GENKI LAUNCHES MANTA CONTROLLER WITH 2.9-INCH SCREEN

The Manta marks Genki's first controller built entirely in-house, following a 2022 collaboration with 8BitDo. The device sports an unconventional layout with thumbsticks and buttons positioned above a 2.9-inch LCD display, giving it a bulkier profile than traditional controllers. Customizability serves as the controller's core differentiator. Users can adjust numerous settings directly through the built-in screen, while buttons and thumbsticks accommodate personalized configurations. The control scheme allows players to tailor the device to their specific needs and preferences. The Manta's design represents a departure from standard gamepad ergonomics, prioritizing functionality and user control over conventional form factors. Genki positions the device as an alternative for players seeking deeper customization capabilities beyond typical controller offerings.
