Razer has been looking at creating an arcade style fighting stick for the Xbox 360 and today they've finally unveiled it after many months of R&D. The Razer Atrox Arcade Stick is the result of many rounds of testing with enthusiasts to develop a truly high performance stick.
Featuring Sanwa components, there are 10 high quality and very responsive buttons paired up with an eight-way joystick. The stick can be outfitted with both a ball or bat configuration. All the internals are accessible and can be modified by those that wish to. Also, the top panel can be changed with other designs.
It's got a nice 13 foot cord and includes a 2.5mm audio jack should you want to connect a headset to it to chat on Xbox Live. The inside also doubles as storage to hold spare parts and what not.
The Atrox will be available for pre-order on May 21 for a price of $200.

About the Razer Atrox Arcade Stick for Xbox 360®
Arcade gaming has come a long way since its glory days– an era woven into the fabric of gaming history as one that paved the way for innovation, and also one that brought us bittersweet nostalgia. Hours spent at the arcade honed the gamer in you; for every coin you inserted, every combo you executed, every hit you took, and every ultra you unleashed in return – you became a better player. And this is the approach we took when designing the Razer Atrox Arcade Stick.
Years upon years of collective gaming experience from pro-gamers and you, the Razer community, have culminated in the ultimate Arcade Stick for the Xbox 360. Engineered and refined to perfection through countless prototypes and an extensive beta testing phase, the Razer Atrox Arcade Stick is crafted to allow advanced modification – With internals and storage easily accessible at the touch of a button, the joystick, all 10 buttons and the top panel are fully interchangeable for full customizability. And that’s just the beginning.
Featuring genuine Sanwa hardware and an ergonomically authentic arcade layout, the Razer Atrox represents the pinnacle of precision and reliability and is the definitive Arcade Stick for tournament-grade gaming.
Forged from the fires of an arcade gaming legacy, the Razer Atrox is, in the most primeval sense, Bred to Fight.
