Introducing the much-anticipated Horipad for Steam, a creative wireless controller now available worldwide after its initial release in Japan. The gaming world has seen a surge of new wireless controller options from brands like GameSir, 8BitDo, and Anbernic, but Hori’s latest offering sets itself apart with some distinct features that could capture gamers’ attention.
The Horipad distinguishes itself with its innovative design, incorporating customizable joysticks equipped with capacitive touch sensors. This unique feature allows for enhanced control precision, making gaming a more immersive experience. Additionally, the controller boasts a switchable functionality between analog and digital trigger modes, providing versatility to suit different gaming preferences.
A particularly exciting feature of the Horipad is its built-in gyroscope, which enhances gameplay experience though it’s only accessible while in Steam Mode. The controller offers both wired and wireless operation, although it does not support 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity.
Priced at $59.99, the Horipad is available exclusively in a bold blue color. It’s currently being sold through Amazon, with pre-orders expected to ship from December 16. This new entrant in the gaming controller market is poised to intrigue gamers looking for cutting-edge features and reliable performance. With the holiday season approaching, it might just be the perfect addition to any gamer’s setup.
