Black Ops controllers aren't stealthy enough to avoid pre-release detection

Another autumn is fast approaching, which to FPS gamers mean only one thing: time to prepare to heed the next Call of Duty. In a repeat of last year's controller bonanza, Mad Catz is producing a litany of licensed Black Ops peripherals -- for the Wii, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC -- and we've now got the first imagery of their appearance. The new gear hasn't been made official just yet, but what you see here should be a good representation of the final product. Above is the 360 controller, which will share a major new feature with its PS3 brother: precision aiming. It's a simple lowering of the analog sticks' sensitivity when you want to do some more precise work and will be toggled by the use of "combat" buttons on the controller's back. MSRPs are expected to land at just under $50 for the console pads and $100 for a rebadged Cyborg Rat PC mouse and accompanying 2GB USB dog tag. You'll find a video and more pictures after the break.

What's up with the cord on the controller?
Is it for strangling?

I'll use my wii controller + nunchuk for that, thank you very much.
Stealth Assassins like their controllers wireless.

Is black ops gonna be compatible with the ps3 move?

I find the D-pad in the PS3 version horrible, almost like the 360 D-pad, why would I want a complete + for killstreaks and weapon's mode switch? Original D-pad FTW

I bought a modern warfare controller, It was awesome for about 3 months till it broke.
