> analog face buttons of the DualShock 2 are cool in concept but always made me press too hard

The amount of hand pain this one feature all those years ago has caused.

To this day I find my self having to loosen my grip and press the face buttons lighter because it makes no difference now.

(Though PS5 has added a whole new level of hand ache with adaptive trigger resistance).

I love the adaptive triggers. I have all the consoles and a gaming PC and will buy games on PS5 because of them. I think it adds an interesting tactile element that also improves playability.

I love them as a feature, I think they're really cool, but I find some games like Horizon (with the Bow)... I'm failing to think of others at the moment as I haven't played in a while... cause ache after a relatively short gaming session.

Maybe I just need to look into reducing the "resistance" of them in the settings.
