Introduction
The Prism is an ergonomic 3D printed case for Super Smash Bros with a snap-fit rear panel that is also a rapid internal cable harness. The USB-C port is internally mounted, and you get a USB-C cable for the GameCube.
Performance
The Prism sports the layout popularized by the likes of the Frame1 controller, with a reinterpretation that makes the action clusters rotated distally along the roll axis, inward on the yaw axis, and forward in pitch, all of which is to eliminate the need for the forearm pronation & ulnar deviation.
With the Prism, the idle stance of your fingers can be in a naturally curled state, improving reaction time. Furthermore, the tighter distance between the keys allows you to use your whole thumb to trigger the five-button action cluster with minimum movement. The controller is recommended for desk play, but if you have shoulder issues, its width may not be optimal for you.
Regarding the Prism’s keycaps, they are textured PBT XDA and DSA. As for the switches, the left side features Kailh Speed Silver switches with 4 mm O-rings, and the right side features Gateron Clear switches with 2 mm O-rings. The Clears are smoother than the Speed Silvers and have a tactile bump.
Hardware
The Prism’s case is printed with a CR-6 Max, and it is made of laser-cut cast acrylic or aluminum bottom panels with a grip pad for stability purposes while placing the controller on your lap. It feels well made.
The 133 MHz ARM Cortex processor found in the Raspberry Pi Pico is featured to ensure the lowest latency in console and USB modes as well as the widest compatibility. There are Kailh hot swap PCB sockets in addition.
Appearance
The Prism looks quite elegant, and the many possibilities of color combinations mean that your taste can be adequately represented when you take this innovation to the next Smash tournament. For aesthetic purposes, you can add a front logo or tag as well as choose from different colors for the case.
Conclusion
The Prism is up there with the best ergonomic Smash controllers to conquer the next tournament.
