Razer to Collaborate with Gaming Community on the Ultimate Arcade Stick

By Ken Brown

At the Tokyo Game Show in Japan, Razer has announced that it will co-develop an ultimate arcade stick for the Microsoft Xbox 360 with the pro-gamer feedback. Since the stick is at the prototype stage, Razer is launching a closed beta program where it will get inputs and feedback from the arcade stick community on the design of this highly customizable controller. The “community” includes more than 200 members of top-seed Street Fighter IV pro-gamers who will each be given a Razer arcade stick to test. Select gamers and modders will be approached shortly to begin beta testing prototype sticks. So far no pricing has been announced.

Since the companys beginnings in 98, Razer has continually taken pro-gamer feedback and validation during the product development phase to ensure that the design for every gaming product shipped is the absolute best for the competitive edge in tournament-grade play. But in an unprecedented move in the gaming hardware space, Razer is now reaching out to the entire arcade stick community to help make this yet-to-be-named product the best arcade stick in the world. Their feedback will be a huge influencing factor in the design of the final product.
