Saiga NAK
- Please briefly introduce yourself.

We are a company that "manufactures motherboards inside controllers". All the functions of the controller are contained in the chip, and we make all of them at our company in Shenzhen, China.

Saiga NAK
- In addition to controllers, you also have handhelds on display.

Yes, we have handhelds as well as controllers. We also produce the OS installed in the handhelds. We produce handhelds based on Android, Windows, and Linux, and we were the first company in China to incorporate Linux, so I would say that this is one of our strengths.

Saiga NAK
- What are some of your innovations in development?

The controller buttons can be changed within the handheld system, allowing players to customize the game to their own preferences.

Saiga NAK
- Any last words?

We also develop peripheral device control apps for Android and iOS, and have partnerships with many companies. We would be happy if you could try our controllers and the OS we have developed.
