Any controllers that have both joysticks in the "upwards" position? (lemmy.ca)

I'd love to find someone who makes a decent controller where both of the joysticks are above the buttons (so basically the opposite of the Playstation layout). Anyone know of one? I've only ever found no-brand Amazon junk.

Just out of curiosity, how do you use it? Like you use your index fingers on the joysticks while your thumbs hit the buttons?

Nope, thumbs on the joysticks and fingers on the triggers, with the thumbs leaving the joysticks if the buttons are needed. Same way I use any other controller, but I find the upper positioning of the joystick to be more comfortable and intuitive for FPS games.
