I mean, sure it looks a bit odd, but if you remove the trackpads and reshape the controller based on not having those then it's a pretty standard controller, no? It's not like the added part for the trackpads does anything to change how you would hold the controller or anything, so I doubt it'd make much of a difference in use even if you never use the trackpads.

Yup, looks just like a DualSense controller from the PS5 without the trackpads.
