I'm an avid fan of both games, but lately, I've had to refrain from playing due to the use of L3 and R3 as the pause and play buttons on the PS5 controller. When I'm in the game, these are the buttons I use most, but their design leads to a flare-up of my arthritis unlike any other game I've experienced.


The issue lies in the fact that it's not ergonomic to consistently press down on the joystick buttons. The left and right directional buttons, which aren't currently utilized outside of the menu, would be a more comfortable alternative for these functions.


I kindly request the option to either map these buttons myself or for the introduction of another button scheme where the pause and play functions are assigned to the left and right directional buttons. This change would greatly enhance my gaming experience and allow me to continue enjoying the games I love. Thank you for considering my request!
