Gaming devices can now react faster and track movement, gestures, and voice. See how new sensors are changing how gameplay works.
Gaming devices today need to react faster, sense movement more precisely, and stay power efficient within smaller designs. For many OEMs, this balance between performance, accuracy, and compactness remains a key challenge.
TDK’s new range of TMR sensors tackles this challenge directly. Designed for gaming gear such as keyboards, controllers, mice, webcams, AR/VR systems, driving wheels, and pedals, these sensors deliver precise and fast responses while maintaining low power consumption and compact size. This helps manufacturers create gaming devices with higher responsiveness and better control.
The new suite includes TMR-based sensors along with MEMS motion, microphone, and ultrasonic time-of-flight sensors, covering a wide range of sensing needs. Together, these technologies enhance how gaming devices detect motion, orientation, gestures, and voice commands, enabling more immersive and interactive user experiences.
The offerings include the PositionSense 9-axis solution (IMU + TMR) for absolute orientation detection and navigation. TMR-based angle sensors are used in driving wheels, pedals, mice, controller sticks, trigger buttons, and AR glasses hinges in both use and closed positions. TMR-based linear sensors provide low latency, high precision performance in keyboards. Low power, high SNR MEMS microphones enable voice-activated AI and human–machine interaction, while ultrasonic time-of-flight sensors support accurate wear detection and gesture tracking. Temperature sensors are also available for measuring body or ambient temperature.
TDK already partners with major gaming OEMs globally. With this expansion, it extends its portfolio of custom sensing solutions to include ultra precise TMR sensors, supporting even more gaming gear manufacturers in building the next generation of responsive and efficient products.
Through this expanded range, TDK provides gaming OEMs with the complete sensing foundation needed to build faster, smarter, and more immersive devices for the next generation of gaming.
