Well, I just pretended I was playing a video game with one of the bananas in our kitchen. It felt... okay. Not to say that a banana is a 100% accurate representation of the PS3 controller. Luckly, I have good sized hands and long fingers but those Japanese gamers... unless they're Yao Ming-esque... it's going to be tough...
your not driving a car with it.. thats not what they're saying.
they're saying its curved like that because its a relaxed way for the wrists to sit. whether you drive like that or not, it doent FEEL like a steering wheel. its just trying to discribe it.
