Genki is no stranger to video game accessories, but the company is venturing into the tightly contested space of controllers with a device aimed at gamers who enjoy fine-tuning their hardware–and having an LCD screen to help with customization. Genki’s new Manta controller has an unusual design, but it clearly has a ton of fans, as its Kickstarter campaign is doing some big numbers. While the company aimed to secure $100,000 in pledges, the crowdfunding push has already reached $371,000 at the time of writing this post.

The big draw to the Manta is the 2.9-inch LCD screen–which is positioned at the bottom of the controller–but it’s also packed with an absurd amount of tech that you won’t find in other controllers. Genki says the display will allow you to change profiles, inspect input mapping, test inputs, and confirm connections, just to start. While you’re playing a game, you can also check the connection, polling rate, and battery details, or make adjustments on the fly. The early-bird special for the controller on Kickstarter is $189, and after it launches, it’ll retail for $279. It’ll be compatible with PC, Switch, and Switch 2.
