ROCCAT Power-Grid now available

ROCCAT has announced the availability of Power-Grid app to the public for free download as the software reaches its open beta phase. This software consists of a smartphone app, which runs on iOS and Android devices, and accompanying host software, which runs on Windows. This technology is used to turn the smartphone into a sophisticated, fully customizable remote control for the PC, extending the environment of the gamer onto their smartphone.
 
The new Power-Grid website  launched simultaneously  provides a database for those searching for additional Grids and Controls. The database will feature ROCCAT as well as community content, the latter being facilitated by the launcher software’s easy-to-use Grid and Control import/export process.
 
René Korte, CEO & Founder, ROCCAT, commented, Power-Grid opens up a whole new world of opportunities for PC gamers. Finally, you are able to connect your smartphone to your gaming environment  it just feels natural and makes perfect sense. Forget about inflexible solutions like keyboards with integrated displays; create your own command centre and benefit from this innovative ROCCAT technology.”
 
Power-Grid uses Wi-Fi to connect the smartphone to the PC. This means that commands from the phone are executed on the PC in real time. Information from games and software can be displayed on the smartphone, too, meaning it can also be used as an effective second screen. In order to empower the full potential, ROCCAT provides a SDK for Power-Grid.
