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.

Thrustmaster makes the Eswap controller which are modular. You can change the positions of the sticks and buttons on both sides I believe. I dont know how they work wirh linux though.

Weirdly, it seems like the only non-modular part are the buttons on the right side. You can swap out the right stick for other things (like additional buttons), but you can't put a stick up top. A bit above my price range, but a super cool idea.

My friend had one (maybe an older version) and it wasn't very good quality, kinda felt like crap out the box and broke within a month.

I wish modular controllers caught on as I also never liked the Xbox layout, which has only gotten more common even on 3rd party Playstation pads.

That's a porn name for a company.
