The SWORL Is A “Fight Stick” Controller That’s Not Just For Fighting Games

JunkFood Custom Arcades, makers of the favored Snack Box Micro controller have simply introduced the SWORL, which it calls “a ‘fight stick’ like experience for multiple game genres.” The controller is a mix of an analog pad, a battle stick, and a mechanical keyboard, combining a WASD D-pad, two thumb analog controls, and as much as ten keys.

The stickless pad as an alternative has two grippy trackball-like “thumb domes” which have been designed to take care of high quality management with out your thumbs having to maneuver as far. The SWORL is ergonomically designed, with the participant’s fingers usually resting as far aside as they might on a regular ergonomic keyboard, and all of the inputs sitting at roughly the identical top.

Like different JunkFood Custom controllers, the SWORL is designed to be extremely customizable, with choices obtainable for art work, LEDs, MX switches, case colours, and even the button format on the precise facet. Software-level customization will permit gamers to switch LEDs, remap controls, and retailer or share as much as 10 profiles which could be immediately switched in sport.

The SWORL is not fairly prepared for full launch but, however JunkFood Custom Arcades will probably be displaying the prototype at Evo this August in an effort to collect suggestions from gamers. The non-standard controller design has quite a lot of promise not only for ergonomic play, but in addition to supply higher accessibility for some gamers. More data on launch date and value will probably be up to date on JunkFood Custom’s social media and Discord because the mission progresses.
