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

JunkFood Custom Arcades, makers of the popular Snack Box Micro controller have just announced the SWORL, which it calls “a ‘fight stick’ like experience for multiple game genres.” The controller is a blend of an analog pad, a fight stick, and a mechanical keyboard, combining a WASD D-pad, two thumb analog controls, and up to ten keys.

The stickless pad instead has two grippy trackball-like “thumb domes” which have been designed to maintain fine control without your thumbs having to move as far. The SWORL is ergonomically designed, with the player’s hands generally resting as far apart as they would on a standard ergonomic keyboard, and all the inputs sitting at approximately the same height.
