Razer and Valve are teaming up to bring gamers an unique controller to be played with the PC version of Portal 2. This new sphere shaped controller will cost you $140 dollars but will also come equipped with ten new custom made maps.
Razer Hydra reminds me more of a Wii remote than your traditional mouse or PC controller. The Razer Hydra is also the first PC motion controller.
