A functional video game controller made of fabric
Making practical gaming accessory in style of cloth doll or plush toy
The idea is to create a unique video game controller by combining functional aspects of controller hardware with the aesthetic and tactile qualities of a themed cloth doll. The design aims to provide a comfortable and beautiful gaming experience by integrating soft, plush materials and imaginative themes, into a practical gaming controller.
Challenges
The main challenge here is to keep it playable for a good amount of time, without losing the soft and flexible nature of a plush doll. I imagine embedding a solid skeleton as a foundation for buttons so they don't move easily when they are pressed.
The other challenge would be to make it clean/washable.
Let’s imagine together ...
Handmade
If made by hand, it's more unique and has that special something.
I'd love to have one, and I think it can be a hit on the market.
