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.

This is where I am. Just waiting for a smaller version of the sn90 pro

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.
