Any controllers that have both joysticks in the "upwards" position? (lemmy.ca)

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.

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!

iirc, be aware that the triggers(L1/R1) are buttons

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

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.

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.
