Not really sure what to say about this... I started out wanting to do something way less disturbing than the final result but it was too hard to resist a little bit of horror. Originally it was just lots of fingers. Comments and feedback welcome. Enjoy!

Standard controllers aren’t comfortable for everyone…
As an accessibility option for those that need it im all for it. As the standard control for ps6 helllll noo, touch controller would be the absolute worst.
Reading the patent itself this does seem to be intended with accessibility in mind as it attempts to solve comfort issues that some users have with overall size and placement. Im completely fine with the current layout but its nice to know this option is there. It is intended to allow customers the ability to resize the controller to there liking even those the company may not manufacture that size. So, its cool to see they are thinking like this even though this product may not be for me. I would still love to see it release and see the potential use cases.
This is interesting not only for accessibility reasons, but as a way to give players more control over their in game characters for core gamers.
I remember seeing the Tactus pop up buttons at CES 13 years ago and I was excited for the technology but I am not aware of any devices that used it.
The way gaming controllers are presented today is great, but I will always advocate for innovation in giving players more control and increased immersion.
Terrible idea. For most games, you need to feel the physical buttons because you're not looking at the controller. I hope they aren't serious.
Unless they've worked out a way for tactile feedback so you can feel them. Perhaps little air bladders that could inflate when a button is placed in that position, placed under a flexible screen? Maybe it wouldn't be the best controller for all of us, but I know people who have medical conditions that make holding traditional controllers very uncomfortable with their default button layouts, this could help them.
More accessibility options is never a bad thing, but man I hate that all electronics seem to be pushing touchscreen controls on everything.
They are just garbage
We are at the point in time when touch screen controls are cheaper to make than physical buttons. Just look at modern cars. More and more system controls are moved to the central screen now that all new cars come with screens. It's downright ironic too, considering just not that many years ago, people were warn to not use their phone while driving. Now all controls are moved to the central screen that you can't help but looking at screens while driving.
EXCEPT trying to connect your phone, lol. They make you stop to do that. But the big screen that is every bit as distracting as a phone, it's cool.
