"I am very passionate about motion-controlled and VR games, which provide a highly immersive experience. However, these devices are typically stand-alone and cannot be used for other types of games, which is frustrating for me."
---- YTHAN, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT
"Although I don't really have much time to play games nowadays, I still occasionally indulge in racing and fighting games. I had considered purchasing a steering wheel controller but gave up due to its high cost and my busy schedule."

SKETCHES & MODELS
DETACHING MODE
The ability to split is a fundamental feature of JONYTER. The detachable controller and rotatable components provide users with different modes to adapt to various game categories and multiplayer experiences.
SHOOTING MODE
JONYTER offers a more ergonomic and realistic experience for shooting games. The built-in triaxial gyroscope and accelerometer can precisely detect the controller's movement in three-dimensional space, replacing the traditional right stick aiming method.
GAMEPAD MODE
JONYTER retains the traditional gamepad mode to meet players' needs for comfort, performance, and universality.
RACING MODE
By adjusting its rotatable joints, JONYTER can provide a more realistic racing experience using its internal sensors and a steering wheel-like appearance without needing additional accessories.
