I game using all 3 controllers, buy games on Switch and PS5, my Series X is a Gamepass box.
However, I have an issue with the controller on certain games, basically action games that require lots of "button mashing", the Xbox face buttons hurt my thumb, not cramp or anything mechanical, not "gamer's thumb", just the skin basically irritated with the friction of rough surface.
The thumb sticks have the same issue, they're rougher than the other controllers so irritate with intense use.
I don't have the same issue on Switch Pro nor DualSense controllers.
I started Lies of P on Series X, like the game but feel the thumb irritation, I was considering just buying it on PS5 instead.
I actually asked my non-gaming partner to touch the sticks and buttons on all 3 controllers and she noticed the "roughness" of the Xbox so doesn't seem to be my imagination![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So, am I alone with my pathetic hands?
I've looked at thumbstick grips but they seem aimed at more grip, no idea if they'd improve my issue, any advice would be gratefully received.
