Description

Introducing the Razer Hydra, the world’s first PC gaming-grade motion sensing controllers that let you extend your natural body motion directly into the game. A breathtaking new way to play when you can intuitively reach out and interact with the virtual world in complete three dimensions, as you would in real life.

Faster with ultra-low latency and more precise with one-to-one tracking to the exact millimeter and degree makes this the best motion sensing for absolute game immersion.

Unrivalled Precision Technology
Using magnetic motion sensing, the best available technology of its kind, the Razer Hydra’s compact base station can compute the exact location and orientation of controllers in your hands, down to a millimeter and degree. Combined with Razer-grade ultra-low latency, you get a fluid and unhindered experience that’s accurate and precise, like a mirror reflection of you in the game world.

Total Game Immersion
Play your PC games in a new way with motion sensing controllers that take you deeper into the game world by letting you interact and move in complete three dimensions. Attacking with your weapon of choice at any precise angle or throwing a grenade with the right force becomes as easy and intuitive as picking up your mobile to make a call.

Extensive PC Games Library Compatibility
Apart from Portal 2, the Razer Hydra is optimized for over 125 popular PC games right out of the box. No more waiting for scarce motion-compatible games. And with the future possibility for more downloadable game configurations and the ability to self-configure motion mapping to your specifications, the Razer Hydra is a versatile monster that plays virtually every game.

Review by Nicodemus on 13th October, 2011
5 stars "The first good motion control"

I was a bit worried about buying this as motion controls tend to have a bad reputation. But I wanted to get Portal 2 and Razer makes good products so I gave it a shot. It took a while to get used to but in the end it tends to make most games more fun. At the moment there is no easy way to customize the control layout but Razer is going to add a way soon and it is quite easy to find additional profiles online. The only real problem that I find the Razer Hydra has is that it is so sensitive that it picks up even the slightest tremors in my hands. Oh well. It's worth it all.
