    I just saw the article too, but I have a distinct feeling, that these controllers have existed for a long time. I am probably thinking of some other ones.

      I have seen similar concepts from various yum-cha vendors, but usually with fewer buttons.

      What’s holding me back on this thing is that it does not appear to have any analog sticks, not even a pair of little slidey 3DS style ones. I’d buy it if it did. But otherwise, I’ll stick with my little Gamesir pad.

      You are probably thinking of the direct predecessor, the Zero2.

      But this one sounds interesting. I mean sure it’s diminutive, but it’s also… cute? Plus it’s USB-C with cute, not micro-USB like the previous one. I might need one.

        Ah yes, thanks for the link!

        And yes, I agree that they look cute, and can be useful for playing NES /SNES games.

      The only target audience I see is people, that just love the ergonomics of the joycons but need more ROUNDED EDGES to be fully satisfied.
