Holy Moly
Heard about this controller during all the CES buzz and it looks pretty cool:

Some of the features:

- Wired (compatible with a converter :D)
- Improved D-pad, kind of similar to the PS Pad in that it has 4 directional buttons as opposed to the disc on the standard pad.
- Analog sticks can be manually adjusted to change sensitivity (small ring underneath the thumb stick is used to adjust)
- Has an extra shoulder button on each side which you can assign an additional button to, two switches on the back of the controller to change the mapping.
- Usable as a PC controller
- Comes in two versions, "Razer Tournament Editon $49.99 / Razer Standard Edition $39.99". Standard edition doesn't include the back lighting and adjustable analogs.

Basically this pad > the regular 360 pad, and that makes me so happy that I am doing gravity defying movements as I type this.

I'll probably get one when they come out on the 17th and I'll post up with my thoughts on it.
 
looks pretty cool. after i make the switch from pad to stick they come out with the new xbox controller with adjustable dpad and now this lol. either way looks cool and should improve your inputs on fighting games.
 
My question is what about the dead zone of these analogue sticks?

A lot of 3rd party controllers have analogue sticks with bigger dead zones than the original Xbox 360 controller. Are they gonna make the dead zone just as tight as the original Xbox 360 controller.

I love analogue sticks with tighter dead zones; it feels more responsive as you can make more finer adjustments to movement, steering, aiming whatever.

From the reviews, I have heard that the dead zone is basically the same as the default 360 pad. Razer is also known for making high end PC peripherals, so I expect no lesser quality in this pad.

Again, Ill confirm it myself when I get my hands on one.
 
Btw partisan. I would love a review on this thing. I've been waiting for it since last summmer, it was supposed to come out in October and it was delayed. I can't find any real info on the d-pad all the journalists covering it are fps players obsessed with the sticks. If you'd post something when you get yours I'd love to see it. I'm gonna pick up the standard myself, hopefully.

Ill post up when I get mine (hopefully sooner than later). It comes out on the 17th so there should be a number of reviews around that time!

Ah I know they're taking pre-orders on the 17th but I have no idea how long after that till it comes out.

I love this line from the website:

Uhhhhh. That didn't really answer the question?
 
So now it's out already or should be and now I'll be waiting for opinions.

Also I hope Razor releases a wired version of the PS3 controller in the coming future.
 
Yeah guess I'll order mine in a bit. First or so I guess. I don't like committing money that long. Never know what'll come up.
 
I hope that wire is freakin long, I'd be more interested if it was wireless, but if the wire is long enough, that may make me want to get it.
