It's not the clearest photo, but it clearly has both 2 thumb sticks and 2 track pads.

The Deck is very ergonomic.

I don't know how well flat sides would work for a normal controller, though, as your hands/arms are much closer together.

The flat sides don't work for me with the Deck which is much wider.

And it's not as if I was alone either

Well yeah, even if you designed the most ergonomic thing that's ever been created, there will always be some it doesn't work for, because everybody is different.

And when you go onto a popular forum and look for people who feel the same, you will find some, even if the vast majority find it comfortable.

Reviews pretty much all said the deck is very ergonomic.
