GameStick controller final design unveiled, docking station detailed
PlayJam revealed the sleek-looking final design of the GameStick controller today. The company also grounded out some details on its docking station. The controller, which incorporates the dongle-like GameStick android console and plugs into the TV’s HDMI port, underwent a few changes based on feedback from Kickstarter backers.
In addition to the more curvy design, the HDMI stick now sits at the back of the controller. The stick itself gets an expandable 32GB MicroSD card slot, which PlayJam says was added “in response to overwhelming demand.” With the Kickstarter campaign sitting at over five times the $100,000 goal with just under three days to go, we can believe the demand.
As for the docking station, as you’d expect it charges up the controller for wireless use; Playjam tells us the station connects to the controller via electromagnetic coils. What’s clever is that it also supports peripheral hardware such as mice, keyboards, cameras, and microphones for use with GameStick. It also has a slot for a 64GB memory card, taking the GameStick’s total potential capacity up to 104GB.
