Malublyat is described in Chinese articles as a “well-known tech uploader” (thanks to Jeremy for the translation). The engineer has a strong record of creating wild video game controllers and funny devices. Here he is buildinga mounted machine gun that glows so hot you can light a cigarette on it. And here is ananti-aircraft gun that can swivel aroundas you fire into the digital skies. You may have already seen this viral video on TikTok: adesk with built-in recoil to be paired with CS:GO.

Marketing stunt or not, I respect and fear the human ability to engineer wild (possibly unsafe) controllers for the purposes of entertainment. If you like this sort of thing, there were many other weird controllers and games on display at EGX a couple of years ago, includinga game played with a Morse code machine and a warped pool table.
