4.1 Joystick Lift and Down Design

The controller features a unique Lift-Stick design. To protect the joysticks during transport, they can be pushed down into the controller body. To use, simply pull the joysticks up until they click into place. This design prevents accidental damage and makes the controller more compact for travel.
