Just index fingers. And this actually means I hurt my second joint on the middle finger as it rubs where I tuck it under the controller. But I can’t unlearn this position now. I have a kind of callous there which is really painful - ordered a new controller but it made it worse so now I’m trying a super small controller instead.

I used to be an index fingers only guy, until Returnal. You really need fingers directly on like 5 actions at all times to keep up with the action sometimes. So now I use index and middle when the game calls for it.

I use a PS4 controller and I have my index fingers on L1/R1 bumpers and my middle fingers on L2/R2 triggers.

I alternate between using my indexes for both the bumpers and the triggers, and using indexes for bumpers and middles for the triggers. Depends on how i’m feeling

I’m a pointer only.

Middle fingers on triggers.
Index fingers on shoulder buttons.

This is for my steamdeck which has a similar setup. I find it is game dependent. If I don’t have to use them in tandem I tend to just use the index and move it back and forth. Some content I have to use it a bit in tandem like in cyberpunk if you are in car combat acceleration is right trigger and fire weapon is right bumper. In that case I use the index and middle. It does not happen to often so I do have to get my mind setup for playing that way while in the content.

Personally I use just my index fingers to alternate between these but I’m realizing how inefficient this seems when I look at the controller scheme. Seems more like it would be more beneficial to use middle and index fingers but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone use that? But maybe some people do? Was curious if any others out there did or knew of others who do.

Index fingers unless I need to use the bumper buttons at he same time.

Just Index fingers. I use middle fingers for back buttons if the controller has them.
