Not happy with the Wii-mote? Motus Corporation is working on a Wii-motesque controller for consoles and PCs. Dubbed the "Darwin," the controller has better and more realistic control says the manufacturer thanks to greater gyroscope and accelerometer complexity. The company has built super realistic controllers for golfers to practice their swing, and this background gives an edge says Motus. Apparently, the Darwin aligns itself with magnetic north and knows where it is in space. The Darwin will be out later this year and retailing in the US $79 ~ $99 ballpark.

It Seems expensive for a controller and I highly doubt that the controller is worth that. When your playing the wii most of the time its with family or friends so theres really not much competition its just fun. Theres no need to go buy an edge.

What I find interesting is that, the company states that they'll be making this controller for Consoles and PC's. I wonder how that would work out.

Im guessing with a sensor like USB. Like how the Wii has that sensor bar that reads where the controller is aiming. I'm guessing this will come with a USB one which will allow it to connect to the 360 etc. Just a guess.

Possibly for PC it would help in presentations like a laser pointer that can click on the screen.
