Aliens released Nyx game controller: symmetrical rocker design, equipped with RGB light strip and fingerprint recognition
Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for clue delivery! CTOnews.com At CES last year, Alien introduced a concept called Nyx that could serve as a large gaming server in the home, allowing players to play PC games on almost any screen. At CES 2023 this year, Alien introduced a new handle for the concept that is very different from last year's show.
The front of the controller Alien Nyx shown at CES 2022 looks like a mix of Steam controllers and PlayStation 5 DualSense controllers. Symmetrical rocker design with touchpad in place of traditional arrow keys. There are standard A, B, X, Y buttons, as well as left and right shoulder keys and triggers. The alien head logo in the middle is a fingerprint reader.
CTOnews.com has learned that following Nyx's concept, players can use the controller to log in to specific games or load only their own library of games. There are two back keys on the back of the handle, which can be used to remap all the keys on the front and support customization.
In addition, the handle is equipped with a "self-adjusting variable resistance rocker," which allows players to customize the rocker strength. There are also two wheels at the bottom of the handle for browsing long menus, etc. The RGB light bars and buttons at the bottom can be customized in color, and the lights can be turned off by themselves. The handle is charged with Type-C interface.
