First Look At Google's New Video Game Controller Leaks

3.9
A new trademark filed by Google may have just revealed what its controller will look like if and when the massive technological company enters the gaming space with a console.

More specifically, back in October Google filed a patent for a game controller with the United States Patent and Trademark Office that featured the following two controller concept designs:



Now, it's worth pointing out that in the patent itself Google outlines that "no attempt is made to show structural details in more detail than may be necessary for a fundamental understanding of the disclosed subject matter and various ways in which it may be practiced." In other words, this isn't what the final product will necessarily look like, it simply is an illustration to provide a foundational understanding of what it will generally look like and what functions it will perform.

As you can see, the controller doesn't deviate from the norms of controller design very much. And after reading through the patent, there's nothing there that suggests it will be anything revolutionary either. It basically looks like the baby of the DualShock 4 and Steam controller.

To provide a better look at what the controller may actually look like in real life, Yanko Design's Sarang Sheth mocked up a render based on the patent, which you can check out below:
