ASUS, a leading company in the new digital era that revolutionized personal computing with the Eee PC™, unveiled another world´s first – the Eee Stick. The Asus Eee Stick is a plug and play wireless controller for the PC platform that translates your physical hand motions into corresponding movements onscreen. The wireless controller is ideal for entertainment On-the-go and at home.
The motion sensors built into the Eee Stick offer three modes of operation: 3D motion, pointing and tilt.

The 3D Motion mode which responds to and reproduces movement along all axes as well as wrist rotations, is ideal for playing sports, action and beat ´em up games.

The Pointing mode focuses on aiming, and is hence perfect for First Person Shooters and light gun games.

The Tilt mode, which reproduces movement forward, backward and to the sides, lends itself well to racing and flight games.

The Eee Stick comprises an Activation stick, a Navigation stick and a 2.4GHz RF dongle. Even though vibration-capable, both ergonomic sticks consume very little power, providing up to a lengthy three days (72 hours) of continuous play on two AA batteries per stick. The 2.4GHz RF dongle has a long broadcast range of 10m and does not impose any specific placement and orientation restrictions, ensuring that the Eee Stick controllers remain responsive even with they are not pointing directly at the dongle – thus allowing users to engage in the full breadth of physical movement without any fear of disconnection.

The setup process is very simple:
- Plug the RF dongle into one of the Eee PC™´s USB ports.
- Hold the power buttons on both the Activation and Navigation sticks for five seconds.

With its HID connectivity, the Eee Stick can theoretically be used with all PCs. The Eee Stick will be bundled exclusively with certain models of the Eee PC™ and the Eee Box, along with a collection of games developed or adapted specifically for use with it.
