They\u2019re still two-handed symmetrical slabs built around adult grip dimensions, loaded with enough buttons to pilot a small aircraft. For a 10-year-old just getting into gaming, picking one up for the first time is a bit like being handed a TV remote and told to perform surgery, no sweat.<\/p>\n<p>The concept is called LEVION, and it proposes a split controller: two separate units, one per hand, each sized for a pre-teen\u2019s palm. It was designed as a rethink of the thumb stick from scratch, and the result looks like nothing in the current gaming peripheral market, which is mostly the point. And its inspiration comes from the most unlikely source you can imagine.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/vedika-bapat-63a6aa236\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vedika Bapat<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/03\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/levion-gaming-thumbsticks-concept-09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-613385\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/03\/11\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This seahorse-inspired game controller concept is made for smaller hands\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/03\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/levion-gaming-thumbsticks-concept-09.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/03\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/levion-gaming-thumbsticks-concept-09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-613385\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/03\/11\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This seahorse-inspired game controller concept is made for smaller hands\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/03\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/levion-gaming-thumbsticks-concept-09.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"9ef755aea8c8dbe907f96a37-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"9ef755aea8c8dbe907f96a37-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The form comes from a seahorse, specifically its upright posture, curved spine, and ridged body.

A standard PlayStation controller has two joysticks, a D-pad, four face buttons, four shoulder buttons, and several system controls. LEVION offers a joystick, three face buttons, and one shoulder button per hand. For casual and younger audiences, that might be exactly right. For anything more demanding, the math gets uncomfortable, and the concept doesn\u2019t address how that gap closes when the pre-teen turns 13.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/03\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/levion-gaming-thumbsticks-concept-07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-613392\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/03\/11\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This seahorse-inspired game controller concept is made for smaller hands\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/03\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/levion-gaming-thumbsticks-concept-07.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/03\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/levion-gaming-thumbsticks-concept-07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-613392\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/03\/11\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This seahorse-inspired game controller concept is made for smaller hands\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/03\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/levion-gaming-thumbsticks-concept-07.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s worth taking seriously, but it doesn\u2019t diminish what LEVION gets right in the space it occupies. The design\u2019s own research board lists the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons as a reference point, and the parallel is fair: the Joy-Con also split a standard controller into two smaller units and found an audience that didn\u2019t know it needed that format. LEVION asks the same question one step earlier in the age range, in a form that a kid might actually want to reach for.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/03\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/levion-gaming-thumbsticks-concept-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-613393\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/03\/11\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This seahorse-inspired game controller concept is made for smaller hands\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/03\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/levion-gaming-thumbsticks-concept-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/03\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/levion-gaming-thumbsticks-concept-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-613393\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/03\/11\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This seahorse-inspired game controller concept is made for smaller hands\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/03\/this-seahorse-inspired-game-controller-concept-is-made-for-smaller-hands\/levion-gaming-thumbsticks-concept-01.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"yanko-preferred-source\" style=\"margin: 24px 0 16px;
