We at the VR-Zone Enrichment Centre take a quick first look at this futuristic magnetic field powered contraption, and after intensive testing with expandable human test subjects of varying intelligence and dexterity in devious scenarios, present our findings later in a full review... for science!

More Test Subjects Wanted!

Leave a verbose comment below on why you think you will make a good test subject (we will then contact you and you will be videoed and made famous on youtube). And oh, there will be cake.



First Look

The Box




Two gamepad-like controllers tethered to the base station




Base station (on the left a proprietary USB connector to the PC, and on the right for the two controllers). This orb structure generates a magnetic field to map the exact location and orientation of the controllers in the user's hands




FCC approved (so it probably won't cause cancer), made in China and saps USB power (500mA)




Analog Stick and Four Action Buttons on the two controllers. A tad disappointed they were not wireless.




Razer Trademark Green Glow when powered on. SPAAAAACE!
