[Purist 134]

Spotted by us, the patent titled ‘Charging device for removable input modules’ was filed by Redmond-based Microsoft in 2017 and published by USPTO on July 9, 2019. The patent applications and drawings detail a removable controller for mobile/handheld devices (such as smartphones, tablet computers, portable games consoles).

They already showcased their mobile phone and tablet controllers though so it's nothing new.

 

It looks pretty fucking horrible though, there is no way to make good attachable controls to a god damn phone. I bet Sony will copy this as well and it will suck major ass as well.
