"Gaming has come a long way from the nostalgic gamepads to the current wireless controllers with haptic feedback that mimic the vibration of game input elements. Right from the texture of the road in racing games, to the recoil of weapons in FPS titles, the idea is to bring that extra element of realism to the whole experience. Wearable headsets have taken the quotient of realism to the next level, but they are bulky, can cause eye strain, and are currently not very practical for everyday gaming."
"That wish has come true with this unique gaming controller dubbed the Echo Aviation Controller, which is tailored for precision flight control input. Best of all, it has a small form factor and is portable enough to carry in your backpack. Slated for mid-December release for a price of $150, the gamepad guarantees hours of immersive gameplay during the holiday season."
"It comes with small joysticks, a dedicated trim wheel to actuate the plane's altitude, and buttons on one side for flight-specific controls to actuate the in-game throttle levers. On the other side is positioned a thumbstick, four action buttons, and a conical joystick for panning the sim's camera control."
