If you thought gaming controllers had seen every possible feature, retro handheld specialist Anbernic is here to surprise you. The company has unveiled the Anbernic RG G01, a new gamepad that includes both a built-in screen and a heart rate sensor, blending customization tools with a dash of biological tracking.
The most eye-catching feature is the 2.5-inch HD display embedded in the controller. Anbernic calls it a “smart screen” and says it is designed to make personalizing your controller “intuitive and effortless.” Instead of needing separate software on your PC or phone, you can use this screen to remap buttons, program macros, and adjust settings directly on the pad itself.
Then there’s the heart rate sensor. Anbernic suggests it can help gamers “monitor your well-being during intense sessions.” While the practical need for a pulse check mid-game may raise eyebrows, it certainly fits the controller’s unique theme.

On the technical side, the Anbernic RG G01 offers triple connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz wireless via an included dongle, and wired USB-C. It promises a high 1,000Hz polling rate in both wired and wireless modes for responsive inputs.
The controller supports onboard calibration for its triggers, joysticks, and 6-axis gyroscope. Four programmable back buttons, which support macros, round out the feature set. It is compatible with PC, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS devices.
Exact release date and price of the RG G01 are still unknown, with Anbernic only stating it is “coming soon.”
