Genki has unveiled the Manta, a premium gaming controller priced at $279 available through Kickstarter. The device integrates a complete operating system and color display directly into the controller itself, enabling compatibility across multiple platforms including PCs, Nintendo Switch models, and mobile devices via USB-C, wireless, or Bluetooth connectivity. Beyond standard gaming features such as pressure-sensitive buttons and configurable trigger modes, the controller houses a built-in screen that manages all customisation settings—profiles, macros, and RGB lighting—typically requiring separate software applications.

The Manta's integrated display and onboard OS enable users to adjust settings directly on the hardware without external programs. A standout capability is a dedicated button that converts the controller into a keyboard or gyroscope-controlled mouse, facilitating Windows desktop navigation and game launcher access entirely from the controller. Though the extensive feature suite prompts questions about practical necessity, the design represents an advance in how peripheral technology can consolidate multiple input devices into a single, unified platform.
