Using the HTC Vive's motion sensing controller, the new game from Mazebert lets you feel the hilt of the lightblade in your hand as you swing it, rather than pressing buttons and toggling joysticks.
|
|
Understandably, many concerned experts have suggested a variety of physical-activity interventions, from more sports programs to the use of "active" video games that allow children to move without relinquishing their screens and joysticks.

He might even replace springs and screws to ensure that the joysticks have proper give; he rebuilds arcade machines not just for looks, but for the durability and wear that they were designed to endure.
|
|
Depending on how you build the controllers on the Scuf website, you can choose to tweak the triggers, joysticks, and D-pad, opt for different size paddles on the back, and even switch out the grips.
|
|
Users can now customize the controller as deeply as they can Valve's own Steam Controllers, allowing them to map custom functions to the DualShock's touchpad and gyroscope, as well as reconfigure the traditional buttons and joysticks.
|
|
With an 80-inch screen, a massive 16-inch trackball, eight buttons, and two joysticks, players can attempt to enjoy over 250 classic arcade titles served up by a full-blown Windows PC hidden away inside.
|
|
But instead of having drivers steer with finicky touchscreen controls via a smartphone or tablet app, the Hot Wheels AI set includes two dedicated RC controllers, with analog joysticks and triggers for precise steering and acceleration.
|
|
He describes his approach to his joysticks as "organic and minimalist"—and moving against the prevailing trend among arcade controllers for home consoles of being akin to literal replicas of what's usually found in arcade cases.
|
|
"Dozens of Nintendo Switch owners have complained about Joy-Con drift for months; the lawsuit alleges that Nintendo "fails to disclose the defect and routinely refuses to repair the joysticks without charge when the defect manifests.
|
|
He wears goggles that show him a video feed from a camera built into the drone, and he holds a console with twin joysticks that control the direction, angle, pitch, yaw, and speed of the flight.
|
|
Others say the joysticks built into the included Joy-Con are different from the old ones, and claim that means they've been improved, perhaps to fix the Joy-Con drift issue that Nintendo itself recently acknowledged.
|
|
It's available in yellow and teal — sorry, gray Switch Lite owners — and features largely the same buttons and functionality as the built-in controls, except with a pair of D-pads in place of the joysticks.
|
|
Tiny Arcades, brought to life by Super Impulse in its line of World's Smallest products, are pocket-sized arcade cabinets featuring equally miniature versions of classic arcade games complete with tiny joysticks and even tinier buttons.
|
|
Recreated using the original schematics and cabinet artwork, everything on these miniature arcade machines—the buttons, the joysticks, the coin slots—should be just like the versions you played as a kid, minus the sticky spilled soda.
|
|
Consequently, Loro has been designed to be as accessible as possible, with a tablet interface that can be navigated using gaze tracking (via a Tobii camera setup) or other inputs like joysticks and sip-and-puff tubes.
|
|
But it's fair to say that the uptake of these interfaces has lagged more traditional options, be it joysticks or touchscreens, so gesture tech feels more obviously suited to more specialized niches (such as VR) at this stage.
|
|
After generations of gaming hardware that has converged around two joysticks, some shoulder triggers, and a lot of face buttons, the Switch has found a way to emulate that familiar layout while also enabling some other weird tricks.
|
|
Like the Wii and Wii U versions before it, the Switch Pro Controller feels more like a standard Xbox One gamepad, with larger joysticks, a D-pad in lieu of four grouped buttons, and a more comfortable grip.
|
|
On the remote's face are a pair of easy-to-reach joysticks, four switches (each with between two and three options), a pair of dials, buttons for photos and videos, two D-pads and a power slider button.
|
|
Gone are the joysticks and keyboard commands; your face and hands are your interface in VR, and even something as simple as looking over your own virtual shoulder (yes, that's possible) pulls you deeper into the immersive experience.
|
|
The buttons and joysticks are the same as the ones on the original Switch's Joy-Con controllers (a Nintendo representative confirmed that they use the same hardware), so it still feels like you're playing on a regular Switch.
|
|
Gamers can also use it to tweak the controller by adjusting the sensitivity of the joysticks and shoulder buttons, inverting the axis, or even completely remapping what each button does, saving to profiles that can be easily recalled later.
|
|
You can fly the drone with a bona fide set of joysticks this time at up to 1003 miles per hour, with Skydio's second-gen autonomy engine promising to keep the drone from crashing into anything while you do.
