This is Game Start gaming controller designed to primarily address the bulky design of current generation controllers. The goal is to make the essential gaming accessory portable enough not to occupy much space. Finally, the concept takes shape with split of the basic functions on the handle. This separates the controller into two modules – one of them being useful for virtual reality gaming applications like the HTC Vive or Meta Quest. The other one can be used independently for titles that don’t require the left-handed joystick.

The lock mechanism on the back of the controller can be unlatched, and the stick-like module detached. For portability, it can be folded down to half the size to fit inside your pocket. The batteries on the controller slot-in on the right-hand section and the buttons are optimally placed for ergonomic playing comfort. The only reservation I’ve got from Yifeeling Design is a bland aesthetic near the bottom which will hurt the hands during long sessions of play.

There’s a digital screen on the top to display the battery levels, currently selected profiles or other in-game info. To how much degree can the informative display be customized is left to my imagination for now. The controller is draped in an Xbox-like color scheme.
