Genki’s New Chunky Controller with Haptic Screen

The future of gaming peripherals just got a whole lot chunkier. Accessory manufacture Genki is making a bold move into the controller space with the launch of the Manta, a device that promises to redefine how gamers interact with their hardware.

The Manta isn’t just another accessory; it’s an integrated experience. This premium pad features its own 2.79-inch screen and operating system, effectively giving users a centralized command hub that operates independently of their companion phone or desktop application.

This integration is designed to eliminate friction and unlock unparalleled control. Gamers can now manage their experience directly on the device itself, allowing for intuitive customization of their gaming setup.

Imagine the possibilities: instantly switching profiles, precisely remapping buttons, fine-tuning controls, editing complex macros, and managing connections—all directly on the controller.

But the Manta is more than just a fancy screen. It’s packed with cutting-edge performance features. The device incorporates advanced haptic feedback, offering a tactile experience up to 8,000hz polling rate when wired. For those who prefer wireless convenience, it delivers a solid 1,000 polling rate.

Adding to its sophisticated design, the Manta even includes a proper headphone jack, ensuring that the immersive audio experience is just as high quality as the input.

With the recent success of its Kickstarter campaign, the demand for this level of integrated control is clearly massive. The Manta signals a shift toward personalized, on-device customization, positioning itself as a significant player in the evolving landscape of gaming accessories.
