  1. Controller for someone missing most of their right thumb.


    My dad is a firefighter in California and he recently lost most of his thumb and part of his index finger. I live on the opposite side of the country and xbox is my only real tie to him these days so I was wondering if anyone knew of a controller with the
    joystick and buttons on the right side a little bit closer. any help is greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Xbox One Controller - Analog Stick Faulty

    Superglue my own thumb stick, sounds risky. Just keep sending back for replacement by MS. Eventually they will fix this and you will get XB1 controller v2 with fixed sticks...finger crossed. Of my two pads, one has loose left thumb stick and the other
    has loose right thumb stick /sigh.

    lol @ alot of these Controller for someone missing most of their right thumb. :p

    On topic, I do take breaks, regularly at the end of most levels for 2-20 minutes. Again, this is not from the strain of holding the controller, but form the presure on the specific point in my thumb that the stick meets the skin.

    When I am pressing forward on the controller my thumb rides to the back ridt of the stick (if that makes sense). Its the thin edge of the stick that cuases the constant presure on my thumb. Its this localised presure thats bothering me.

    Im thinking about trying some form of glove or thumb cover just for the left thumb....

    XBox Elite Series 2 Controller - A-Button Issues - On My 4th Replacement. With Youtube Video of Issue

    I’ve now just discovered that my most recent replacement has a sticky right thumb stick when pressing up or left. It’s smooth to the right and down. Left thumb stick is fine. This is definitely someone else’s reject. They are just cycling these messed up controllers through the mail back and forth between us all sending them in :(

    No comment from Microsoft?

    Would xbox be willing to make a controller with semetrical joysticks

    Most.people prefer it.in that positional thouvh

    When you hold a controller your thumbs rests naturally on the top left area

    This is.the same .for Most controllers only sony does it .oddly

    Hold up a controller see where your thumbs are

    Switch steamdeck stadia most pc.controllers all are thr same way

    Hold your controller.one handed on the left side see where your most.support is its rhe TOP left

    Not the middle.of.the controller

    You have to curl your thumbs to use it in the middle

    Where most controllers only one thumb has to curl on the right side and your left is naturally up top where it can rest and.move freely

    It's about.preferance

    Natural or.weirdly designed

    Think.about.it.curling.your thumbs is.more.stressful.on your.fingers rather then laying flat

    You can Google.asymmetrical Vs symmetrical differences

    Not that most.controllers aren't.

    like.sonys

    Only 8bitdo ones are like.that

    Keep.in mind if you play cloud you can play using a ps controller not with a series s though since Sony doesn't do drivers for competitors

    98/100 City Hotspots

    Press up on the D-pad to bring up your smart phone. Scroll over using the right thumb stick to 'Dead Sec Field Guide'. Then using the right thumb stick scroll down to City Hotspots. Press A to select the app and use the right thumb stick to scroll through
    each area to see where you are missing a Hotspot.

    xbox one controller analog sticks issues

    I've been playing Ryse and having pain in my right thumb. I think it's because the sticks are further from the grips. It's like they were made for someone with giant thumbs.

    Need some help, old guy

    OP, what I do while aiming down site is control up down with my right thumb and side to side with my left thumb. Basically i try not to do all my aiming with my right thumb. When doing this it helps me shoot on target and not all around the target. Hope
    it helps you.
