Hands-On Video With the Eee Stick
June 3rd, 2008 by Joanna Stern
After Jerry Shen whipped out his Eee Sticks, we just had to get some hands on time with the pair of motion-sensing game controllers that look strikingly similar to a pair of Wii nunchuks (or that ZeeMote we did a hands on with a few months ago). Very few details were given about the Eee Stick, but we did get some time with the two controllers.
Both controllers fit right in the groove of your hand and are responsive to your movements. One control sports a four way D-pad and three additional buttons underneath. The other has an 8-way D-stick and 2 buttons on the front. A USB dongle wirelessly connects the remotes to the Eee PC.
The controllers seem to be intended for gaming, but could also be used as a wireless mouse. Check out the video below to see one of them in action. There is no price or date set on the US availability of the Eee sticks, though it is rumored to retail for $75.
