Genki Manta gaming controller launch

Overview

Genki has launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the Manta, a high-end gaming controller featuring a built-in color LCD screen between the analog sticks. The device runs on a proprietary operating system, MantaOS, which allows users to adjust hardware settings like trigger sensitivity and haptic feedback directly on the controller without external software.

Technical specifications include the use of Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) joystick technology to prevent stick drift, three-stage triggers, and a Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller. Connectivity options include Bluetooth, a 2.4GHz dongle, and USB-C, with a wired polling rate reaching 8000Hz. The controller also features a user-replaceable 2,600 mAh battery and can function as a mouse and keyboard for desktop navigation. Delivery is anticipated around February 2027.
