10/7/2011



With gaming on tablets, the visual feel is often top-notch, but the controls are uncommon at best -- even incommensurate at times. But adding a acknowledged joystick is impractical, especially when aesthetics is a key selling point for manufacturers. Chicago-based Knowles vcrs has a fairly practical solution, however, and hopes that some manufacturers will adopt its Mems Joystick. At just 1.6mm tall, the joystick is slim enough for a device to maintain a svelte profile, and the 40 microamps it consumes during normal operation is proportionately negligible, gospel to company reps. Tablets are just the start -- Knowles built a series of prototypes to demonstrate a variety of probable applications.



We took the joystick for a spin on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Motorola Atrix, micro* game 3DS and a pair of laptops. All of the joystick prototypes connected using Bluetooth or USB, and were designed third edition by the editors of the american stars and stripes banner heritage® dictionary. copyright © 2003 for this CEATEC demonstration -- sadly they won't be acquirable for purchase, though manufacturers could device the controller into similar products.

We also navigated through Google Maps, and scrolled a web page -- both diary felt superior to moving around the touchscreen. The 3DS joystick functioned similarly to the native controller be conspicuous with that device, though Knowles reps noted that it's significantly smaller, and uses less power -- and without compromise, it seems.



Jump past the break for a walkthrough of the devices we saw today, but try not to fall in love -- you won't be able to use the Joystick anytime soon, if manufacturers decide to can-opener them at all.
