What's this? Some kind of videogame controller from ION Audio?
Received from an anonymous source, we've been able to find no information on this ION "Total Control" (which appears to be a game controller/keyboard/mouse hybrid controller-thingie) from the folks responsible for the premium Rock Band "Drum Rocker" controller. Looking at the ION website, it doesn't look at ION has create game controllers outside of the drums before.
Could ION be poised to make an announcement at E3? We've reached out to ION for comment, but in the meantime, someone help us figure out what this thing is. Because we've never seen anything like it, and quite frankly, we're a bit scared... it has blood all over it!

Otherwise, that looks pretty horrid and uncomfortable.
It could use some triggers. Maybe a few levers to be safe.
Especially if their first outing is that thing.
It's super effective!
....but it failed.
Napalm must be used to dispose of this.
So this is a pretty interesting development.
I always knew you were secretly a lolcat, Nick Chester!
Those shoulder buttons (/wheels?) look, much like the rest of this controller, extremely uncomfortable. Which sucks because this pad has a lot of good tools, just arranged horribly.
