Maybe its designed to be a wireless controller for a psp! Has the same amount of buttons + only 1 stick!
Weeeeell... the PSP has 13 buttons. (triggers, □, △, ◯, X, Select, Start, Home, 2 volume, display, and sound.)
That controller, ignoring the possibility of another set of triggers behind the ones we can actually see has 10. We can assume that triggers, □, △, ◯, X, select and start are covered. However, that only takes up 8 buttons. So what function would they choose to use the 2 extra buttons for?
Yes, I am enjoying my over analyzing of this controller. :x I'm not even bringing up the idea of why anyone would need a wireless controller for a small portable game system.
