    Are there any alternatives that maybe more comfortable for a left handed person.

    I have been playing stadia (RIP) , had absolutely no pain in my hands.

    Please help or allow connecting Stadia Controller on Xbox or redesign controller to make it more accessible for southpaws.

    I love Xbox , but I am not able to enjoy games with the Xbox controller- I play competitive FPS like COD with the Stadia Controller on Xbox Cloud and iPad as they are compatible , but I rather play it on my console. however the controller does not connect.

    :)

    Best controller config for Manual/Clutch

    I use the LB for clutch since they added it. For me it's just so easy to use part of my left index finger for brake and clutch which leaves my right hand for everything else.

    Controller

    I'm using an Xbox One controller to play Resident Evil 4 on my PC, actually emulating the Wii version of the game, so not exactly the same issue but close enough I believe.

    How are you holding the controller? You must be holding it in a weird way as I don't have to shift my grip at all to hit the Left Bumper with my index finger. Do you have small hands that require you to shift your grip as you describe?

    Elite Series 2 Controller, Larger paddles

    Yah I can see how the old paddles would be cumbersome for smaller hands and I do have really long fingers. On the S1 controller, I could rest my middle/third fingers on P1/P2 and be very comfortable. It made me forsake any and all other controllers haha
    But with the S2 controller, my index finger hits both P1/P2 and I don't have the room for two fingers anymore.

    All in all, people come in all shapes and sizes, please offer an accessory kit that includes the paddles/sticks from the Elite S1 controller.

    Also, has anyone else had Bluetooth connection issues? I lose connection once or twice in the span of 60-80 min...

    Edit: not index and middle fingers haha middle and third fingers because the index would always be on triggers

    The bumper buttons

    Be sure that I read your post. It's just that I know the controllers shoulder button's can feel odd compared to other controller's. I tend to have My left hand slightly higher than My right hand, so my left index finger goes over the shoulder button more
    on the left, this caused me to have issue's at first until I got used to it.

    If it's faulty though, I would probably send it back before it get's worse. The X1 controller is incredibly cheap feeling compared to the 360 controller's. I'd personally like to see the quality get a lot better in the future.
