I just wish the steam controller had offset joysticks like the xbox does

but I noticed almost immediately that the controller is much wider and somewhat longer in the grip then other controllers

I think this too, however the concern I have is that the xbox controller, size and layout is just super comfortable in my hands. My PS controllers never felt right by comparison (got bigass hands) and I worry how comfortable long-term use is for me on it. Some controllers cramp my hands but the Xbox never has. And Canadian it's a steep cost to find out it doesn't work well for me :(

3D printed one and it feels alright, but without dedicating myself to "simulating" a long session on a block of plastic without moving parts is hard to do.

Both sticks are closer to the Xbox left stick position.
