Hi Charles, Maybe, but there is a huge problem with your assumption here. You are assuming that a game controller requires some desk space which usually isn't the case. I can see it if the gamer is using a racing wheel or one of those pro flight controllers as those do take up a lot of room, but the majority of controllers don't require any desk space at all.
For example, let's talk about the Logitech F710 gamepad. It is basically a wireless controller, maybe six inches by four inches, with a couple of hand grips on each side, and buttons and thumbsticks on top. It is fairly small and is not intended to sit on a desk. The idea here is you hold it in your hands by gripping the hand grips and use your thumbs to press the buttons and control the thumbsticks on top of the unit. therefore while the controller is in use it doesn't use any desk space since presumably it will be in the gamer's hands not sitting on the desk. That's why I find Sean's claims about not having space for a controller rather dubious. these days controllers are fairly small, are meant to be held in the gamer's hand while in use, and long gone are the days when we had the big joysticks and other controllers that had to sit on the desk. Sure, I had some controllers like that maybe fifteen to twenty years ago, but these days I rarely have seen any controllers that would have to sit on a desk besides a specialty controller like a racing wheel or flight controller. Most gamepads are small and portable, and fit nicely into a laptop case or desk drawer when not in use. So having to move the keyboard out of the way to make room for the average game controller just isn't necessary. Cheers!
