Other bits of PC hardware might not be, but controllers are actually in a really good place right now. There are so many options for all kinds of feel, layouts, and designs, and many of them rival Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo for build quality, too. That’s why, when I saw a company touting itself as…
Intel has just announced some new processors for handheld gaming PCs, and everyone knows what that means: a new MSI Claw.

Sure there’s plenty of stellar animated shorts, but with a narrative this good, fans want to appreciate it all in one cohesive project. But so far that’s all it’s been: A dream.
