The CLAW controller!!!
WOW! Looks cool!!
http://www.teamxbox.com/news.php?id=3114
This allows gamers to play First Person Shooter (FPS) games, such as Halo, using the familiar mouse and ClawTM set-up (please see attached image). The mouse performs a standard “mouse look” function as well as primary and secondary fire modes. The Claw™ controls player movement and weapon configuration. All standard Xbox controller buttons are handled by the mouse and ClawTM setup.
wow, that is pretty cool, but I won't be buying one, I like my current xbox controller
I already posted this!

looks cool
Yeah, I was looking at this earlier. Definitely looks worthwhile. As much as I like First Person Shooters on Consoles and PC's, I just suck at them on Consoles because they aren't setup like on PC's. The only drawback I see is that there's no analog movement. Otherwise, sweet!
it looks cool, but with the hand controller thingy, how are u supposed to hit the buttons? like, how can u remember where each button is without looking? id probly be hitting the wrong ones if i used that
Mmmmm... yummy yummy Carpal Tunnel!
Hmm.... That will take some getting used to. But If they had a game that supported it, who would get it? Just curious.
If you think you are psychic, maybe you are!
i just wish they would make a mouse and a keyboard. it would probly make halo much easier to play and stuff.
Ichiro - all games support it. It's just the Xbox controller mapped onto the left hand keypad and a mouse. So, technically, you could play Oddworld or Amped with it. But, it is meant for First Person Shooters, since them and mice were basically made for each other. Also, you can use any mouse. You only buy the left hand keypad and the port, however it looks. I think the keypad and your standard mouse plug right into the controller slot on the console, I'm not sure exactly.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who'd buy it. I used to defend console controllers being used in First Person Shooters, saying it didn't affect performance at all. But I'd have to disagree now. Compared to how I play FPS's on PC, I suck on consoles. Provided I had the money, and a First Person Shooter on Xbox that I play a lot, then I'd pick up the Claw easily.

Hey snoop, that is a mouse and keyboard for the Xbox.

the "Claw" looked like a mouse and a keyboard to me...
the claw isnt really a keyboard. its just a weird controller
Agreed. It does look pretty cool, but too complicated for me. Rather stick with normal xbox controllers.Originally posted by XBox Owner

I would give it a shot. I'm one of those that would jump on a keyboard and mouse for the Xbox in a microsecond. I don't really care for the 'claw' look of the keyboard side. Just make a friggen 16 key keypad. How hard is that?

are mecs adminsters who monitor chat?
If you can configure every button (so I can have mouse 2 as walk) I am so there. This thing looks great provided its responsive.

Wow, that looks pretty stupid. It kinda look like it would be the controls like from an arcade thing ya know. Like with the joy sticks and the quarter size buttons. I think its pretty stupid
Well anyways...if it is a keyboard/mouse do ya'll think it will give an unfair (or fair) advantage over handheld controller users in FPS's"
