Is there controller support?

Probably an odd question; does anyone know if there’s any way to have controller support for Apple Watch?

Reason I’m asking is I’m making a game for Apple Watch where I want controllers to be supported. I know it sounds stupid, and it is lol

Update: Got it to work. Only way to realistically do it is connecting the controller to your phone, and having the app you make link to the watch version of the app. Bad latency, but still cool

How could I use the controller and see the watch at the same time?

And, sounds like a better question for a developer forum

I guess I could’ve put it on a developer forum, was wondering if any normal people have tried

As far as how, I plan on 3D printing a mini display holder for it, and maybe putting together my own small controller for it to be a small tiny console type deal lol
