HORI WIRED MINI GAMEPAD

We appreciate that people don’t often think about a world in which Playstation controllers give birth to children – but we think you’ll agree that, if they did, those kids would probably look like Hori’s Wired Mini Gamepad. This officially licensed controller retains all the important buttons from its full-size counterpart, but some have been shrunken down to work in the smaller form factor. It’s clearly aimed at younger players with little hands – it even has a teeny touchpad. Somewhat disappointingly, this is a wired pad, but the cord is manageable at 3m long. On the plus side, that cord will make it much harder for junior gamers – not always the best losers – to throw it out of the window. from £25 / playstation.com