|
|
Those controls felt far more clicky and stiff than the joysticks and buttons on the arcades we remembered playing as kids, but they still felt far more natural than using simulated on-screen controls to play these classic titles.
|
|
A robot based on MIRO would let surgeons rely on touch as well as sight, since MIRO's instruments are equipped with force sensors that relay feedback to the joysticks used to operate them, and thus to the operator's hands.
|
|
Instead of a pint-sized console with wired controllers like the NES Classic Edition, the console itself is a 3D recreation of the Capcom logo with two sets of "competition class" Sanwa joysticks and arcade buttons built right in.
|
|
This miniature eye-probing bot is meant to provide greater precision and less human error than a doctor's fleshy fingers, but it still relies on a human surgeon controlling it using joysticks, with some help from motion-sensing algorithms.
|
|
While working with the Department of Energy we found that operators who had spent many years honing their ability to drive robots with joysticks were quite resistant to the notion that the robots could do the driving for them.
|
|
The Pro puts these two buttons in a much more natural spot in the middle of the controller, easily accessible by your thumbs, while on the Joy-Con grip they're awkwardly placed close to other buttons and one of the joysticks.
|
|
As you can see in the above video, there's not much to this thing: just eight rotors joined together by a skeletal frame, a couple of joysticks, and what appears to be a couple of batteries located under the rider.
|
|
Now, it's paying homage to another classic, the Apple II. The company's new Kickstarter project seeks funding for a game controller called the AP40, featuring a full load-out of buttons, analog joysticks and compatibility with a number of devices.
|
|
It has two large programmable buttons and 19 jacks that can be connected to a range of joysticks, buttons, and switches to make it easier for a wider range of people to play games on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs.

The company recently released its Xbox Adaptive controller for players with disabilities, which has two large programmable buttons and 19 jacks that can connect to joysticks and other accessories for people to play games on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs.
|
|
But you won't be able to feel like you're on the Red Planet: you're just sitting on a chair holding two joysticks, looking at a computerized version of a Martian landscape that looks more stunning on an actual 2D photograph.
|
|
It boasts two different joysticks in its design: one that is controlled by the mouse's shell that you can move on an axis, and an analog stick on the side of the mouse that you can move with your thumb.
|
|
Available come September, the Atari Flashback 8 Gold is essentially a crash course in the history of video games, and includes a pair of wireless joysticks, 720P HDMI output, and the ability to save, pause, or rewind any game you're playing.
|
|
But even when the progression of the condition prevents them from being able to talk, keeping their head upright allows them to use their eyes as joysticks for computer-based communication tools, such as the one Stephen Hawking relied on.
|
|
It features two large programmable buttons and 19 jacks that can be connected to a range of joysticks, buttons, and switches to make it easier for a wider range of people to play games on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs.
|
|
This is a full-on analog controller if you want it to be, similar in concept to the "hat" switches that used to be popular on joysticks; one common use case for those was looking around a flight simulator cockpit.
|
|
Video games were popularized decades ago in public arcades, where kids and adults alike spent many hours and quarters playing titles like "Galaga," "Contra, Donkey Kong," and "Pac-Man" on bulky standing machines with built-in joysticks and flickering CRT monitors.
|
|
Currently, you can only really use the Switch's touchscreen to select a video and scrub forwards and backwards using the timeline at the bottom, but if you want to navigate YouTube's main interface, you'll have to rely on the system's buttons and joysticks.
|
|
The design of the SN30 Pro is unmistakingly based on the Super Nintendo's gamepad, but there are a few small updates, in addition to the added joysticks, that make it feel ever-so-slightly different when playing classic 8 and 16-bit games.
|
|
Switch Style ControllersGamevice Controller (iOS)The closest you'll get to recreating the Nintendo Switch's form factor is the $100 Gamevice that wraps your smartphone in a pair of halved controllers featuring analog joysticks, a directional pad, and a set of four action buttons.
|
|
With a joystick on the left, and space for big, wide, slappable buttons on the right, the NX's controller could draw committed fighters back to Nintendo's console, especially if they can select modifications that use their favorite switches, joysticks, and other components.
|
|
But 8Bitdo's new SNES30 Pro adds dual analog joysticks, extra shoulder buttons, rumble support, motion controls, USB-C charging, and Bluetooth, allowing you to also play Zelda: Breath of the Wild with it, or games on your PC, Mac, or Android mobile device.
