Game controllers continue to get better with the developing technology. For example, Sony recently introduced its new controller DualSense Edge for PlayStation 5 with features that will increase the gaming experience. Now, such a move has come from the US technology giant Dell.
Dell showed off a brand new game controller at the CES 2023 (Consumer Electronics Show), one of the world’s biggest technology events. This device, called Concept Nyx, is expected to be a reference to the gamepads of the future with its features.
Here is the game controller of the future Nyx
First of all, let’s state that the device introduced by Dell is a concept, and the company has no intention of selling this controller. The controller shown today is the second version of the Nyx, which has the same name and was introduced last year. Introduced in 2022, the gamepad allowed you to easily play games anywhere in the house by connecting to a server. In addition, you can play games from all the screens in your home with a single controller; It was stated that you can even play two games at the same time.
The Nyx shown today also adds some innovations to its previous version, giving us an idea of what the game controllers of the future will be like. To take advantage of what the concept device has to offer, you need a large piece of hardware that you see above, connected to the home network. This server provides comfortable use of Nyx, which is inspired by many different controllers from Xbox to PlayStation.
The design of the new concept game controller is quite different from the previous version. We can say that the company is inspired by the Xbox Series X / S controllers. The features of the new Nyx are also quite remarkable. For example, the controller has a fingerprint sensor that allows you to quickly open the last game you played. This can be very useful if the device is used by more than one person. Customizations are not limited to this. It is possible to adjust the keys according to you; so that each user can adjust the haptic feedback level according to their preference.
In addition, there is a round touch panel on the left side of the remote, where the arrow keys are. This allows the device to be used as a mouse at the same time, allowing different functions to be performed in games. In addition, the two keys above the trigger keys also have a touch feature. Here you can perform different functions in the games by swiping your fingers. Let’s add that there are two wheels on the back of the analog keys that act as mouse wheels. Easily accessible with your thumb, these wheels make things like navigating the menu or zooming on the map super easy.
As we said before, the Nyx concept game controller will not be released. However, the features it offers reveal that game controllers will be very different from the current one in the coming years.
