While this column typically looks at recently launched peripherals, today is something different. Today is the Razer Atrox: a new arcade stick coming from the widely respected accessory manufacturer this summer. Designed to be everything the hardcore beat-‘em-up fan could wish for, the Razer Atrox is a sturdy build featuring a fully customisable faceplate and input devices.

"It’s weird, really. A lot of fighting games seem to be swarming on PlayStation 4, but here’s Razer, sticking with the Xbox One, and making a stick that caters to dedicated players of Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat XL and other fighting games that may be available for the system. Some folks might be scratching their head over this, but there’s probably a reason for this."

more curious as to who buys these things to even make them consider manufacturing them.
Lots of people looking to play arcade and fighting games, and these have legit components.

You can play on PC, just needs decent driver updates. The Mat Catz looks like a better deal.
I am sure there will be other fighting games on Xbone. Pretty sure the Blazblue developer expressed interest on bringing the series to Microsoft.
Blazblue has always been on Xbox. The only one that wasn't was Chrono Phantasma beacause 360 discs only had 9gb storage. Chrono Phantasma Extend is inbound this year on Xbox One and I already have it preordered.
Guilty Gear Xrd however isn't coming to Xbox anytime soon. ;(
Not a fan of fighting games and really wont be paying this price for a fancy gamepad.
Fight stick extreme! The Razer Atrok bring back those arcade streetfighter memories. A great piece of hardware however for such a limited market does it have a place in your home?
