This is my ideal controller design.

What do you think?
What would you remove and/or add?
What's your 1 to 10 rating on it over all?
And what kind of design do you have in mind as well?

So you're calling me an autist just because I have an idea I wanted to share with people?
Creative people like me are the reason nobodies like you have fun and interesting content. I even asked nicely what YOUR ideas would be like, but no. You wanna throw the old autismo insults out because somehow it's become such a popular term to call people. So kudos points on yet again being a nobody and blindlessly following every other duckling in the big meme pond.

Enjoy your stale bread, faggot.

Generally I like it, however the ventilation seems a bit gimicky to be honest and I imagine could be prone to faults (getting clogged up, noisy, draining battery etc), and I think the buttons on the right should be angled more like a Sega saturn. I can also see other people being bothered by all the buttons in the middle, but personally I think it's fine.

As for my design, I tried mocking some images up but they all failed miserably. In summary:

>Saturn button layout and dpad, but X, Y, and Z buttons are the same size and shape as A, B, and C buttons
>generally the same controller shape as the sega saturn controller, but the handles would be a bit longer
>a detachable vmu like the dreamcast, but with far better hardware capability and a high-resolution touchscreen (there will still be optional phyical buttons also)
>2 rows of shoulder buttons, with the back row being xbox-style trigger buttons
>in the central gap between the controller handles, there will be a port to attach optional additional hardware (in particular it can be used to attach analogue sticks of your choosing, but it third-party manufacturers could be free to develop all kinds of gimmicky extra stuff with it, such as a touchpad microphone, fan, LEDs, etc)
>Wireless and charged via microUSB - can be played whilst charging
>vibration built in
>has a textured back material to provide extra grip (similar to the ps4 controller)

Why is it so bad that I want to design my own controller?
Why is it that I get called an autist just for presenting an idea?
It's about a controller design on a video games board. It's not as if I'm trying to force an OC for everyone to see or shit posting and ruining everyone's day. Where do you guys get off to crapping on an idea thread just because it's not something YOU would do? And when I try to be kind and ask for your idea because I figure you might just want to present your own, you insult me further.

Your misstep was flaunting it around on an internet forum instead of 1) hiring a professional graphic designer for a proper 3D mockup and then (2) going to a venture capitalist investor instead.

Going to 4chan with an MS paint drawing is something an 11 year-old would do.

The fan gimmick has been done. There's a ridiculous looking attachment you can get for PS4 controllers. It doesn't help much, because the oil is still there, and sweat is largely in response to core temperature. Bring a towel like some speedrunners do.
