"The RG G01 won't be the first controller with a built-in screen. Companies like Turtle Beach already offer them. While a display adds to the cost, it lets gamers adjust settings, program macros that automatically trigger a series of button presses, and remap controls, without having to leave a game and connect to a mobile or desktop app. The RG G01 has four customizable buttons on the back that can be reconfigured using the display."
"As for the heart rate sensor that appears to be integrated into the RG G01's grips? Its functionality is questionable. Nintendo announced a heart rate-tracking accessory for the Wii at E3 2009 called the Vitality Sensor that could have potentially incorporated a player's pulse into games, but it was cancelled. Anbernic's RG G01 will display your heart rate on the controller's screen and it has a pulse alarm, but there's no details on what exactly it will warn you about."
Anbernic has unveiled the RG G01, a second wireless controller with a curved color display, four reconfigurable rear buttons, and a built-in heart rate sensor. The display enables on-controller setting adjustments, macro programming, and control remapping without requiring a connected app. The controller offers Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and USB-C tethering, and is compatible with Steam, Linux, Windows, Android, iOS, and Switch systems. Hardware includes a six-axis gyroscope, electro-inductive capacitive joysticks, Hall-effect-like dual-mode triggers with travel-limiting switches, and a pulse alarm. Pricing remains unrevealed, but upgrades suggest a higher cost than the $18 RG P01.
