Looking at these images, the game controller carries a relatively common design that can also be found with other VR based controllers. On the front it offers three buttons along with a joystick, which is likely for movement based controls and more. On the right side of the product, there is another mechanism that is visible, which might be another button or have some other function that is unclear at the moment. The Chinese tech giant has already ventured into VR technology with related headsets, so it is likely working on new controllers as well.
