But where the AYANEO 3 truly stands out is in its modular controller design. There are two pill-shaped cutouts on opposite sides to insert the different controller modules depending on your needs and preferences. There are three different modules and these are:

  • Standard Joystick Module – RGB Hall joystick + D-Pad + ABXY buttons with conductive rubber and thin-film micro-action versions
  • Touchpad Joystick Module – TouchTAPMagic smart touchpad with high sensitivity feedback for a mouse experience
  • Six-button Fighting Module – for fighting game enthusiasts

The first two support the ability to flip the module depending if you prefer the sticks on the top or bottom.

The company did this with micro-stepper motors and mechanical structures. You will need to go to AYASpace to select the module to eject and replace them. This will then allow the motor to release the latch of the module.
