the only thing that looks like it would be awkward is the distance between the R analog stick and the square/x buttons which are pretty constantly used. i'm not used to them being that far away and it would be a totally different mechanic with my thumb, tough to get used but i supposed i would eventually. i do like the positioning of the sticks overall, and this might be worth the awkward distance. that is, of course, assuming the button mapping doesn't change.
