Whatever happened to the Alienware controllers???

Hi everyone,
At one point, before I was an Alienware owner, I remember seeing some Alienware branded controllers. They almost looked liked PS2 controllers, and were probably branded as such. Were they any good, and if so, where are they now?

wow thats pretty interesting. i never new that

 

Dang they look cool. I think due to Gpu at the time ran controlers and never change to usb controlers. Hell if they made them I would buy that.

 

Now that Alienware is part of the Games for Windows program they only sell 360 controller i think (which are the best PC game pads btw)...

be nice to have a 360 controller with a alien ware logo in the place of the 360 guide button or some thing... maybe you could suggest it. Games for windows games are alot of fun with a 360 controller pre bound keys is alot of fun.

With the 360 controller becoming a modern standard in western gaming i would really advise getting used to it over the old Playstation duel analog layout which is already dated and obsolete i really think the 360 controller is about as good as game pads are going to get before every thing turns into Wii type motion controls (like the newton for the 360 that will be anounced at E3 this year).

 

I look at the other stuff. Gaming Mouse. I think I stay with the one I have 10 buttons yes I use every button in a game and I dont Touch the keyboard.

 

whoa thats cool what mouse do u use? i have a m518 that has 6+wheel + left and right click... most ive seen beside silly old sidewinder keyboard mice thingss.. eww microsoft games used to be so trashy.

do you strafe with your mouse.. that would be most odd.

Under game surfaces and mice it good to see that ALienware only have Steelseries surfaces.. good to know they only support the best as far as accessory are concerned.. steelseries gaming surfaces make other brands look like gimmicky plastic trays if only steel series mice came with more buttons. .

 

Maybe the Alienware controllers were prone to overheating issues?

 

ahh beat me too it.. I was going to say they melted away during the 200 point testing, so they abandoned the 200 point check...

 

i beg to differ. pretty much every other game controller still has the PS layout, and for good reason. it's been in use for ages. all MS did was switch around arrow keys and joystick... so they couldn't be sued for copying sony's design.
