First Image of Android L Game Controller for Android TV Revealed

[dgstorm]

The first image of the Android TV game controller has appeared online. It's possible this image is simply of an early prototype, but it looks like a final press render, so it's possible it will be the final shipping product. It was found by a Reddit user who was digging around in Android L. Here's a quote with a few more useful tidbits,

“The directory they were found in is: ‘sdk\samples\android-L\androidtv\visual-game-controller\res\drawable-xxhdpi,’” Reddit user bedofgoatturds wrote. “Reverse image search tells me that this is completely new, just thought I’d get it out there.”

The available images show the full controller (image above) but also different parts of the controller can be found in Android L files.

What do you think? It reminds us a bit of an Xbox controller and the OUYA controller...

Yeah I was just about to say is everybody copying the Xbox controller look now. Microsoft either have left the design language open or they are getting paid.

This is an image of the Fire TV Game controller

This is the Ouya

They all have similarities, but the FireTV and Google controllers look like pure plagiarism to me.

The joysticks are not offset lol, this will bug the crap out of me. It's the reason i hate the PS controllers.

Why is it X B A Y. Always. There are 22 other letters in thew alphabet people.
Is there some reason for that?

At least OUYA didn't use those. (And Sony, of course)
