Overwatch has a dedicated and perhaps slightly quirky community. Between cosplays and fanfictions, there is a fan who controls the heroes with crazy items – like now with a Fidget Spinner!
In Overwatch, some players already have trouble playing the game properly with a mouse and keyboard. The fast pace of the hero shooter doesn’t make it any easier. How about looking for controllers that aren’t really meant for gaming?
Fidgenji Spinner!
The YouTuber and streamer Rudeism has taken on this challenge. Time and again he brings amazement, admiration, and laughter to the community. He has made it his mission to play Overwatch as… strangely as possible.
In his latest project, he has wired a Fidget Spinner in such a way that he can control the already difficult-to-master hero Genji with it! At the moment, only throwing shurikens works, the controller is still in development:
The ultimate Genji controller.

Rudeism: The Master of Microwaves, Dance Mats, and… Bananas?
Rudeism has already presented many projects of this kind. In Overwatch, he played the supporter Symmetra and controlled her with microwaves. However, his performance with Winston was particularly crazy: He played the gorilla with bananas! And he did it quite well.
In World of Warcraft, the streamer was even honored in the game with his own NPC because he plays it with dance mats. So it is certain that his project with the Fidget Spinner and Genji will also come to a cheerful conclusion!
Benedict says: Cool idea, and this annoying toy fits quite well with Genji. Of course, only because of its shape… It’s amazing how well Rudeism can also implement his creativity practically. A true fan and tinkerer!
What do you think? Is a Fidget Spinner as a controller appropriate for the cyborg ninja? Would you try it, or rather stay away from it? Leave us a comment!
