The ArcX Sports Ring Joystick Keeps Users Focused

— January 14, 2021 — Tech
Working out and being interrupted by an incoming call or fumbling to make changes on a smartphone can quickly break the focus of the athlete, so the ArcX sports ring joystick has been created to help offer users an alternative way to enhance their productivity.

The wearable works by being worn on the index finger and will go to work allowing users to toggle a number of different features according to their needs. This includes toggling a stopwatch to track a workout, changing the song on a playlist, answering a call and much more without ever having to take your concentration off of the task at hand.

The ArcX sports ring joystick is compatible for use with both Android and iOS devices, and is prime for customization upon setup.
