People keep using weird things for controllers in Overwatch,Thailand and this guy's latest setup is no exception.
Twitch user Rudeism crafted a controller using a toy bow, allowing him to fully immerse himself into the hero Hanzo. Not only that, he managed to get a double kill while doing it:
If you're wondering how he's moving around, check the bottom-right corner of the video. That's a Dance Dance Revolutiondance pad.
Even Rudeism seems surprised that he managed to land those two shots.

Pulling the bow string readies Hanzo's bow, releasing the string fires an arrow, tapping the string quick-fires an arrow, and touching different parts of the bow triggers Hanzo's other abilities and moves his aim around.
He goes over how it all works while practicing in this video:
This isn't Rudeism's first rodeo with a weird controller. A week before he busted it out, he hooked up his Makey Makey board to a bunch of bananas.
And of course he used his bizarre banana setup to play as Winston:
It looks a lot more complicated and a lot less fun compared to the bow controller, but equally awesome.
A romp through Rudeism's video library shows a vast array of odd controllers being used to play different games, including a Guitar Heroguitar to play Doom,a fightstick to play as Overwatchhero D.Va and a dance pad to play World of Warcraft.
It's anyone's guess what kind of controller he'll make next.
