I have always wondered why someone didn't just make a controller with fully swapable stick and button zones.

If thats what this is then I'm in, if not then I don't see the point.

Probably easier said than done. I'm thinking they will release multiple variants of the controller. The patent makes it unclear as to whether the sticks/dpad/face buttons can be swapped. If they manage to pull it off though...

HOLY SHIT...... This is absolutely nuts if true:

The patent seems to display swapable buttons/sticks/dpad..... Or at least multiple variants with different configurations....

I don't know what this feature on the rear is...

That bottom picture appears to have a slot at the back. I reckon that is to house the mount for Sony phones or perhaps the Vita.

The PS5 Exists.
