In order to make the experience completely satisfying the controller has to be as comfortable as the rest of the environment. In order to make the gaming experience the most optimal, designers regularly use consumer input to create new innovative designs to satisfy the consumers.

Process of Ergonomic Design
In resolution to the determination of the design processes, the of history ergonomics comes into play. The wheel doesn't need to be invented again; it just needs configurations to improve on its ability to satisfy and provide for the users experiences. In attempt to improve on the technicality of the controller, prototypes of all sorts are developed and tested. The problems are then over viewed for proper adjustments. In the world of input systems physical health is a major aspect in the development of a controller. Other research factors such as investments, materials, and the consumers are also taken in consideration during research analysis. Many problems found during the controller design process are addressed and fixed by ergonomics.

Practicality
A gaming controller is simple, yet, it isn't. It's user interface could be as complex as a keyboard or simple as a mouse. Balance is where these elements meet together to form the perfect controller. In the masses of game buttons, analog sticks, and bumpers, only a select few are chosen or improved. Compatibility is the new norm when it comes to design. Practicality meets aesthetics in the design process of a controller. Here product design meets with marketing strategies to create new innovations.
The basis for the controller has to start off with the button and analog sticks. Simple as that, these control systems provide for our operating input system. In order to provide for comfort the body shell of the controller needs to be addressed. Bending the naturalness of the human bodies restful nature can lead to a series of physical impairments. |
