Foldable Gaming Console Controllers

The 'Go-Cons' Nintendo Switch Controllers are Keychain-Like

The conceptual 'Go-Cons' Nintendo Switch controllers have been designed by Liam de la Bedoyere (Bored Eye Design) as a product for players to pair with the portable console. The peripherals take an even more compact approach to the console's Joy-Con controllers and boast a folding construction that conceals the joystick in the underside of the button area. This allows the controllers to be swiveled shut when not in use and helps to offer a touch of protection for the components.

The conceptual 'Go-Cons' Nintendo Switch controllers are imagined with a USB-C port for charging and are compact enough to be easily stowed almost anywhere. This will work well with the portable console as a way to further increase a player's ability to carry their gaming gear with them anywhere.
