Retro handheld maker Anbernic has a new gamepad with a screen and heart rate sensor
Anbernic has unveiled the RG G01, a controller featuring a 2.5-inch HD "smart screen" intended for on-device customization of controls, macros and settings without external software. The controller includes a heart-rate sensor marketed for monitoring during intense sessions. The RG G01 offers Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz wireless and wired connections, onboard calibration for triggers, joystick and a 6-axis gyroscope, and four programmable rear buttons with macro support. The device promises a 1,000Hz polling rate in wired and wireless modes and compatibility with PC, Switch, Android and iOS. Release date and pricing remain unannounced.
"File this one under "Things that make you go, 'Hmmm...'" Retro handheld maker Anbernic is launching a new controller with a screen. But unlike Nintendo's Wii U controller, there's no second-screen gaming capability here. Instead, the display is designed to "make customization intuitive and effortless." Oh, and the controller also has a heart rate sensor. Because, hey, if you're going weird, I say fully commit!"
"The RG G01 connects in three ways: Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4Ghz wireless and over a wire. It supports onboard calibration for the triggers, joystick and 6-axis gyroscope. There are four programmable buttons (including macro support) on the backside. The company promises a 1,000Hz polling rate in wired and wireless modes. The gamepad is compatible with PC, Switch, Android and iOS."
