"The Android gaming handheld dubbed Pocket Super Knob 5000 has a knob that can be turned to select from one of the four performance profiles in games where the function is supported. One advantage that dedicated gaming handhelds have over a phone-controller setup is the freedom of a full-blown set of physical controls. This handheld is another example of a gaming console with a specific set of control inputs targeted at a niche set of gamers."
"If we go by what they've released last year (the EX5 handheld), the Super Knob 5000 should have the same functionality. Having the freedom to toggle the power and performance balance with the twist of a knob should come in handy for gamers who love to change the settings frequently. However, this should sacrifice the input of directional panning in first"
Pocket Super Knob 5000 is a super-thin Android gaming handheld featuring a 5-inch display and a MediaTek Helio G85 processor. The handheld includes a Hall Effect left thumbstick and a twistable knob on the right that selects among four performance profiles or provides linear input where supported. The knob enables quick toggling of power and performance balance during play, aimed at gamers who change settings frequently. The hardware targets arcade titles and less demanding RPGs rather than high-end 3D games. The design prioritizes unique physical controls for a niche of users, at the potential cost of directional panning input for some game types.
