Strengths:
Works great in games that natively support Hydra. As of writing this, we're limited to Portal 2. The new Portal 2 Hydra levels show what *could* be done when games natively support it.

Controllers are light and comfortable to hold

Great stying, looks very cool
Weaknesses:
Expensive

Per-game learning curve

Limited Base Station Range (approx 3')

Requires a desktop footprint away from magnetic fields. Hard to place basestation due to short USB cable.

Few issues with the pre-made Razer game profiles:

- Can not be customized. Feature is promised in an upcoming driver.

- Can't see Hydra controls once in game.

- Sensitivity settings are global, not per game.
Summary:
I tried this out in as many games as I could before posting this review. The new Portal 2 levels truly shine, but the pre-canned Razer game profiles are hit and miss. Most work OK, though.

The success of this controller will depend on developer support. I'm praying Bethesda embraces Hydra for Elder Scrolls V!
