A Question About The Controls?

[dotrat1989]

I am new to this site and I was wondering what kind of joysticks are gonna be on the Pandora? I really hope you guys put them in a comfortable place on Pandora and have a smooth feel to them. Don't place them on the edge of the device or have a stiff knub like the PSP... I think you guys didn't finalize the hardware yet so you might not have any idea right now. I traded in the PSP just because the controls were so uncomfortable for me. This will be the deciding factor in weither or not I will buy Pandora.

Have you looked at the renders? They're a little dated but they do show all the controls in their final position. I'll hand this over to Youtube...

The second two videos are the real deal.

dotrat - the design is finalized. You're several months late as far as offering opinions on control layouts. There were huge threads about that stuff.

I've seen the photo shopped renderings before making this thread and I thought the joystick placement is awesome but did not know if they were finalized.... If they have decent amount of space of movement for the controller knubs, I will definitly buy it...

this device is designed by pros. I'm sure that there will be plenty of movement space etc in the finished product.

Can't wait for the final product! Will be a must buy if it lives up to the hype!

More importantly, it's designed by gamers, and gamers who enjoy retrogaming.

Pros means it'll be shiny. Gamers means it should feel *right*.
