Any controllers that have both joysticks in the "upwards" position?
-
Thrustmaster makes the Eswap controller which are modular. You can change the positions of the sticks and buttons on both sides I believe. I dont know how they work wirh linux though.

Weirdly, it seems like the only non-modular part are the buttons on the right side. You can swap out the right stick for other things (like additional buttons), but you can't put a stick up top. A bit above my price range, but a super cool idea.

Dang, this is definitely the winner. I'm a fan of Nintendo's controllers, but never had a WiiU so didn't realize they were in that configuration. Thanks!

It’s a damn good controller too.
The only downside to using one today is that it charges via mini USB. Not USB C like a PS5 controller, or even micro USB like a PS4 controller. It uses mini USB like a PS3 controller.

I'd love to find someone who makes a decent controller where both of the joysticks are above the buttons (so basically the opposite of the Playstation layout). Anyone know of one? I've only ever found no-brand Amazon junk.
8bitDo 2c Ultimate is pretty great, for very cheap on Amazon. Its a hall effect joystick so its more precise and durable. It has bluetooth and 2.4ghz so generally works in Linux I've found.

8bitdo controllers are great, I have the SN30 Pro. But the 2C Ultimate doesn't have that right joystick in the position I'm looking for.

Yeah, mini USB is a plague.

Someone already mentioned the Wii U Pro Controller, so I'll throw this one in just for fun:
I've never seen one in person, but it looks capable of the layout you're after.

My friend had one (maybe an older version) and it wasn't very good quality, kinda felt like crap out the box and broke within a month.
I wish modular controllers caught on as I also never liked the Xbox layout, which has only gotten more common even on 3rd party Playstation pads.

That looks super cool, but unfortunately I can't spare CAD$483 for it

Yeah I saw that. Not ideal, but there aren't a ton of games I play that really need that throttle.

The good side is mini is far more robust than micro

I'm in the same boat tbh I really like the layout of the Wii u pro, it ruined me. I just wish it had analog triggers. I opted for an analog keyboard instead, with a racing profile.

That's a porn name for a company.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I think it's your best bet.
I am disappointed that this particular Wii U controller lacks motion controls, though. Seems strange for a console that treats them as a primary feature.

Not quite what you're describing, but worth mentioning: You might enjoy the Steam Controller for the same reasons you like right-stick-on-top controllers. It uses track pads instead of sticks. They've been discontinued for years, though, so I don't know how tough it will be to find one.