|
|
The Switch Lite promises a better design for gaming on the go, but Nintendo has only just revealed what is possibly the best new feature for improved portability: a snap-on case with a flip cover for protecting the console's screen and joysticks.
|
|
This streamlined alternative is exactly what the Switch Lite needs; it adds minimal bulk while ensuring the console's delicate joysticks don't get banged around or snagged in your bag or deep pockets, and it protects that plastic screen from getting horribly scratched up.
|
|
Screenshot: Alexis Javier (YouTube)A teardown of the new Nintendo Switch Lite shared on YouTube revealed the new handheld console's joysticks are very similar to those used on the original Switch, leading many to speculate that joystick drift could still be a problem.
|
|
All that said, Razer says they'll deliver 100+ hours of gaming on a charge, which is quite a bit, and will let you remap buttons and even change the sensitivity on its large, Switch-like joysticks as well as offering native support for many games.
|
|
The design borrows from the classic NES design from Nintendo for its color scheme and graphics, but unlike the original NES Arcade Stick, 8bitdo's version has a full complement of buttons for modern games, is customizable with Sanwa joysticks and has built-in turbo capabilities.
|
|
Thankfully, Spin Master includes a Star Trek-themed physical controller with its USS Enterprise that includes two joysticks for steering and maneuvering the drone, shoulder buttons that trigger sound effects from the original TV series, and adjustment buttons that help ensure the craft doesn't drift.
|
|
Thanks to the use of the Wii hardware the handheld can also easily handle Gamecube titles too—and his decision to emulate the layout of the Gamecube's controllers for the joysticks and buttons means this is the best way to take Super Smash Bros.
|
|
But it adds a pair of analog joysticks to the mix, positioned similar to where you'd find them on the Playstation's DualShock controller, as well as additional shoulder buttons to match what the Switch's Joy-Con controllers can do, and a USB-C charging port.
|
|
Now, IRL-toymaker Hasbro is betting it can convince gamers to put down their joysticks and play an old-school board game — the company is partnering with "Fortnite" publisher Epic Games on a version of "Monopoly" based on the massively popular multiplayer survival game.
|
|
If you want to play on a bigger screen, the tablet can be connected to an external monitor or TV. The Concept UFO has a large, 8-inch display and is full of Alienware-esque design flourishes, like joysticks that glow at their base.
|
|
With its poor Wi-Fi range, there was no point in using the virtual joysticks to fly it even across a stream to check out something on the other side — the image would get choppy, cut out, and the drone would be forced to return.
|
|
Besides, it's a minor trade-off made for the greater good because by moving things around, 28Bitdo has managed to make room for extra function buttons and a pair of analog joysticks on the SN216 Pro, so it can be used to play modern titles too.
|
|
These controllers, for those who may have never held one, place paddles underneath the grips of the gamepad, and you can create custom button mappings so that you never have to take your thumbs off the joysticks to perform actions like jumping, reloading, or switching weapons.
|
|
Also, the remote — while offering real-time updates on altitude GPS and satellite availability, current position, altitude, speed, distance from pilot and photography presets, as well as a 7-inch-screen, two joysticks, five switches and a bunch more buttons — is very big and can be tricky.
|
|
On the bottom half you have the two standard joysticks you'd expect on a drone — the left controls altitude and yaw, or the direction the drone faces, and the right controls pitch and roll, the movements that tilt the drone so it can fly in different directions.
|
|
It's not the flashiest case on the market, but it does the basics: it protects the Switch, it has a fold-down cover to keep the screen from getting scratched up, and it cleverly has some dimples on the cover so the joysticks don't get ruined.
|
|
When compared side-by-side to 8Bitdo's SN30 (pictured on the left) which is an identical (but wireless) SNES controller clone, you can see that the SN30 Pro's directional pad and Y, X, B, A-buttons have been shifted slightly upwards to make room for the two new joysticks.
|
|
Previous Daimler and Mercedes-Benz concepts have experimented with joysticks and other non-conventional ways to operate driving functions, but this is a clear sign Daimler, at least, can see that the self-driving car of the future probably doesn't need to be set up like a driver's car.
|
|
The self-contained controller design and simple button layout (two joysticks, a launch button, return home button on the face and a couple of shoulder dials and buttons for things like recording and controlling the gimbal) is one way to entice beginners to feel comfortable flying the Karma.
|
|
But the Switch Lite is an all-in-one machine, and repairing its analog joysticks requires the entire console to be disassembled; that's extensive surgery that will require it being shipped off to Nintendo or a repair center to complete, which many users have reported takes a few weeks.
