I tried googling and couldn't find it.. Does anyone know if there are any game controllers that are in 2 pieces? Like you hold the left thumbstick & buttons in your left hand in 1 piece, and your right hand stick and buttons in a whole separate piece? I remember Wii was like that, where you had the wii remote and a spearate thumb stick.. I thought that was a lot more comfortable than holding a one-piece controller. I think I saw something similar for VR games too, but I was hoping for something for a regular console or PC gaming.

Was just thinking something like that might be kinda cool, and you wouldn't need a wire connecting both pieces like Wii needed, since it could all be bluetooth these days. Anyone know if something like this exists?
 
Oh yeah, the switch.. forgot about that. I was thinking of something like an Xbox or Playstation controller sliced in half down the middle. That one Kickstarter looks kinda cool, it's $65 though. Wish I could try it before I buy it to see how it feels.
 


Yeah, I don't know of any that are like that offhand, but I also wouldn't trust kickstarter projects personally. They aren't typically under any obligation to do anything once you send them money. That just shows that there is somebody out there trying to do it.
