Accessory manufacture Genki is getting into the controller space with the Manta, a premium pad that contains its own 2.79-inch screen and operating system for intuitive customisation without the need for a separate companion phone or desktop app.<\/p>\n

So you can switch profiles, remap buttons, tune controls, edit macros, manage connections, and more directly on the controller itself. You’ve also got haptic feedback, up to 8,000hz polling rate when wired (1,000 wireless) and, remarkably, a proper headphone jack. Unfortunately, however, it only features 3-axis gyro.<\/p>\n
