I wonder why removable / replaceable modules aren't a thing in controllers. This render looks like they are trying to stuff as many things as they can onto the controller and it may not end up being as comfortable as a result. Would be neat if I could swap out a thumb stick for a touch pad for example. Ofc I'm just blowing smoke out of my ass and it could be comfortable already.

I think Thrustmaster have a patent on that. I may be misremembering, but they definitely brought out modular controllers.

To be fair the deck also looked really uncomfortable to hold to me but it is comfortable.

Do you have large hands? I do, so I 3D printed some grip extensions that help.

Yeah, we cant judge by the rendering alone. May not even be final either.
