Hot on the heels of
XCM's
Dominator joystick comes an even more irresistible iteration, making those that took the plunge in January inevitably jealous. The newfangled Rumble Joystick for PlayStation 3 isn't terribly different from the original... save for the fact that this one shakes, rattles and rolls, of course. Described as the world's first PS3 joystick to rumble natively, this bugger also packs four memory buttons for programming all sorts of sick, twisted macros alongside independent Rapid Fire and Turbo buttons. Moving on, we've got the all new XO Adapter for PS3, which adds support for macros, Rapid Fire and Turbo to any vanilla Dual Shock or SIXAXIS controller. There's no mention of pricing for either, but we suspect that'll change in the near future (like, real soon, given that they'll be shipping in under a month).

Shakes... rattles... and rolls... right off the freakin' coffee table.
Keep small dogs and children out of the room.
These macro buttons have always confused me. Isn't it ultimately cheating?
These joysticks are obviously targeting fighting game enthusiasts, but they usually also have a macro button of some sort. It just seems to me like those who actually invest enough time into a fighting game to care about using a joystick over a gamepad are the kind of people who would never need to use a macro button. Is there something I'm not seeing?
Yeah, macros are cheating.
If special moves were not a complicated series of buttons that are hard to pull off, they wouldn't be "special" moves.
I saw someone say once that your controller should be identified on screen so your online competition knowns if you are using a macro capable controller.
They are cheating devices. There is no way around it. People using them should be banned from online play indefinitely.
I seriously need one of these in my life!
Well...I guess I need a Playstation3 in my life first.
Well......I guess I need a life even more first!
Dear O,
Keep reaching for the stars.

Dear FPN,
You're the wind beneath my wings! Thanks buddy!
O
vibration is nice, but how is the joystick, does it click nicely, how does the button feel. I don't really care for the turbo/macro switches....I'm a true Virtua Fighter 5 and ones before that. I don't need no stinkin macro buttons. If you use it...you're cheating yourself.
Dang, and I always thought I was cheating the other guy.
FWD, DWN, DWN/FWD FTW
This might sell, due to stick is so hard to get this day. Mainly cause SFIV, don't forgot KOF XII and Tekken 6 also out soon.
Is pointless buying a stick that don't had sanwa parts, save some % get sanwa stick or build you own.
They used the same circle texture a few too many times in that image.
does this use sanwa buttons and joystick or semeitsu even?
FUCKIN THING SUCKS
I'll hold on another month and get the wireless one!!
wheres the wii one?
BS! Macros aren't cheating! Computer keyboards can have macros & a keyboard is standard equipment on all computers. There's tons of computer games & I'm sure PC gamers use macros as well.
I think Ludicrous Valley is missing some inhabitants!
