Nobody's been brave enough to name the buttons N(orth), S(outh), E(ast), and W(est).
In my middleware, it's like that, with the optional
Btn_VandBtn_VIfor reasons.It would be weird to have buttons changing position to face north all the time
How about 12, 3, 6 and 9?

You mean 11, 2, 5, and 8? ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
Thanks for waking memories! I had one of these. Highly modded, with a modchip, other OS and a large HDD for my game backups. I could also watch videos etc. Most fun I had with a console. This was the pinnacle IMHO. The next gen started with the enshittification process.
I'm old enough to remember this and I approve of your suggestion. But tbh i'd also be fine with 10, 1, 4 and 7.
I actually started with 10 initially. But it was bugging me so I went and overlaid a clock onto the face buttons. 11 and 5 are bang-on, the other two are closer to 2:30 and 7:30 lol.
Looks like a fat batarang
Absolute Batarang
How about a regular boomerang?
This one makes me horny
This is what happens when you let the guys at Area 51 into the design team
Wouldn't mind if they hired those guys for the next playstation tbh lol

The only correct controller.
Now that's the kind of innovation we need!
