To make the right-handed Xbox 360 controller, Ben Heck switched triggers around with hot glue. For instance, he put the left analog trigger where your middle finger would be and the [left analog stick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victrix-pro-ko) on the bottom, which you use by tilting the controller against your leg. Now, with your left hand completely free, you can take a phone call, snack on a bag of chips (without having to wipe your hands), text—think of the possibilities! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Right-handed Game Controllers:** This trend caters to gamers who prefer using their right hand, presenting an opportunity for companies to develop innovative controller designs. - **Customized Gaming Accessories:** The creation of custom controllers like the right-handed Xbox 360 controller opens up a market for personalized gaming accessories. - **Multi-tasking Gaming Devices:** Developing game controllers that allow users to perform other tasks simultaneously can revolutionize the gaming experience. ### Where This Applies - **Gaming Hardware:** The gaming hardware industry can capitalize on the demand for innovative right-handed game controllers. - **Accessory Manufacturing:** Companies specializing in manufacturing gaming accessories can explore the production of customized controllers for gamers. - **Technology Integration:** The integration of multi-tasking features in game controllers presents an opportunity for companies in the technology sector to disrupt the gaming industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Left-Hand Dynamic Game Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hex-evo.md) - [Left Hand Gaming Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/left-hand-gaming-controller.md) - [Single-Handed Gaming Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onehanded-dualsense-controller.md) - [Multi-Modal Gaming Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperx.md) - [Licensed Customizable Gamer Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wired-xbox-controller.md) - [Modular Game Console Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proteus-controller.md) - [Accommodating Gaming Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flex-controller.md) - [Spherically Designed Gaming Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cgamepad.md) - [Inclusive Modular Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-play-controller.md)
