What Brook Gaming does
Brook Gaming is a Taiwan-based specialty gaming peripherals company, operating as a brand under Zeroplus Technology Co., Ltd. (founded 2012, headquartered in New Taipei City). The company designs and sells hardware accessories that solve cross-platform controller fragmentation in gaming — its core products are the Wingman series of controller converters (P5, FGC Retro, FGC 2, XB 3, Xone SE 2), which enable use of Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and legacy controllers on non-native consoles with near-zero latency via proprietary Direct Connection Technology. The Gen-5 and Gen-5X fighting boards serve the DIY arcade stick and competitive fighting game community, featuring configurable SOCD modes that meet tournament standards including those used at EVO. Brook has also developed an AR gaming product line (Auto Catch Light, ARmate, Flashman) targeting Pokémon GO and similar titles with automation and precision control, with the Auto Catch Light alone having sold 60,000+ units globally.
The company serves two primary customer segments: the competitive Fighting Game Community (FGC), where it has built presence via EVO participation since 2016 and sponsorships of Capcom Cup 12 and Street Fighter League Pro-US, and AR gaming enthusiasts in the Pokémon GO ecosystem. Brook monetizes entirely through one-time hardware sales distributed via its own Brook Shop storefront, Amazon stores in 11+ countries (US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, UAE, Germany, UK, France, Spain, Italy), and a global authorized retailer network. Its go-to-market emphasizes community-led engagement through the Brook Creators influencer program, Discord servers, multiple YouTube channels, and active social media presence. The company recently expanded into first-party multi-platform controllers (StarRay, Fighter Starburst) and won EVO's Best Product 2025 award, signaling an extension beyond pure adapters into the broader peripherals category. Brook operates with 51-100 employees, is privately held by Zeroplus Technology, and has not raised external venture or private equity funding.