|
|
Even functional motorized shoes probably wouldn't ease the frustration of traveling through huge 3D games like Fallout 4 in VR. But that's not because of the tech — it's because those game worlds are designed for keyboards and joysticks, and your legs will get tired a lot faster than your thumbs.
|
|
Screenshot: 8BitDoIn addition to programmability, the feel and responsiveness of the SN30 Pro+'s analog buttons and joysticks can also be customized and tweaked so they're more or less responsive, and those customizations can be saved and reloaded so the controller can be adjusted on a game by game basis.
|
|
There's certainly no shortage of wands, joysticks, and controllers that can be used with VR and MR headsets, but Wacom has done a solid job at making a stylus-driven two-dimensional tablet—which countless designers and artists are already intimately familiar with—feel like a comfortable way to work and be productive in 503D.
|
|
Amidst numerous photographs of the console's circuit boards and chassis, the company claimed that the molds for the plastic housing of the console are "largely complete," that its controllers and joysticks are "just about ready for mass production," and that it expects to host hands-on preview events for the console later this fall.
|
|
But in my favorite Switch mode—which I call Cozy Boy Mode, and entails using each of the joysticks separately with your arms dangling to your side like a drunk seal on a couch, but which is so much better than holding a normal controller in your lap or whatever—it's really awkward and annoying.
|
|
Microsoft is now opening up the connection to PC makers, as well as accessory manufacturers, which should mean not only gaming rigs equipped to talk to Xbox One controllers without dongles, but also joysticks, headsets, alternative controllers and other add-ons which can communicate directly to both PCs and Xbox consoles out of the box.
|
|
But if a video shared by Alexis Javier yesterday is to be believed, which shows the camera in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild spinning all by itself after one of the sticks is gently nudged, the Switch Lite's joysticks are susceptible to the same drift problem as the original models are.
|
|
"Our findings could move us a step closer to helping tetraplegic patients to drive computers using brain signals alone, perhaps starting with driving wheelchairs using brain activity instead of joysticks and progressing to developing an exoskeleton for increased mobility," Professor Stephan Chabardes, a neurosurgeon from Grenoble University Hospital and author of the study, said in a press release.
|
|
But I would feel weird if I didn't mention one slightly more expensive, slightly less faithful option that I would definitely buy instead: the $45 8Bitdo SF30 Pro / SN30 Pro, a modernized take on the SNES controller with enough buttons and joysticks to play practically any Switch game, and that also pairs with Windows, Android, and MacOS.
|
|
It might be perfect for the would-be drone hobbyist who wouldn't risk $1,000 on their ability to master a pair of joysticks, or the amateur who needs a tracking shot of a moving person or vehicle, or the influencer who wants a flying camera to follow their exploits (it'll even record audio from your phone while flying).
|
|
It feels very arcade-y in that sense, a bit like the classic shooters of the '90s console era (think Goldeneye 007) blended but immerse VR mechanics and modern enemy AI. Moving around is performed with the Oculus Touch joysticks in the style of Marvel Powers United VR. And every action you take involves some type of physical action.
|
|
If you truly hate the feel of an Xbox One-style controller then you should go with a PS4-style device, but some controllers are objectively better, and the very best ones allow you to tweak little things like the joysticks and the draw strength on the triggers, so you can avoid annoyances and have the best gaming experience possible.
|
|
The tech now: The machines that are likely to displace workers in the next 10 to 15 years include the longwall machine (which cuts coal in mile-long strips without many employees), joysticks to mine by remote control (with the help of videos, sensors, and positioning software), autonomous haul loaders, autonomous trucks, autonomous long-haul trains, semi-autonomous crushers and more.
|
|
It's a miniature robotic arm designed to be simple enough for a child to put together, and it's controlled by both a pair of attached joysticks and more advanced coding through a Raspberry Pi. The company has also put together a simplified, block coding web application that makes it easy to start programming the arm through an internet-connected computer without necessarily needing to know how to code first.
|
|
The dust that settled on the exposed connector pins on some of the cartridges would remain until I blew them off again, roughly two decades later—around when I was ten, this time.. Busting open this trove of paraphernalia as a kid (and again a few weeks ago), the 2600 and its miniature mountain of cartridges were all strewn together into a congealed plastic mass, with yards of black cables from power supplies, joysticks, paddles, and coaxial splitters.
