And here we go. Controllers

[MrLoL²]

HOLY stuff THIS IS SO HOT

[naturemon]

Am I the only one that thinks the controller is the ugliest and by far most confusing controller ever seen?

Edit: I mean I'm not sure what I was expecting in a controller considering different games have widely different control schemes but I can't foresee ever getting used to it.

[Filipe]

Oh boy, I would like to have that controller

Wow that controller is fascinating, That could be like having a mouse for each of your thumbs.

[Bisjac]

im glad SOMEONE finally recognizes the fact that joysticks have all been loving gay, outdated, and should not be used in gaming.

tbh if they pull this off well, this could be one of the best "consoles" ever.

too bad it isnt as well known as xbox, ps4, etc
I would love to have this console, and the controller looks like a blessing from the gods

[Pandan]

worst controller ever.

[Port]

worst controller ever.

how so
also you really didn't need to post the image

[ZSNO]

"It's not exactly like every controller ever, it must be horrible!"

[Pandan]

Valve D-Riders incoming.

A controller that requires you to move your thumb off of both directional inputs to press a button is handicapped.

The button layout is stupid, and the haptics thing will never replace a physical joystick.
This will flop. Hard.

[Bisjac]

dont you have to remove a finger from the sticks of a ps or xbox pad to hit the dpad or the 4 action buttons?

this looks like the same setup as any existing pad cept they dont use sticks.
