Latest Samsung Gear VR comes with a standalone controller

26 February 2017
The new Gear VR supports both microUSB and USB Type-C models, so it's futureproof and backwards compatible.

    imparanoic, 26 Feb 2017Based on the controller design, looks like it wasn't design... moreI seen the Google Daydream VR controller. It looks lretty much the same with touchpad and all. I think most controller are design as simple as it could get. Nothing fancy like HTC Vive controller. Vive is undeniably more expensive anyway.

              Meh, never liked the Gear VR when I had the Note 5, but it's nice they added a controller. Makes it a lot easier and comfortable to use.

                      Note this professional article compares this with HTC vive and oculus rift controller in direct comparison, thus, even the media associate this item with mostly with games, rather than multi media controller

                          If the controller looks like console controller, it will be bad for navigate media, apps and internet browsing ( do you even know you can use internet browsing on Gear VR or you just only know gaming on VR?)

                          Lol.

                            Based on the controller design, looks like it wasn't designed for console style gaming, probably won't be very good , just like the predecessor controller which was crap, I had a quick go on one, if felt like a Atari Jaguar controller,
