The MOZER modular controller makes plug-and-play even more convenient

With swappable directional pads including a joystick, a D-Pad and a spring-loaded sling joystick, the Mozer gamepad is as versatile as it gets.

You don’t have to be a gamer to appreciate the convenience inherent in this design but it helps. The conceptual ‘MOZER Gamepad’ is a customizable video game accessory designed to offer avid players of various gaming titles a personalized experience.

It does this with an interchangeable directional pad and a series of plug-and-play components that can be swapped in and out depending on the game. The alternative modules are housed inside the left handle to ensure that they are on hand when jumping from game to game.

“The controller solves a fundamental issue—having a single joystick layout for a varied set of games,” explains industrial designer Dingyu Xiao. “For example, you’d need precise and fast input sticks for an FPS game, a D-Pad for sports titles such as FIFA, or a spring-loaded sling joystick for a tactile feel [when] shooting a stack of balls in pool.”

“The MOZER Gamepad makes all of this and more possible.”

Xiao is a designer at Chinese studio Suosi Design, which created the MOZER gamepad to enhance the capabilities of the gamer and prevent them from having to deal with the limitations of traditional controllers.
