Innovative SWORL Controller Redefines Arcade Experience on Switch, PC, and Beyond
London, UK – November 16, 2023 – A new arcade controller, the SWORL, is challenging conventions with its unique layout and broad game compatibility, offering a premium experience for fighting game enthusiasts and beyond. Developed by Junkfood Arcades, the SWORL boasts a customizable design and multi-platform support, earning an 8/10 rating from Nintendo Life.
The SWORL arrives in two models: the SWORL Basic, priced at $175, supports PC and Switch/2, while the Sworl Multiconsole, at $225, adds immediate compatibility with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X via a built-in Brook chip.
Reviewers highlight the controller’s comfort – once configured – and its surprisingly effective thumb domes. Additional features include tactile switches, customizable RGB lighting, and a included carry case. While the default layout may require remapping for optimal use with certain games, the SWORL’s configurator tool allows for extensive personalization.
