Motion-Sensing Controller for Xbox 360

Joining the motion-sensing party is Xbox 360, courtesy of Talismoon. The company has announced its Tiltboard controller for the console, touting a friendlier design than that of PS3’s Sixaxis controller. The practical applications of the controller are unknown since no Xbox 360 games support motion-sensing, and it requires users to solder wires into their controller, thus voiding their guarantee. Let the announcement itself do the talking:

The Tiltboard is an intelligent piece of kit and comes pre-loaded with TiltTune ™ technology which is the most user friendly firmware available for such a device. Gamers have the option to adjust the tilt sensitivity, adjust the 0 degree in order to hold the controller at the most comfortable angle, invert the Y axis and turn the tilt function on and off. Everything required to enjoy the latest sensation in console gaming on Xbox 360™ comes in a convenient package and requires only seven wires to solder. Its impressive specifications include the following:-Custom Fit Design
-2 multifunction buttons within easy reach
-Requires soldering 7 wires
-”Best practice” install method eliminates control loss as controller battery life weakens
-Persistent memory keeps your TiltTune settings even if there is no power to your controller.
-The new tiltBoard comes preloaded with tiltTune technology TM, the most user friendly firmware available, including:
1) Adjust tilt sensitivity
2) Adjust the 0 degree so that you can hold the controller at whatever angle is natural for you
3) Invert the Y axis (independently for either the stick or the tilt)
4) Turn the tilt on and off (switch between stick and tilt)

The Tiltboard will be released next week and will retail for $40.
