Google Stadia hade onekligen sina problem vid lanseringen, men de flesta var ändå överens om att handkontrollen var väldigt bra. Den ansluts nämligen inte via Bluetooth eller liknande, utan via wifi för att minska på lagget.
Tydligen tycker Sony det var en bra idé, för via USPTO har de nu registrerat ett patent på en handkontroll som ansluts via både Bluetooth och wifi.
Patentansökan anger att handkontrollen själv väljer det anslutningssätt som ger lägst lagg:
"As recognized herein, with the growing sophistication of computer simulations such as computer games, players have become increasingly demanding of performance, one index of which is latency between gamer input and the resulting action on screen. As also understood herein, particularly in the case of wireless controllers there is little that can be done to address latency issues with a wireless link during play. There are currently no adequate solutions to the foregoing computer-related, technological problem.
A computer simulation controller includes plural controls, at least one Bluetooth transceiver configured for transmitting wireless signals responsive to operation of at least one of the controls, and at least one transceiver configured for transmitting wireless signals responsive to operation of at least one of the controls."
