Zeemote JS1 - Mobile Wireless Game Controller

Zeemote JS1 - Mobile Wireless Game Controller. Zeemote, the team that created the "first force feedback joystick for PC gaming" announced the launch of the patented Zeemote JS1, a wireless controller that enables near-console game play on mobile phones. While expanding the mobile entertainment experience for consumers, the Zeemote JS1 controller provides operators with an opportunity to increase their revenue and enables developers to create more sophisticated, engaging games.

Zeemote JS1 controller brings mobile gaming to a fun, fast and interactive level. Small, responsive, ergonomic and wireless, the Zeemote JS1 controller is new, first and unique.

Apparently, some of the major game publishers — including Eidos, Finblade, Fishlabs and SEGA Mobile — have already made popular games such as Lara Croft Tomb Raider, Helistrike 3D and Sonic the Hedgehog "Zeemote Ready." Finblade even created the first 2-player game specifically designed for use with Zeemote JS1 controllers called "Fireworks".

At the recent Mobile Games Forum 2008 in London, Mike Yuen, senior director of the gaming group for Qualcomm, commented, "The Zeemote JS1 is one of the most innovative devices to come along for mobile gaming, as it greatly helps improve game playability on mobile phones versus traditional d-pads. I look forward to the commercial launch of the product later this year."

Measuring a snug 95x35x20mm/3.7x1.4x0.8in and weighing only 47g/1.7oz (including batteries), the Zeemote JS1 controller sits perfectly in the hand and is ergonomically designed for optimised comfort. With a thumbstick and four assignable trigger buttons, the JS1 controller offers real analogue control enabling users to truly engage with mobile games.
