The Xbox One and Series controllers are some of the most widely appreciated controllers within the gaming community. The haptic feedback in the Xbox Series controllers works phenomenally well when playing on both consoles or on PC. This can be experienced while playing games like Forza Horizon 4, both on PC or on the Series X|S consoles.

However, a Redditor has come up with a concern about the Xbox Controllers. In the subreddit r/gaming, user u/broomaktamer117 sheds light on the uneven structure of the buttons in the controller.

Another user explains how these shapes go back even to the Duke Controllers. They explain that the buttons were shaped in that particular way to keep them faced correctly and provide accurate input. The shapes may also be because of the new design and curvature of the Xbox Series controllers.

On the contrary, another user points out that this might be a design flaw from Microsoft, as the controller has bumpers hinging on a cheap plastic body instead of a spring system.
