Axisray Lab's BASH Replaces The Analog Stick With A Squeezable Pad
Axisray Lab showed BASH at Tokyo Game Show 2026, a wired USB gamepad with no analog stick. A soft mechanism called GumiTap sits where the stick would be, pressed in or pushed up, down, left, and right. Optical sensors inside read markers on the back of the pad and capture directional input, pressing, and rotation. It is planned for release within 2026 at around 300 to 350 dollars.
