The developers of this controller have combined the best features of PC and console peripherals to create the ultimate controller.
With this controller, you can experience a whole new gaming feel. The Russian developers Alex and Eugene Nesmeev present to the world the R-Handle. This prototype shows you entirely new possibilities for controlling your video games. According to the developers, this controller uses the whole hand and not just a few fingers. How this looks when playing has now been demonstrated in connection with Doom, Counter-Strike, and other games.
Analog sticks are too imprecise
On the developers’ blog of the R-Handle, it is stated that the analog thumb sticks of common controllers are too imprecise, which forces game developers to create simpler and less exciting console games. “When you also consider the growing enthusiasm for virtual reality, the standard gamepad is practically impractical anyway.”
In the comments on YouTube, the developers say that there will soon be a second prototype. This one is supposed to be even more precise than the current gamepad. So far, the R-Handle has 90% of the accuracy that a computer mouse offers, says Alex Nesmeev in the comments on YouTube.
Especially in multiplayer shooters, a difference can be seen between controller and mouse. However, in games like Counter-Strike, the controller is said to perform well. In another game test, Alex Nesmeev, shows how he moves with the R-Handle in Counter-Strike over maps like Dust or Italy.
The controller is being developed by Alex and Eugene Nesmeev not only for games. Its use in VR games or drones is quite possible. Other unmanned vehicles could also be controlled with the R-Handle. In the official press release of the R-Handle, you can find more information and game tests.
Would you give the controller a chance or is it not to your taste?
