File this under “Things that make you go, ‘Hmmm…'” Retro handheld maker Anbernik is launching a new controller with a screen. But unlike Nintendo’s Wii U controller, there’s no second-screen gaming capabilities here. Instead, the display is designed to “make customization intuitive and simple”. Oh, and the controller also has a heart rate sensor. Because, hey, if you’re going to be weird, I say totally commit!
The Anbernic RG G01 features a 2.5-inch HD display that the company describes as an “HD Smart Screen.” The idea is to remap buttons, change program macros and other settings without the need for software on a connected device.
Meanwhile, Anbernik says heart rate tracking helps you “monitor your well-being during intense sessions.” I hope people with heart disease will use something other than a gamepad to monitor their pulse. And I don’t know why anyone else would be concerned about it while gaming. (Too many Red Bulls?) Still, Ambarnik is leaning toward the novelty/curiosity spot here, so at least it fits the motif.
The RG G01 connects in three ways: Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4Ghz wireless and via a wire. It supports onboard calibration for triggers, joysticks, and 6-axis gyroscope. There are four programmable buttons (including macro support) on the back. The company promises a 1,000Hz polling rate in wired and wireless modes. The gamepad is compatible with PC, Switch, Android, and iOS.
We don’t yet know when this glorious oddity will arrive other than “coming soon.” We don’t even know how much it will cost. But you can watch the launch video below and find out if this is your kind of weirdo.
