Anbernic's RG GO1 controller includes heartbeat sensors and built-in display

Kotaku reports Anbernic has announced the RG GO1, a wireless controller for PC, mobile phones and the Nintendo Switch that features a central 2.5-inch IPS LCD and heartbeat sensors in the grips.

The company says the screen can be used for tasks such as reprogramming buttons and turning on rapid fire settings, and that the heartbeat sensors will let you "monitor your well-being during intense sessions." Other listed features include back buttons, six-axis gyro control, rumble motors, dual-mode triggers, Bluetooth support and Purple Kirin’s electro-inductive capacitive joysticks, which the company claims will provide "silky-smooth movement." The controller’s face is clear plastic, revealing some of its innards.

There is no price or specific release date yet; Anbernic says the RG GO1 is "coming soon." It will likely be more expensive than the company’s other controller, the $18 RG P01.
