Razer RZ06-00630100-R3U1 Hydra PC Gaming Motion Sensing Controllers

Pros: I didn't get this off newegg but some where else, but for a couple of months, I been getting used to it. Very nice controller, I don't have any issues with it, IT been working great and I glad I got it.

Razer Doesn't update the drivers and the tool razer gives you is trash. The Motion creator driver and tool from Sixense, is much much better then the drivers and tool razer gives. As you can do more with the Sixense tool like creating your own config for each game.

The Sixense Motion creator does get updated with more games support far often, then the default drivers. Plus like I mention you can make your own config for games.

i love the 5 different FPS mods that the Motion creator tool has and how they design and work, I tend to use the hybrid fps config my self. since I don't gotta Ratchet. Where i haven't gotten used to the mouse look mode since I haven't gotten used to how the ratchet works.

I tried the hydra in wide ranges of different game types, from mmorpgs, to Racing to 3rd person and fps games. Worked very well in all of them, with the big one being mmorpgs. Since you can config it and access all of the short cuts and buttons. I use it a lot in the Secret World as it makes playing the game more relaxing and better, since your not just hitting the hotkeys and trying to strafe around at the same time. With the sixense tool you can even config it to set buttons to repeat when you hold them down. Which is very usefully for TSW because of the resource builders, that you normally have to press again manually to fire them.

My unit do not jitter or have any issues, I forgot to mention that with the Sixense tool you can switch between motion config and Game-pad mode. In game-pad mode the motion control's are disable and it is turned into a basic game-pad.

Its easy to use if you used to the wii controller but it might take some time if your not. It does works in both windows 7 and windows 8, I haven't tried windows XP.

Cons: The major con is that you must use the Sixense Motion creator driver and tool if you wanna get the most out of the hydra, Since Razer do not update the device as Razer abandon it, But atlest Sixense didn't which why they created the motion creator tool and drivers.

I wish the cord which you plug it into your computer was longer. As well having Xinput support even tho you can config it with ease to get around not having that.

Also it has issues with 3D monitors where it doesn't work that well. Rather your using 3D mode or not. So if you have a 3D monitor you may have issues like jittering.

Other Thoughts: I like this controller very much and I glad that I got it.

Pros: Really really fun to play with. Makes games more immersive, and lets you lean way back from your computer as you game. Don't underestimate this, it's way, way more comfortable, especially for long gaming sessions. The hardware is what you'd expect from Razer: extremely high quality. Button clicks are nice, triggers are responsive and smooth. Same goes for the analog sticks. Woven cables and everything.

Cons: The hydra works perfectly for games such as Dota 2 and Diablo 3, but in shooters, it "jitters," sometimes ever so slightly and sometimes quite badly. This makes games where your mouse controls the camera impossible to play. My friend also bought one and doesn't have this problem, so maybe I just got a bad one.
