Tactile gaming controller for mobile phones
We're building a physical controller that connects to mobile phones to give tactile buttons and joysticks for gaming. Our goal is to improve gameplay on handheld devices by replacing touchscreen controls with real buttons for a better experience.
We don't have a fixed location right now. After YC we'd likely base the company where Colton is located or wherever makes sense for early hardware manufacturing.
Since we are a solo founder team working remotely, our location is flexible. Post-YC, we expect to be close to manufacturing or partners to move faster.
