretty damn good since you can control the camera through a claw grip on your right hand pretty well.
It's pretty comfortable using claw for right stick camera controls so you can focus more of your effort on the buttons.
Claw on an Asymmetric controller is ridiculously uncomfortable by comparison.
Wtf no. Clawing with your finger on the stick would probably break your finger. You also don't have anywhere near the accuracy required with your finger to control the stick. The thing about the claw is that if you find it comfortable, then you can use the stick and buttons at the same time with the same accuracy as normal.
I really hope the Wii U layout never takes off.
i am honestly shocked by this "claw" thing. i had no idea. i only have a DS4 on hand at the moment, but it's crazy uncomfortable to me.
and that one poster who suggested hitting the bumpers with the fingers still on the triggers? i had no idea about that either.
OT: i used to not care, have come to prefer symmetric. going back to an Xbox controller recently felt very strange. still need to try a Wii U Pro.
It's always felt just as comfortable as normally holding the controller for me. It's the default position I hold the controller for all games now.
It's extremely useful for shooters like Halo as you can perform all the different actions like jumping and melee without compromising accuracy on the stick. It's also basically necessary on games like GTA so you can move the camera whilst sprinting.
Except for comfort reasons, the claw grip is objectively better, not even IMO this time.
