Several years ago, I came across a modular controller that looked kind of like this one:

On both sides it had a removable attachtment (you see only one here, where the d-pad and left analogue stick is attached). I ould turn these attachments around, giving me the possibility to have an asymmetrical controller for shooters, or move both analogue sticks to the bottom when I was playing fighting games or 2D platformers while I had the analogue sticks at the top when I played 3D platformers.

why don´t we see a modular controller like this from one of Sony, MS or Nintendo?? I absolutely loved it as a concept, but it had crappy build quality (especially the d-pad) but became my only controller while I gamed on PC.

So, do you see any potential drawbacks with this type of controller? Do you see other benefits with having the possibility of attachments to the controller?
