Ouya developers change the controller because developers asked

1/25/13 7:32pm

The Ouya, the upcoming Kickstarter-funded, Android-based console, had a funky controller.

The developers who tried it cited several problems, and the developers responded by making changes to address them.

For instance, that disc-shaped direction pad was replaced with a more traditional cross shape.

Here are the other changes they made:

  • The thumbsticks have rubberized tops.
  • The touch pad is more responsive.
  • The triggers were redesigned to be more flush with the controller, and the design and mechanics have been improved.
  • The battery bay was redesigned to be more "snug."

It's pretty nice to hear a console developer be so open with its R&D, especially for something as fundamental as the controller. So are any of you g1s excited with these changes or the console in general? Let us know in the comments below!

Change something on a system should be discussed first with the developer. You have to get the best system that has been ordered and purchased in advance. Fishing Charter Seattle
