[zwift-play_pr_05-2023_06] Zwift, the global online fitness platform, has today launched Zwift Play, the first game controllers designed specifically for Zwift. With Zwift Play, riders can now take full control of their game experience from the comfort of their handlebars - it’s time to leave the …

[image] Daren Chandisingh: The proof of the pudding Looking forward to see the documentation in the next BLE protocol release. But to be honest the electronics and software may be easy the hard part is making something as nice and practical as the play controllers.

Not by much. These are $100. And probably mass produced. Play your favorite video games while riding your exercise bike! The Avotro controller is a Windows and Android compatible game controller that attaches to the handlebars of your exercise bike. Get one today and start gaming on yo…

Personally I would be more than happy to purchase the Zwift Play if I was on a road bike and a trainer - but installing those on a smartbike with buttons already available nah… That’s why the “bridge” i mentioned before would be nice - maybe even a new firmware from the smartbike manufactures to na…

:+1:t2: would be good to shift some of the burden to smart bike manufacturers by creating an open API and letting those customers pressure them for the integration

They also ship to CANADA and its also FREE!! Zwift needs to step it up ffs.

[image] Verde: And if they ask for 150 in a few weeks/months, and you didn’t get them previously when they were at 99, it’s on you. Sorry. I actually don’t think you’re wrong overall. I do think it’s unlikely there will be a $150 price point without some form of bundle to make the bundle look…

Another thing that would help a lot for non-steering users is inverting the assumption about the rider’s desire to draft.
