An Interview with Host No.4 Technology!
The blockquotes below are translated from Japanese.
― Please introduce yourself briefly.
Our company is a manufacturer that creates motherboards for controllers.
All of the controller's functions are integrated into a single chip, which we produce entirely in our facility in Shenzhen, China.
― We also see handhelds on display in addition to controllers.
That's right. We also create the OS that is installed on handhelds.
We base our development on three OSes—Android, Windows, and Linux—and it is our company's strength because we were the first company in China to incorporate Linux.
― What do you focus on in your development?
Within the handheld system, it is possible to remap the controller's buttons, allowing players to customize and play games to their liking.

― What's one final message you'd like to share?
We also develop peripheral control apps for Android and iOS, and we have formed partnerships with many companies.
We hope you will try our controllers and the OS we developed.
