OnePlus launches gaming buttons compatible with almost any Android or iPhone
Gaming phones usually have custom cooling systems, as well as extra buttons that are useful for certain genres. Those who can't — or simply don't want to — spend a fortune on them can find convenient accessories on the market to improve the experience on any phone. This is the case with triggers, which are already manufactured by several brands. And now it's OnePlus' turn to launch its own buttons for games, even though it has just announced them. your first cell phone for this niche.
The triggers can be attached to any Android smartphone or iPhone, and offer two buttons that are especially useful in FPS games. With an L and R button, it is easier and faster to fire shots. However, the desired title must allow a high degree of button and interface customization. This is because the product does not communicate via Bluetooth or any other wireless protocol: to ensure maximum shooting speed, the button operates capacitively. A mechanical system presses the screen area after the user presses one of the triggers.
Not very technological, but convenient to the product's concept of improving gaming, the accessory is unfortunately available (for now) exclusively in India. This is the same market that received the Chinese company's gaming phone. The price is around the equivalent of R$100.
As many of you may know, smartphone screens work capacitively. There is no point in trying to touch them with objects such as regular pens, pencils, or anything else. If you don't want to use your fingers, you need a specific material so that the touchscreen reacts correctly.
Therefore, both with OnePlus and in the market in general, game buttons use a small conductive silicone on the tips of the game buttons, which is capable of causing an electrostatic reaction on the screen, simulating a touch with precision. Unfortunately, it is necessary for the game to collaborate, allowing the customization of the interface, moving touch areas to the top edge when the cell phone is in landscape mode.
