IHMO not sure how playable any games are on a 4 way mini button based controller, but still pretty cool.

Where's the fire button ?

Looks like this thing has zero fire buttons and we need at least one, maybe even two or three.

Good lord, nice idea but not for those of us with dodgy eyesight, straining to read that would only make it worse..

 

Very funky tho..

Just had word back from the maker that the ESC / TAB key acts as a fire button but it also seems to lack a SHIFT and CTRL key as well, the mapping of the ESC / Tab key could cause issues with games where some use the ESC to leave a current level.

spelling as always!

A stick setup like that would suck I do suspect.  And those switches in use for stick and kb - I'd not expect them to last a real long time either.

 

If the thing has Bluetooth and you can bring along your own, then it'd be great.

But you can pretty well do the same thing these days with a phone and have a much better display into the bargain.

 

As great as all this stuff is, I was emulating a PS1 with the shitty phone I had in 2012 so it's sort of old news now.

This one appears to have a more functional keyboard and uses PiZero
