So many ridiculous statements about the pads vs thumbsticks.
How thick you want your phone?
The pads are fine.
At least it's something with physical controls.
Physical controls are so much better than touchscreen controls, especially with emulators.
And please don't say Bluetooth controllers are better.
Do you walk around with a Bluetooth controller in your pocket?

It's like idiots are trying to look for something, so they point to dumb things as if those are viable options and worth discussing.
