I actually trust Razer build quality. I own a Blackwidow Ultimate, Mamba, Naga, and Onza Tournament and I love them, though I did have an issue with my Naga. I sent it to them and got it fixed pretty quickly, though.

TGS: Razer shows off Xbox 360 Arcade Stick prototype
Razer is working to get their upcoming Xbox 360 Arcade Stick absolutely perfect. The units they have on display at Tokyo Game Show this year are from their beta program, and are the 13th iteration of the sticks. 200 fighters and modders have given their input and feedback in this program, helping Razer add features like the changeable top panel and storage for cables or components to the unit. I gave one a spin with a few rounds of Virtua Fighter 5. This thing is a beast, sporting a wide base, some serious weight and a nice, large gripping pad on its bottom. This stick shows some serious build quality. On the inside, I saw that all the components are accessible and easily switchable. There's also lots of room for storage of extra parts and the tools to change them with. In use, the joystick did not miss a single beat, and the Sanwa buttons felt great when I pulled off my canned combos. I liked slapping the large start button on the stick's right edge to advance through screens and taunts. Even at its current unfinished state, I would love to take one of these units home. Razer is rounding the corner, headed toward a finished product. We'll have to wait until that happens for details on availability and pricing. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)And thank you for using "Arcade Stick" and not "Fightstick". Sure, I don't actually care but man, "Fightstick" just sounds awful. Bleh, that button layout is still useless to me. XYBA in a single arc, come on someone do it already. There is no game that I know of where that regular 8-button arc is actually the most useful and comfortable layout. @ all the people thinking the price is confirmed to be 389.99$ The guy just named it that for fun, no price has been released sure it will be overpriced and sure it will break fast but its most likely not that expensive. If they're shitty Onza Tournament is any indication of the "quality" work they do on console peripherals then I'd say STAY AWAY LIKE THIS IS AIDS I'm on my 2nd one, and to fix the issue of their triggers not working they've used BLACK TAPE on the ends of it, I'm not joking you depress the trigger all the way and someone somewhere has put BLACK ELECTRICAL TAPE on the side that is facing the back of the controller. Brilliant! If you buy this expect to be returning it. I've been looking at arcade sticks recently, and if it's decently priced (Yeah, Razer, I know) I'll probably pick this up.

11:30 PM on 05.22.2013 Sunset Riders: How the west was fashionableWhen we think of the American west, we think of outlaws and lawmen, settlers trying to eke out a new life in an inhospitable place and, most of all, stylish dress composed of pastels and fringe. It is in that spirit that Jordan and I approached Sunset Riders for the Super Nintendo, knowing that while it was important to be good, that should be secondary to looking good.
