Genki Manta: The Controller That Does Everything for You
22.08.26
Popular gaming accessory manufacturer Genki has officially announced its first premium gamepad—the Genki Manta. The new product is aimed at professional esports players and demanding enthusiasts, offering a deep level of customization without the need for third-party software.
Genki Manta Controller
The primary technical advantage of the controller is its integrated 2.79-inch color display. The system runs on a specialized operating system called MantaOS, based on the Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller. The screen turns the device into a self-contained gadget, allowing users to configure macros, switch profiles, adjust stick dead zones, and fine-tune haptic feedback in real time without needing a computer or smartphone.
The controller’s interface also includes a built-in virtual keyboard function. Using the back buttons, users can quickly send messages in game chats without ever letting go of the gamepad.
Technical Specifications and Capabilities
The controller is equipped with modern magnetic TMR sticks that allow for mechanical adjustment of tension. For precise control, the TriStage triggers support three actuation modes: analog (classic), Rapid, and digital (instant).
- Polling rate: 8,000 Hz (wired mode), 1,000 Hz (2.4 GHz wireless radio channel).
- Additional controls: six programmable buttons and an Action Timeline system for macros.
- Battery life: swappable 2,600 mAh battery.
- Compatibility: PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch/Switch 2, Android, iOS, Apple Vision Pro.
Release Date and Pricing
Shipments for the Genki Manta are scheduled to begin in early 2027. Currently, fundraising is underway on the Kickstarter platform.
| Status | Price |
| Kickstarter Backer Price | $189 (7750 ₴) |
| Retail Price (Planned) | $279 (11450 ₴) |
The Genki Manta is a tool for pros who value flexibility and speed. Thanks to the MantaOS hardware foundation and advanced sensors, the device stands out as a powerful alternative to classic gamepads. It is the choice for those ready to invest in ergonomics and avoid having to tinker with third-party drivers during a high-stakes match.
