The idea of putting a screen on a controller is not new. The Dreamcast and Wii U made this concept a reality. Now, Hyperkin, a company that focuses on making peripherals for consoles, has released its new product, a control for Nintendo Switchwhich has a screen.
Unlike the Dreamcast and Wii U, both of which were designed with a screen in mind, Hyperkin’s Manba One is a completely original creation. If you’re wondering what you can do with this screen, well, not much really. According to an analysis by Nintendo Life, Here we can access a series of configuration options for control, and only this.
The extra screen that Manba One offers us has no interaction with Switch games and. It simply offers an easy way to configure our controls. In addition, the controller has remappable buttons that allow for even more customization, the changeable face plate allows you to easily and quickly change the look of the controller.
Similarly, we find Hall effect joysticks, which offer more precision and stability than conventional joysticks. If you’re looking to add Mamba One to your collection, you’ll be glad to hear this Pre-orders for the controller are available now, and it costs $69.99. Relatedly, the Switch gets a new Dragon Quest controller. Likewise, these will be switch 2 controls.
Author’s Note:
The screen is completely unnecessary, and may be a turn-off for many, as it consumes more battery than a normal controller. It’s an interesting idea, but it fails at the end of the day.
