Roccat's Power-Grid in action
Roccat's Power-Grid is a free app that turns your iPhone into a touchscreen LCD display for your PC.
Roccat's Power-Grid is a free app that turns your iPhone into a touchscreen LCD display for your PC.
The idea, the peripheral makers say, is to leverage your phone to create a customizable display that can be used to monitor your PC hardware in real time or create hot keys for the games you play.
We had a chance to meet up with the peripheral maker at Gamescom to get our first look at how the software works in person, including a glimpse of the Counter-Strike GO hotkey set-up.
The Power-Grid hits the App Store later this year.
