I have never used Xbox controllers so I can’t speak for their ergonomics or ease of use.
But I definitely find the DualSense controller to be more aesthetically appealing, partly due to its symmetry, and I have to admit that it was the second most important factor when purchasing PS4 Pro a decade ago.
The first most important factor being the games catalogue.

Yup, best controller design for my hands. If only the quality of its components wasn‘t so crap. Drifting sticks, squeaky triggers, double pressing buttons, I had it all. I thought an elite controller would be of better quality, got one, and the plastic of the right shoulder button straightup broke within a year. No dropping, no throwing, it just broke from normal use lol
The form‘s great, the buttons (when they work), are great, the sticks (when they work) are great. It just doesn‘t last long past warranty. Thankfully they‘re on sale every year for like 35 bucks but I‘d rather they were a tad more expensive with better quality components… I guess they don‘t mind people having to buy more of them either though…

I recently played using one of the new xbox controllers, I much prefer the ps5 controllers, with or without the fancy force feedback. The old 360 controllers were great compared to the playstation controllers at the time, but the new ones don’t feel good.

The XBone controller is more comfortable, but I really like the analog/adaptive triggers on the DualSense. That gives it the edge imo
