With the controller in use, what took me at least 4 attempts using mouse and keyboard and still I failed only took me 3 and ended in success. I played all the way through the game with mouse and keyboard right up to and including the 'rip it down from the sky!' sequence and I had to switch to my XBOX 360 controller because it took way too long to rotate the star destroyer into a position where the game would allow you to drag it down. For a game like The Force Unleashed : Ultimate Shit Edition mouse and keyboard actually are quite obviously an afterthought because the key layout is AWFUL, but as soon you enable the XBOX 360 controller the game seems immediately simpler to control and thus beat. A mouse's speed might confuse the game logic and hitbox tracking, so you can end up doing worse or having to aim less with the mouse to compensate for this. For console focussed FPS games that means that auto aim is always enabled. Controllers are often better in games that are designed and balanced with them in mind.

Thus allowing gamers to totally tune out their parents, spouse, or crying and hungry child.' Looks pretty damn cool.

The $50 wired Onza - that's the controller - will have Razer Hyperesponse technology that'll 'give faster actuation and a crisp, tactile feel.' What's that now? Oh, oh, we pressy the buttons and they make the things happen? Gotcha! Why not just say that? That's what we want from a controller. 'Peripheral manufacturer Razer is dipping its shaved toes in the console market, announcing 'preliminary approval' from Microsoft to produce an Xbox 360 controller and headset.
