Razer Release Slew of New Gaming Controllers

While most nearby attendees were completely absorbed by the firm’s Switchblade compact gaming notebook, a few were getting hands-on with the company’s latest controllers.

Collaboration with Sixense has brought forth a motion-sensing controller set that has several key advantages over the familiar Wii controller, most notably its use of magnetic sensors to determine the controller’s exact location and orientation in reference to the display. We were unfortunately told to await further announcements about this product’s future availability and price.

A new version of the classic gamepad has also been introduced for the XBox 360 that fortunately also supports PCs. The Onza Tournament Edition controller has adjustable resistance for both of its analog control sticks and will be released on January 17.

    "Mouse Maker gets closer to its roots."

    What the hell?

    Razer started making high-dpi mice for competitive pro Counter-Strike players. How is making an xbox controller getting back to its roots?

    First of all I don't play console games so I really shouldn't care about console accessories, but I feel like razer should stick to making PC peripherals. For a few years they had some of the best mice and keyboards for gamers, but logitech and microsoft have both caught up in quality and innovation. Seems to me like they are losing their focus.
