After memphis talked about his thumbs hitting I had to pick up my DS4. You must not be using your the tips of your thumbs, my thumbs weren't even close to touching
I love the DS4, only downside for me is that big *** touchpad that has no real purpose. I think the X1 controller is too small and somehow I managed to pinch my fingers when squeezing the triggers on BF4
I do agree with Carver though, I used to love the 360 controller especially with shooters. I picked that controller up yesterday to play MvC3 with my son, it felt like pure trash
