No matter how long you've been a console gamer, you've been fortunate enough to enjoy a decent controller setup. Since the original NES layout, most of the mainstream controllers haven't undergone extreme evolutions, maybe a thumbstick here and a trigger button there, but the concept is still pretty much the same. Anyone that has tried to reinvent the wheel has typically failed miserably, which is why mLani Studios is instead attempting to combine two existing popular gaming devices, one of which doesn't even come from the console world, into a new breed of PlayStation 3 controller.

The company has revealed the early details surrounding the MoBi, the world's first wireless cross platform PS3/PC controller. In a nutshell, the MoBi is one part mouse, one part analog stick, with the idea being to basically take the functions of a standard PS3 controller and split it in half. The left hand analog stick will control movement, while a 2000 DPI laser mouse acts as the right analog stick. For console users the plan is to provide PC-esque movement and precision without the use of a keyboard, while giving PC gamers a more console feel to their games. PC function wise, the analog stick will have the WASD mapped to the buttons on the controller.The future of PlayStation/PC controllers? Who knows, we didn't think the Wii's unique control scheme would translate for gamers who had been use to a certain controller concept for over two decades, but look how that turned out. No pricing has yet been announced for the MoBi, which has a planned release for this spring.Interested in a PS3/PC controller hybrid, or is this just another flash in the pan idea?
