Queering Controllers

Queering Controllers

“I take ‘queering’ in its verb form to mean reorienting, redirecting, deviating from and causing deviating, altering the established heterosexist hegemony that has such a strong hold on mainstream games.” ---  Jess Marcotte
I have developed a unique series of controllers that redefine the conventional gaming controller paradigm. Inspired by Marcotte's five key elements of game controllers—flow, game feel, control literacy, procedural rhetoric, and embodiment—each design in my series offers an innovative interpretation of these aspects, pushing the boundaries of how we interact with and experience games.
