Hey, if they can make it work without a huge pricetag (EyeOne, your point is well taken), I'd at least take a look. Good points though guys. Didn't think about the LCD setup...huge coster.

Well this looks very nive and I'm sure that the gaming experience with that thing would be simply AMAZING !

I'm waiting on the price, but I can already see that nice $400 coming ...

Ok, a complicated joystick/throttle/touchscreen controller. Neat, I'll give you that.

I am however very dissatisfied with this whole Artemis thing being nothing but a product tie in. I wanted something related to the eventual release of the game, not something I'd never buy.

But it has electrolites! Right? Everybody knows PC's like electrolites.

Rather get a new bunch of unannounced mechs tbh, after 6 days waiting for something "interesting"

I used to love Razer products, but they simply are not built to last. I've owned five of their PC gaming peripherals and none were very competitively priced, and all lasted less than one year. I love the concept of this controller but I don't feel that Razer can put out a reliable product. I wish they had tried to pair with Madcatz. I ran my Madcatz XL for over 10 years. Quality hardware, good ergonomics, and built to last.

Bah. Even if it went on sale the day of the public beta I wouldn't buy it. The second screen would be pretty useful, but I'd rather MW:O just had dual monitor support.

Mouse + Keyboard is the only way I'm interested in playing.

Cool idea, but...Razer? Every product of theirs I've ever owned has had problems within 6 months.

That would be much, much nicer if it wasn't just a concept of something not everyone would use.

Yeah, I may pick this up two or three years down the road, assuming the initial price drops and I have a desktop. It would just push my current computer (a laptop) back away from me. It's... I mean, it's cool. I almost bugged my parents to buy Steel Battalion for me back in the day due to it's crazy controller. Granted, the price of said controller also stopped me from bugging them. This is neat and all, and I think a good MW game should have it, but the "big reveal" should have been something... more.

So, neat product, probably WAY overpriced, meaning I may never get my hands on it.
