$39.99 controller with a dozen swappable bits of plastic made in China for 5 cents,but they want $150? LOL.

In before Call of Duty kids swear by them and their placebo effect.


I'm guessing you've never heard of SCUF controllers. This is catering to that crowd.


What crowd is that?  The crowd that thinks spending $150 on a controller makes them pro?

If they are "pro" they should be playing with a mouse and keyboard anyway.  Hold-and-wait to turn on a stick is like keyboard turning in an FPS.

$150 controller for "pro" "elite" gamers that play competitive FPS games on console that have aim assist by necessity, it's just too much.

It looks fantastic but it's too expensive at the same time. I mean, with $150 you can almost buy a New 3DS or a PSVita. O.o



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Damn with that price microsoft is killing the controller chances to be a success.



                                                                                     

Rip...

Wait for it...

Off.



Really cool but too expensive. I'll pass on it for now. Not like i am some pro gamer. Rather buy a $100 keyboard as it would be used for more than just gaming.



Around the Network

A Scuf with similar features would be more expensive, so the $150 price tag isn't actually that bad. I would probably buy one whenever there was a good sale for one.



Current gaming platforms - Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, New 3DS, PC

Just being honest here.... more than 50$ for a controller... no thanks.

Both Xbox one and PS4 already at the limits of what a controller should cost.

Makeing a 150$ controller.... too much I feel, when the consol itself will soon be just 300$.

Ehhh you dont get the point. This is targeted on people who want controllers with high customization for competitive gameplay. For most people, the normal controllers are suffecient



Yay!!!

Exactly this mostly aimed at people that play a ton of FPS and somewhat at people that play racing games also, but most of those that are very hardcore spend even more money on a wheel.
