Yeah, I think there's some kind of new design similar to the switch's joycons that's floating around now because I saw a similar product about a week ago but instead of rotating modules you could remove and swap out similar components for customization. I don't know but it seems like this stuff could wear out/break sooner.

though with the victrix one, the modules you just pull out and pop in a different module. a friend of mine has one, but i think it crapped out on her in some way (i think within a year), so i get the impression its build quality isnt that great (she was mainly using it for fighting games)"

Yep, exactly, and the one I saw was an Xbox/PC COD-themed one about a week or so ago. Like said, there's a design floating around now.
