In my opinion this the best button layout for people who don't want to/can't dish out the cash for a paddle controller.

Please feel free to suggest any changes.

    taking your finger off the aiming stick to sprint is madness.

    For me personally “Bumper Jumper Tactical” clears.

  4. Are you playing with index fingers on the bumpers and middle fingers on the triggers? Being able to sprint with either left trigger, or sprint on left stick and putting jump on left trigger could be helpful. Mainly to sprint out of prone in order to snake and also just get up faster, on top of holding breath when sniping. Even if you leave ping as is, putting your left middle finger on the trigger to be able to always ping people even in ads will help a lot. But i think not having access to sprint is a mistake. Unless you are really focused on using throwing knives, you would probably also be better off having access to sprint easily over lethal, again with right middle finger on the trigger. Pinging mid fight is probably slightly more helpful than aiming lethals while throwing them, if you have to choose one. 

    Assuming you’re on playstation, if there is any way to rebind the menu button and or touch pad buttons to face buttons/dpad, you could do a half claw grip, where you hit those with your index finger to increase the number of buttons available while leaving your thumbs on the sticks. I know ds4 windows has that as an option. I figure you also don’t play claw, and don’t want to, but reaching for only the top few buttons and maybe triangle / square puts way less strain on your finger compared to reaching for x and circle. 

    If this works though, more power to you, if you don’t play claw, you’re going to have to sacrifice something on a default controller. 

    Something to check out would be extremerate’s rise ps5 controller kit, which with a little diy adds paddles to a stock controller for around 40 dollars

    I always found it odd PS triggers bumpers are reverse from Xbox layout.

    Yes, finally. L3 to jump is goated in any game.
    I’ve been playing on MnK hundreds of games for 2 decades, left thumb on the spacebar to jump; is only fitting that L3 fulfills that role, and yet all games use X for some ancient reason lost to time.
