PC gamers will argue that FPS games are best played with a keyboard and mouse combo, but console players might argue that using a gamepad is better. However we’re sure that both sides can agree that while the keyboard + mouse combo versus gamepad debate is up for debate, using bananas as controllers sounds a bit fruity (pun intended).

However according to a report from Polygon, Twitch streamer Rudeism has done just that. If you’re wondering why his handle sounds familiar, it is because Rudeism is known to have played games using unconventional controllers. For example earlier this year the gamer successfully managed to hit level 100 in World of Warcraft using nothing but dance pads, so the idea of him playing with banana controllers in a game of Overwatch isn’t too surprising.

According to Rudeism, at one point he had actually considered using peanut butter as a controller, but apparently the much beloved spread isn’t that great when it comes to conducting electricity. “I wanted to use peanut butter initially, but it turns out peanut butter doesn’t conduct electricity that well.”

Rudeism manages to stream a little over 2 hours of him playing Overwatch which is actually quite a long time (we would have been pretty frustrated 5 minutes in), and if you’d like to check it out, watch the video above for the details.
