Controllers with the exact same layout for PS3 and Xbox 360

lol, SRK TT already asked me this at Devastation. Rest assured, I had you guys in mind.

Lol, I just had to ask those obligatory SRK TT style questions.

That said, I've suddenly had an idea on how I could use those modules to give a custom stick some analogue support.

I think a lot of people were skeptical because of the old association of the name 'Mad Catz' with gaming products. The last few years we have had a focus on high quality products catered to specific audiences (See FightSticks). We have a clear focus here; and it's to make a controller that the community accepts.

So far, so good on the feedback. :)

Are the dead zones just as tight as Xbox 360/PS3?

I remember trying 2 3rd party controllers for the PS3 and dead zones for the analogue sticks are bigger; I have to to tilt the analogue stick more in order to receive a directional input.

I have not heard anything about a release date or pricing for the MLG controller other than end of the year. It is the middle of november, has anything been announced and I just missed it? The only thing I could find was something about selling the controllers at a MLG providence but that is all the way across the country.

I really want to get a hold of 2 of these so I can rock them at sc5 tournaments.

Pre-orders for the 360 model are now up and more info on the Madcatz MLG Controller can be found here:

^Great now I await the PS3 model.

I'll only want one of those controllers. Hell, they might make it easier to learn a few cares in MK9.

Supposedly there is a blackfriday deal going on if you preorder the 360 controller through amazon. $82 + free shipping. I haven't preordered so I can't confirm the price drops at checkout but CAG is pretty reliable with this kind of stuff.

^So I heard on that forum you've pre-ordered the controller. I hope you and Rekano would give feed backs.

Off topic: I did a bit of digging on the Razor Onza Controller on Amazon.com. 100+ customer reviews averaging @ 3 out of 5 stars. Most of the complaints are due to the poor lasting quality before everything goes wrong.

So with that said can you guyz plz check if this thing lasts long?

 

[Ceirnian]

Yeah I'll give a heads up on how the quality is. Though finding out how long it will last could take some time.
