    Maybe it’s fine for people with big hands, idk

    That might be it.

    I’ve never been described as small, and my hands are pretty proportional. Even with one of those “back button kits” I’ve never noticed the weight.

    I’m definitely for them offering controllers in different sizes though. Like, especially for videogames where children to grown adults use the same controller, there’s no reason to only offer one size controller.

    You’d think they’d be all over that as controllers have a pretty good markup compared to the actual console.

      Yeah that’s fair.

      I’m a small person with proportionally small hands (I’m actually closer to child-size than average-adult-size) and the ps5 controllers are probably the worst I’ve ever used (I haven’t used anything past 360 for Xbox; those controllers are also big). I can’t even imagine an actual child without the dexterity and musculature using one properly.

      Nothing like the controllers back in the day… sure they had cords but they were light and pretty small. Even when they were early wireless, they were light.

      And there is a huge market for off brand controllers for the size issue. I’ve bought a lot of 3rd party ones because they felt nicer. It’s be nice if they were OEM tho.
