In view of its modular design ideas, it is necessary to explain the accessories that are included in detail. G70 pre-installed mechanical micro-dynamic button module (character does not emit light), in addition to a piece of traditional conductive silicone button (character glow), in addition to the absolute difference in feel, the latter on the key range is also greater than the former, so theoretically play some of the trigger time has a high demand for the game, the use of mechanical micro button will have many advantages. Because this module is a left high right low shape structure, the button position will not be reversed in the case of blind insertion. Another set of rocker caps is included, one high and one low at will, depending on the personal feel, how comfortable and how to come. The mobile phone stand is installed by slide rail, fixed quite firmly, the mobile phone will not shake no matter how heavy, and can be directly folded when not in use (it may affect the operation of the cross arrow keys and the right stick). Dongle receivers are prepared for 2.4G connection mode and are generally used on PC platforms.

In terms of appearance details, the G70 gives people the overall feeling of more buttons, very much, the front of the classic Xbox layout, the back of the M1 to M4 a total of 4 custom macro keys, user-definable recording of macro programming includes ABXY, L123 and R123, arrow keys, left and right joysticks in any combination. The layout of the keys is almost the same as the previous G35, and Thor chose to integrate the Logo with the Home button, which not only saves space, but also makes the Logo have a good lighting effect. Secondly, there are two "V" type RGB light strips under the function key for embellishment, with the Halo light strip under the right stick, which further enhances the atmosphere of the game. The left and right joysticks use alps joysticks imported from Japan, and the trigger life has reached 2 million times. The cross key is also ALPS, using a near-contact switch, to achieve short stroke and fast trigger technical characteristics, the feel is hard and brittle.

The trigger is another highlight of the G70 physical structure, there are not many handles using Hall triggers on the market, and ordinary linear triggers need to move the physical linkage to push the potentiometer to generate an electrical signal, so that the trigger can work. This crankshaft-like way of working because there are physical devices connected to each other, may affect the feel and accuracy of the trigger due to wear, aging and other reasons. The Hall trigger is only a single coiled spring structure, removing the connecting rod structure throughout the use of electromagnetic induction to complete the signal output, so the feel of the trigger is only related to the internal coil spring. According to the different points of the trigger stroke requirements of different games, the G70 presets 3 trigger strokes on the back to cope with different types of games such as FPS, ARPG, and racing. The LT and RT keys are not bare PC surfaces, because of the high frequency of daily use, the handle surface is designed with a layer of non-slip grain. In addition, compared with the G35 handle, the LT and RT key area of the G70 is nearly half smaller, because the position is reserved for the M3 and M4 macro keys, and the edge contours of these two macro keys are adjusted, so they will not be touched by mistake. Previously, G35 was bundled with M1/M2 and M3/M4, M1/M2 usage was low, and it could not be triggered at the same time as M3/M4, and now the split button finally solved this problem.

The mode gear in the middle of the back is used for Bluetooth/2.4G mode connection, and the handle can be directly recognized in wired mode (whether it is a PC or other mobile device), without the need to use the mode gear. Taking the Bluetooth mode connection Switch as an example, you first need to change the grip/order of the handle on the Switch, set the mode gear to S, press and hold the Bluetooth pairing, and then complete the pairing. Other device connection methods can refer to the manual. The handle can only connect one device at a time, and the next device can only be connected if the currently connected device is disconnected. Some small problems were also found here, such as connecting to a PC, and the recognition speed in 2.4G mode was not fast enough.

Connecting a mobile phone or mobile device is just as simple, taking Android as an example, if you need to play games that do not support direct control of the gamepad (Glory of kings, eat chicken, etc.), you need to use KeyLinker to enable virtual touch mode. There are already multiple adapted games in the App, and if the key position does not meet the personal operation habits, you can change the mapping position of the physical button at any time. iOS conditions are much harsher, 13.4 version or above no longer support virtual touch function, in iOS with the gamepad to play those games that do not support direct control of the controller should pay attention to the system version.

In terms of hand feel performance, Thor G70 has made a certain thickening design of the fuselage, which makes the grip feel a lot fuller. The disc-style cross key has a short key range and clear feedback, and switches equipment in ARPG such as "Eldon's Ring of Law". The silkiness of the Hall trigger is obvious to all, the stroke before bottoming is a linear displacement of uniform force, only the light resistance feedback of the coiled spring is felt, no noise, rebound and hand, stability and consistency are excellent. G70 built-in motor vibration should have made no small adjustment, the original G35 motor in each gear of the vibration is very strong, there is obvious noise, G70 has improved not small, 25% of the gear is relatively moderate, also recommended to use this gear, even if 100% gear is also a little stronger than 50% vibration, resonance noise can be accepted.

Thor's flagship G70 gamepad, strong in the overall development, can be modular custom feel, with APP drive, equipped with the highly acclaimed Hall trigger and ALPS stick, up to 4 custom macro keys to facilitate the game, three-mode configuration is also multi-platform compatible, a single charge endurance can be cool for 10 hours, PC, mobile games, host players almost all eat.
