Switch Accessory Makes Controller Look Like A Puppy
After the Switch's reveal, fans on the internet realized that the joycons attached together in their shell looked a lot like an off-center dog face. Now an accessory is coming out to complete the illusion.
Hyperkin, known for Retron consoles and smaller, portable versions of consoles, is releasing something called the "Pupper" controller grip. It grip angles the joycons in slightly, pushing the grips out to better resemble ears, and make the lights look more like pupper eyes. Oh, and of course, puppy mouth stickers.
The Hyperkin Pupper controller also charges the joycons, something the standard grip does not do. It also takes the USB-C connection for faster charging as another method for charging your joycons.
