There are a variety of inputs, including A/B buttons for normal games, thumbsticks, trigger buttons, trackpad buttons for tapping.

Base Station 2.0 has a field of view (FOV) wider to 160º x 115º, the distance is increased to 7 meters, supporting a larger gaming area than before The laser sweeps the area 100 times per second. Provides precision beyond millimeters And if not satisfied, you can also buy the 3rd and 4th Base Station to create a large gaming area up to 10×10 meters.
