I managed to get my hands on one during gamescom by chatting with one of the alienware guys at their booth and it's odd. I was playing with a quick and dirty config but it felt like a weird mix between jagged and floaty when playing borderlands and kinda fine when playing Cities. Maybe because I didn't really have a lot of time to get used to it tho.

Jagged and floaty sounds like sensitivity issues. Although I don't really have any idea what I'm talking about since I've never used one. I sincerely hope this doesn't suck monkey fuck.
It felt like it needed a lot of tweaking [editline]14th September 2015[/editline] config tweaking
Am I the only one who thinks that controller looks ugly?
I really dont like the glossy plastics, always looks greasy
[QUOTE=bloodshotlol;48682304]Am I the only one who thinks that controller looks ugly?[/QUOTE] I don't mind the ugly design as long as it's comfortable to use. My keyboard and mouse are the most basic shit ever from a visual standpoint but they're solid and comfortable so I'm okay with it.
[QUOTE=etoc17;48683107]I really dont like the glossy plastics, always looks greasy[/QUOTE] would have been better if they went for a matte plastic, the glossiness just shows off all the oil and finger prints and just looks bad
its weird how his accent phases in and out

Being able to play things like XCOM, Civ or Cities from your couch seems awesome

[QUOTE=villa;48686193]Wireless mouse/keyboard?[/QUOTE] because a keyboard and mouse on a couch controlling a tv across the room feels nice to use
[QUOTE=theLazyLion;48686220]because a keyboard and mouse on a couch controlling a tv across the room feels nice to use[/QUOTE] Well you could get a little lap tray or something to put them on. I'm sure playing something like Cities with a wireless keyboard/mouse on the couch or portable service would probably be as awkward as using a controller, but then again I'm just guessing and theorizing at this point since I don't actually know how good the controller is. If I'm wrong, than more power to ya.
