Controlling a device using gestures in thin air may seem like magic, but while this control scheme might be adequate for navigating menus, the lack of tactile feedback can be problematic in some cases. Hence, Samsung is selling optional Galaxy XR Controllers with its latest XR headset, announced earlier this week.
A lot of people are seemingly aware of the limitations of air gestures, which may be why Samsung's Galaxy XR Controllers sold out on the first day. Thankfully, they are now back in stock.
Once again, Galaxy XR enthusiasts can now buy the Galaxy XR Controllers in the USA. They are available separately for $249, which might seem pricey, but you can also buy them at a 30% discount as part of the Galaxy XR bundle.
If you buy the Galaxy XR Controllers separately, you can choose to pay for them through a one-time payment, a 12-month Samsung Financing plan, or in four biweekly installments worth $62.50 each.
Delivery is free, but depending on your location in the USA, you might have to wait for a few weeks before you receive your Galaxy XR Controllers.
As for the Galaxy XR headset itself, it is still available for $1,799 without the controller set, and early buyers can save up to $1,140 on the Explorer Pack.
The latter includes 1 year of Google AI Pro, YouTube Premium, Adobe Project Pulsar, and Google Play Pass, three months of YouTube TV, 12 months of Calm Premium, NFL Pro Era, NBA League Pass, and ASTEROID for free.
