Arcwave's new Thruster and Orbit strokers push interface design into territory most competitors haven't yet explored.

This week's lead Arcwave Thruster + Orbit

Arcwave is doing something most stroker manufacturers aren't: treating the device itself as a design problem worth solving, not just the internals. The Thruster adds a color display directly to the hardware, which is either genuinely useful or a spec sheet flourish depending on how well it's implemented in practice. The Orbit takes a different angle, aiming to replicate the two-handed twist sensation at a lower price point. Both connect to the KooSync app for interactive content syncing, and neither is waterproof, which is worth knowing before you get comfortable.
