We'll let you know when the campaign launches. No spam, unsubscribe in one click.
All the control in the palm of your hand.
Analog joystick, mechanical switches, and real ergonomics. This is what gaming with Kite Controller feels like.
From idea to product
Don't take our word for it
Click-to-move vs joystick: the same in-game situation, two ways to control it.
⌨️ Keyboard + Mouse (LoL style)
🎮 Kite Controller (joystick + mouse)
Why does the keyboard hold you back?
⌨️ Traditional keyboard
- Only 4 directions (digital WASD)
- Must stop moving to use abilities
- Forced wrist position
- Lost time switching between keys
🕹️ Kite Controller
- 360° continuous analog movement
- Abilities without releasing movement
- Natural hand ergonomics
- Zero transition time

360° Analog Movement
The thumb joystick gives you continuous directional control — not limited to 8 directions. Fluid movements like a gamepad, with keyboard precision.
4 Mechanical Switches
Each finger (index, middle, ring, pinky) has its own mechanical switch. Tactile and precise keypresses — they feel like a premium gaming keyboard.
Simultaneous Actions
Move the joystick while pressing any button combination. Flash + movement in LoL no longer requires releasing WASD — your thumb never stops.
Plug & Play
Connects via USB and presents itself as a standard keyboard. Works with any game without extra software — Windows, Mac, Linux.
Vertical Ergonomics
The vertical conical design follows the natural position of a relaxed hand. Reduces wrist strain compared to the horizontal keyboard position.
Fully configurable
Remap every button and the LEDs with the companion app over USB. Create per-game profiles and take them anywhere.
Your competitive edge
Move your champion with the joystick while casting abilities. Flash + movement without losing a millisecond.
Fluid analog strafing with abilities ready at all times. More natural counter-strafing.
Build, jump, and move simultaneously. Perfect for games with many actions per minute.
Keep movement fluid while jumping, reloading, swapping weapons, or triggering equipment without losing mouse control.
From prototype to your hands
Here's where we stand. No dates: we'd rather tell you about each step once it's done than promise something we can't deliver.

Testing in games
Real MOBA, shooter and battle royale matches to tune the joystick and the position of every key. Along the way we built the app to configure it.
