German manufacturer CapLab is working on a very particular wearable for gamers. The Bcon is meant to be tied to your foot (though it can also work when equipped elsewhere via spatial orientation) so that with a slight movement you may activate certain in-game actions in PC games.

　　The device connects via Bluetooth technology and has a latency comparable to that of a conventional Bluetooth keyboard. It can be used on both PC and Mac as is, though the configuration software which lets users customize their own bindings (as well as the desired sensitivity) is only available on Windows 10.

　　Even more than one such device can be used at once, as long as you have a matching number of parallel Bluetooth connections on your PC. Below you can find the wearable's specifications, feature set, a few GIFs and a pre-launch trailer to learn more.

　　The Bcon is set to debut later this year. If you sign up for the official newsletter here, you'll get a discount code.

THE THIRD HAND IN GAMING TO SUPPLEMENT YOUR GAMING GEAR

　　HID is the abbreviation of Human Interface Device and denotes computer devices such as mice, joysticks and keyboards. The Bcon utilizes the Bluetooth HID profile which has been designed with low latency and low power requirements in mind. As such the Bcon is ready for long-tailed competitive game sessions while it does not interfere with your battle-hardened gaming gear.

COME WHAT MAY YOU STAND YOUR GROUND

　　The Bcon is affixed to the body of the wearer in two easy steps: Fasten its socket to your body, e.g. to your foot, and place the Bcon onto the socket.
