The new Onza controller will feature analog sticks with a customizable tension setting to suit your FPS needs, an additional shoulder button that can be mapped out to anything you feel necessary, buttons made with Razer Hyperesponseâ„¢, (which apparently will lead to faster click times and a more tactile feel) and the actual seam of the controller will be illuminated throughout use.

Wow this looks sick as fuk!

They look like they've really done the right thing with the directional pad.

I used to use the madcatz products for other systems and I always felt they felt very cheap and poorly made.

Tension settings for FPS needs? Sick.

I was going to say I want one for ps3, but then I looked at the price .
