Mattel’s Power Glove will celebrate its 33th anniversary this year, and gamers are still finding new ways to use the controller accessory. One of them is YouTube channel ‘Will it Work?’ who attempts to connect it to the PlayStation 5, and although he was successful, there were just too many issues for extended gaming sessions.
What kind of modifications or hardware is needed to connect the Power Glove to a PS5? The most important peripheral is the Titan One NES to USB adapter, which is both a savior as well as its bane. You see the console has been programmed by Sony to authenticate connected controllers every 8-minutes, which means the Power Glove has to be reconnected ever so often. However, they did use it to play Astro’s Playroom and Returnal. This gesture-controlled R/C car would be perfect if paired with the Power Glove.
