The conceptual [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worm-game) Stadia controller has been designed by Devin Sidell as an accessory for use with the upcoming cloud gaming service to enable a more mobile-friendly experience. The controller features an updated design that transforms the original device into a bar-shaped option that is highly portable to make it more in sync with existing [mobile gaming solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8bitdo-flippad) on the market.

The controller features a utilitarian design that is focused on functionality instead of ergonomics, which would meet the demand of discerning gamers seeking to play titles wherever they go. Despite this ultra-mobile design, the conceptual Google Stadia controller still manages to pack all essential functionalities into the unit to ensure it's suitable for use with any title without restriction
