Xbox made waves not too long ago with the hyper-customizable Adaptive Controller that features remappable physical buttons, 19 3.5 mm jacks for additional accessories, and switchable profiles for different games and use cases. With its latest patent, Sony looks to at least be considering going in a different direction with its adaptive controller design. A new patent, spotted by Insider Gaming, details a controller design with virtually no physical inputs, where players can configure their own layouts—no more arguments about offset vs in-line thumb sticks—and the layouts could potentially adapt to the user's needs.

Customizing the layout of what, exactly, if it doesn't have buttons? 🤔

If it's a touch screen type thing: Fuuuuuuck that noise. I have a Steam controller. It has similar buttons. They fucking suck. Same with modern phone touch screens. I want real, physical goddamn buttons.
