Held too close.: Gamepads and standard controllers

I really wanted to love this controller. First of all I have to say that all the features I have like in-app customization, back buttons, turbo mode and more are amazing. The fact that they've packed so much into a $50-$60 controller is just amazing. There was one major downside for me, however, and that was how incredibly close the sticks were. If you've used a PS4 DualShock 4, you know the sticks are well spaced and never hit your thumbs. With the newer Dual Sense, it's even better and they're spaced a bit further apart, making the controller even more comfortable. However, the sticks on this one are so close that they can't even move all the way when I point them at each other because my thumbs will hit them. I admit I have big hands and big fingers but I haven't had it that bad with my Dualshock 3. It absolutely kills the ergonomics for me and makes me want to bring it back. I didn't even get to eat for over an hour. Such a crap. If 8-bitdo ever changes the design by spreading the sticks further apart, I'll be grabbing it in no time. At the moment it's a controller for people with small hands.
