The form is similar and in fps games the use is the same
Ok that bottom image is interesting. It certainly looks a little more trigger-like. I dunno what console that is, but I think it's noteworthy that the PS2 controller has convex buttons for both R1 and R2. And even the PS5 seems to have only gone so far as making the button relatively flat:
With a steep convex bump out at the top, and a very gentle concave curve (much too gentle IMO to still be described as "similar to a gun trigger") across the rest. Personally, I don't particularly like the idea of naming the buttons in a way that is dependent on minute details of design like whether it is convex or concave. It's unintuitive and particularly if you throw third-party controllers into the mix, could lead to the names being even more misleading and unintuitive.
It's Xbox Elite controller. The trigger makes sense because out of the two "buttons", it's the one that's more like a trigger. Not sure why giving it a number would make things clearer, you'd still have to guess which one of the buttons is #1 and which one was #2. Intuitively you'd probably able to guess which is which on both systems.
