Sony’s new Google TV controller, (never seen before) was glimpsed on ABC Nightline’s Google TV special today. The new controller combines both mouse and keyboard together with your standard TV controls such as programming, channels, and volume.
As you can see by the picture above, the new controller features a full QWERTY keyboard and two D-Pads on either side at the top. This innovative design aims to provide users with a seamless and integrated experience, combining the functionalities of a traditional TV remote with the versatility of a computer keyboard. The inclusion of the D-Pads allows for easy navigation through menus and apps, making it a versatile tool for both casual viewers and tech enthusiasts.
Features and Functionality
The Sony Google TV controller is designed to enhance the user experience by offering a range of features that cater to modern viewing habits. The full QWERTY keyboard allows for easy text input, which is particularly useful for searching content on streaming platforms, browsing the web, or even engaging in social media. The dual D-Pads provide intuitive navigation, enabling users to scroll through menus, select options, and control their viewing experience with precision.
In addition to the keyboard and D-Pads, the controller includes standard TV controls such as power, volume, and channel buttons. This ensures that users can perform all necessary functions without needing multiple remotes. The integration of mouse functionality further enhances the controller’s versatility, allowing users to point and click on-screen elements, similar to using a computer mouse.
