Anbernic has been making a lot of moves recently. It just released the RG Vita and RG Vita Pro handheld consoles a few days ago, and the next day it released something new. This time it’s not a handheld console, but the handgrip that it has previously announced that can “measure heartbeats”! The official unboxing video of RG G01 has been officially released. By the way, all the features of this new controller are exposed. You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary controller!
Not just a handle, but also a built-in screen and heart rate sensor
When you first look at the RG G01, you might actually think it’s just another controller with a built-in display screen, but Anbernic has added a lot of features and even added heart rate sensors to the left and right grips. In other words, when players get too nervous or excited while playing, the controller will really know that your heartbeat is racing. The official has even designed a heart rate warning function. Players can set a numerical threshold, and the system will remind them if their heartbeat is too fast.
The video released this time mainly shows the unboxing content and appearance details. In addition to the controller itself, the box also comes with a mobile phone holder that can be mounted directly on the handlebar. It is obviously prepared for mobile gamers.
In addition, replacement rocker caps are also provided, especially the higher models, which are considerate designs for those who like the operational feel of long sticks. The overall accessories do not look like just entry-level products, but take a functional route.
Loaded with functions, including one-piece feel and customizable buttons
The specifications of the RG G01 are quite exaggerated, including a 2.5D curved IPS screen, six-axis gyroscope, customizable macro buttons, burst settings, dual-stage trigger lock, vibration feedback system and other functions, all packed into the same controller.
It also supports button reset and configuration directly on the handlebar, without the need for a computer or external software. In addition, there are four back buttons on the back, as well as additional buttons under the D-pad and under the right joystick, and the overall control freedom is quite high.
Supports a wide range of device types
In the video, the RG G01 is used with a variety of devices, including desktop computers, Switch 2, and even Linux handheld devices such as the RG40XXV. To a certain extent, this handle is almost a cross-platform universal design.
Interestingly, the official also showed that this handle can be used to operate a small handheld console. The picture looks a bit contrasting. After all, the handheld machine already has control keys, but as a result, a handle is added, and the picture becomes a bit comical.
Price and release date have not yet been announced
Although the unboxing video is six minutes long, the most critical information has not yet been made public. The official price and official release time of RG G01 have not yet been announced. For interested players, all they can know now is the function and appearance. The real market positioning will have to wait for follow-up news.
With Anbernic’s recent intensive launch of new products, the RG G01 is likely to be officially launched soon, but it is still in the sales stage.
