I guess joystick support for MWO has been solidly confirmed.
No idea how much this baby will cost, but it's at the top of my xmas list. As a wise man once said, "Shut up and take my money!".




THE TRADITIONAL KEYBOARD AND MOUSE COMBINATION IS COMMONLY USED, BUT THE TRUE MECHWARRIOR EXPERIENCE LIES IN USING A FLIGHTSTICK TO PILOT THE HULKING BEHEMOTHS. AS THE WORLD’S LEADER IN HIGH END GAMING PERIPHERALS, AND AS DIE-HARD FANS OF MECHWARRIOR TITLES FROM DAYS OF YORE, WE KNEW THAT THIS WAS THE PERFECT CHANCE TO COLLABORATE WITH PIRANHA GAMES TO CREATE THE PERFECT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR MECHWARRIOR ONLINE.

THE RAZER ARTEMIS CONCEPT CONTROLLER IS A CONSOLE THAT FEATURES A CUSTOM, FUTURISTIC DESIGN CRAFTED EXCLUSIVELY FOR MECHWARRIOR ONLINE, INSPIRED BY THE DEVASTATING BATTLEMECHS THAT DOMINATE THE INNER SPHERE. THIS IS A CONCEPT DESIGN WE CRAFTED FROM THE GROUND UP, WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PUTTING YOU DIRECTLY IN THE COCKPIT OF YOUR FAVORED HULKING BEHEMOTH.

THE RAZER ARTEMIS CONCEPT CONTROLLER INCLUDES A MULTITUDE OF FULLY PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLS THAT MAKE PILOTING YOUR MECH AND CRUSHING YOUR OPPONENTS AS INTUITIVE AND FLEXIBLE AS POSSIBLE.

PILOT YOUR MECH AND RAIN DEVASTATION ON YOUR ENEMIES WITH THE PRECISE CONTROLS OF THE ERGONOMIC, ADJUSTABLE MECHSTICK, AND THE INTEGRATED MECHANICAL KEYPAD. INTER-DEVICE COMMUNICATION ALLOWS YOU TO EXPAND THE CONTROLS BETWEEN THE MECHSTICK AND THE INTEGRATED KEYPAD, OR OTHER RAZER PERIPHERALS.

FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN HOLD ON A MODIFIER KEY ON THE KEYPAD TO TEMPORARILY CHANGE THE FUNCTION OF THE TRIGGER ON THE MECHSTICK. THIS GIVES YOU ENDLESS CUSTOMIZABILITY OF YOUR CONTROLS.

WITH FORCE FEEDBACK BUILT INTO THE STICK, THE GAME COMES TO LIFE AS YOU FEEL THE RUMBLE OF AN AWESOME ON THE MOVE, AND THE RECOIL OF FIREPOWER BUCKING IN YOUR HAND. AN INTEGRATED SCREEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CONSOLE DISPLAYS CRITICAL DATA, SUCH AS MINIMAP/RADAR AND WEAPON INFORMATION, GIVING YOU THE MOST COMPLETE MECHWARRIOR ONLINE EXPERIENCE, EVER.

You have Got to be Shitting me...... I think I just dribbled a little goo in my pants.... I Want It.. Whats it cost? Don't care.... Gimme....

No idea on the price, but I'd expect it to be high. The saitek flight-sticks I used to use were 160 or so. I bet this is over two somewhere. I think you might be able to get the stick separately from the other two pieces... but why would you??

I would bet it is over 300. Looks like you are buying a tablet with balls on it.

I say around $250 to $300. it is made by Razor the top of the line stcks are around $100 to $150 per component. But lie Pyro said if its made out of metal..give me

Jesus holy smoking crackpot.
I been readin up on what little info I can find about it, and all I can say is that I want that.

Better start saving, so I can afford it, and since its being developed specifically for MWO, I think it could very well revolutionize the the way we play MW games.
