Genius introduced the Wizard Stick, a new wireless motion joystick that looks a bit like Nintendo's Wiimote.
Genius a leading manufacturer of consumer electronics and computer peripherals, has released the new Wizard Stick Wireless Motion Joystick. This unique wireless games controller puts the fun back into PC gaming.

The Genius Wizard Stick lets players stand up and really get into the game, instead of just sitting slumped over a PC. You can hold, swing and turn the Wizard Stick naturally, just as if you are playing tennis or golf, driving a car or flying a plane. The Wizard Stick works by linking wirelessly to a tiny receiver which plugs into any free USB 2.0 socket.
The package includes the downloadable AIWI software, which can turn any iPhone, Android phone, or iPod Touch into an additional wireless motion controller. In air mouse mode, the Wizard Stick opens up a new world of PC control, allowing users to move the cursor around the screen in any Windows application.
