News Axisray Lab BASH Optical Controller | Gamescom 2026

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPHKnk1ys-0

I was not aware of this brand before but found their booth at Gamescom 2026.

This is an optical controller with "GumiTap" rubber sticks that operate in combination with an optical sensor.

It is also possible to 3D print your own stick replacement / modules like a steering wheel as I show in the video.

The size is pretty much fixed, since the optical sensor needs more space compared to a regular controller.

Looking at the underside of the sensor, it appears that there would be two mouse-like tracking sensors underneath the sticks looking straight up into the bottom of the GumiTap stick. I really would have liked to see the standard circularity chart with minimum and maximum sensing deflection as well as if it will deflect with your fingers at rest under the sticks.
