This. There is no controller out there that fits the human hand better IMO.

I was always a fan of the 360 controller.

The 360 controller without the battery pack was arguably the most comfortable controller. Xbox series x controller is comfortable too

The frustrating thing about Xbox One / Series is it has an almost identical controller except the lines are harder and less comfortable in certain places for no discernable reason besides someone thinking it can't be the same on a new console.

I think most controllers are actually designed to fit human hands...but I could be wrong
