I don't get it. Why do they all put the joysticks at the bottom? I find that so uncomfortable. Why are double top joysticks so rare?

Double top sticks won't be as comfortable as it sounds. You'll have to hold the device awkwardly if you're using the left analog stick but are playing a game that isn't using the right stick (like any 2D platformer). The analog stick on the left being at the top or bottom is mostly preference, I've seen devices go either way.

It will be interesting to see if this will end up being a better option than a RP5 or RP6
