"HELIX is a biomorphic controller concept that borrows its overall stance from an owl, symmetrical, balanced, and ready to move. It's designed to come apart and fit back together easily, working as a single controller or as two separate pieces. The flexible shape is meant to follow how players actually sit and shift during long sessions instead of forcing one rigid grip that starts to ache after the third hour."
"When HELIX comes apart, each half becomes its own lightweight controller, complete with stick, buttons, and triggers. You can lean back, drop your arms to your sides, or rest them on the sofa back, each hand holding a separate piece. That freedom to spread out reduces tension in shoulders and wrists, which is when night-owl sessions stop feeling like work and start feeling comfortable again."
HELIX is a biomorphic game controller inspired by an owl’s balanced stance and designed to be ergonomic for long, late-night sessions. The controller can function as a single unified device joined by a small central bridge or split into two independent halves. Each half retains familiar controls—analog sticks, face buttons, and triggers—while the wing-like grips curve to support a more natural hand posture. The split configuration lets players relax their arms, reduce shoulder and wrist tension, and enables casual sharing or asymmetric two-player use without a second full gamepad. The shape encourages interaction and less hunching.
