    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.

    That’s incredibly cute. I wonder if the portability factor would conflict with having joysticks sticking out, but a trackpad would be good.

    Thank you! This was perfect timing as I was about to buy a zero2!

    For those who aren’t familiar with these, yes they work as game controllers and are small (but usuable), but a lot of people use these as a shortcut button box for art and other applications. Like A takes out your paint brush and B your eraser

    You could use it as a power point clicker etc.
