Color me cautiously optimistic. It sounds like that could be really useful, but it doesn't look like it's going to fell to good to hold.
No rubberized sticks? This does not bode well... I'm still waiting on the MLG Pro Circuit controllers so I can finally get the 360 stick layout on my PS3.
@amtalx I bet mon will make you one for 50,000 bells.
and yeah, I like the screen but what is the battery life on that thing?

~.~ Thank you for reminding me how much I missed the VMU
One of the coolest little gaming widgets ever, Oh how I loved Pinta's Quest.

Looks pretty nice, but I've never owned a good 3rd party controller. Will definitely wait for a review.
Yeah, looks like crap. Hopefully Microsoft bans this '100% Unofficial' controller and I won't have to deal with a bunch of idiots rapid firing FAL's on Call of Duty because they can't develop any sense of skill.
It has some decent features aside from the crap tailored to shooter players who suck, but I can't imagine this thing holding up for very long. This looks like one of those Chinese knock off 100-in-1 game controllers you find at those dirty convenience store/$1 mart/check cashing/auto title loan stores.
Actually, I'd rather have one of those. There's a certain charm to an unstable, illegal foreign emulation of Super Mario Bros. Now if this doohickey had a screen that the actual game could use, like the VMU did, then I'd be interested. But it's only for changing the settings on the controller, which you can also do on a PC.

"For example, you can enter a menu to tweak the rapid fire rate, or set up custom combo moves."
Yup this needs to be banned off XBL.

I think that if they were to put so much investment in the screen, then they perhaps should have also invested a bit in the CONTROLLER ITSELF. That... THING... looks HIDEOUS.
the real future will revolve around a controller in a controller. The possibly an LCD in an LCD (true 3D?).
Nothing for nothing but everything about that controller looks like trash.
The coating on it looks about as bad as the one of the 3DS, so you know it'll not only collect dirt like a bandit, but it'll also find a way to chip off or crack.
They didn't option to put a proper D-pad on it, instead they went for something SIMILAR to the 360's traditional d-pad, but made it look highly pasticy, almost -curiously- like they want you to know it'll probably preform worse then your average 360 controller.
See that battery gauge on that screen? Thats going to tell you how little time your going to have as that screen sucks the life from your batteries.
Those sticks look PAINFUL. Something about the idea that they'll rub up against and crack your bones, and not give like rubberized pads would, makes my hands hurt just thinking about it. The only saving grace to this is the pads won't wear out.. Okay good.. but if I drop it will the sticks crack off? The cheap plastic look whispers no, to me.
Things also probably going to be heavy. I know theres going to be quite a few people who'll hate that about it.
I hope I'm wrong about this and the picture just isn't justifying a great product.. But we've seen stuff like this pop up for generations, and its hard to shake a feeling this is just another one of those times. (the low price point is worry some as well)

Coating? That's just shitilly made plastic. I've had a third party pad that looked like that. Smooth plastic. It's like holding onto a bar of soap.
This is not what XBox 360 owners need, what they need is a functional directional pad. Then, and only THEN, we'll talk.
so you can enter in combos then instantly perform them with a single press? This could make street fighter veeeery different.
