It reminds me of the Yes/No vs. No/Yes debate in the OS UI world. In windows we get Yes on the left and No on the right, which exactly the same as with the PS controller.
In Linux this is often reversed and only when you make the change you notice how much you get used to it being one way or the other.
I wonder what the order is in Japanese Windows and if it affects Japanese PS controller users at all.
- plorg 3y agoI've never given much thought to this, but I use Windows at work and Linux at home and haven't clocked the difference. At work I mapped the up-and-right thumb button on my mouse to "Enter" and the down-and-left button to "Esc", which I find very convenient specifically for CAD. I got my mouse replaced when the left click button went bad and took the old mouse home and replaced the switch. I set up the same mapping, and I haven't noticed any dissonance. The biggest confusion I notice is scroll-to-zoom, where you have a 50% chance of using up to zoom in down to zoom out and 50% of the other way. I haven't found a good way to guess which applications will do which (on my CAD workstation I have one of two programs set to inverted scroll, and I won't remember which one it is unless I run into a new installation).
