The conceptual 'Mini Controller' is the design work of Wootae Kim as a minimalist tech accessory for avid gamers to incorporate into their collection as a way to intuitively play a range of titles from anywhere.
The controller is characterized by its decidedly subtle design aesthetic that eliminates the usual accoutrements found on video game controllers in favor of just a few components. These include a minimalist direction pad (D-pad) alongside a round joystick and shoulder trigger buttons. The unit features a design size that can be easily carried with a smartphone or on a keychain, while the shifting form of the controller can be attached directly onto a device through a USB-C connection or wirelessly over Bluetooth.
The conceptual 'Mini Controller' is imagined in several color options that will work perfectly for any style preferences.
