Razer has announced that its new Hydra Motion Controller will now be arriving this summer. The Razer Hydra is the world’s first gaming-grade motion sensing controller powered by Sixense.
The new Razer Hydra lets you extend your natural body motion directly into the PC games you’re playing. Razer has worked closely together with Valve and Sixense to create the new Razer Hydra, which is supported by over 125 popular PC games straight out of the box. Including: Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and World of Goo.
Enhanced Gaming Experience
The Razer Hydra is designed to provide an enhanced gaming experience by allowing players to interact with their games in a more immersive way. Traditional controllers often limit the range of motion and the level of interaction a player can have with the game environment. However, the Razer Hydra breaks these barriers by offering precise motion tracking and intuitive controls. This means that actions such as aiming, shooting, and navigating through complex game environments become more natural and fluid.
For instance, in Portal 2, players can use the Razer Hydra to intuitively reach out, interact with physics puzzles, shoot portals, and leap across wide chasms in complete three dimensions. This level of interaction is not only more engaging but also adds a new layer of strategy and skill to the gameplay.

Exclusive Content and Pricing
Within the new Valve Portal 2 game, you can use the Razer Hydra controller to intuitively reach out, interact with physics puzzles, shoot portals, and leap across wide chasms in complete three dimensions. The Razer Hydra is bundled exclusively with the game and comes with six additional levels specifically designed for more portal testing fun with motion control. These exclusive levels are tailored to take full advantage of the Hydra’s capabilities, offering unique challenges and puzzles that require precise motion control to solve.
When released, the Razer Hydra will cost around $139.99 or €139.99 and will start shipping in June 2011. This price point makes it an attractive option for gamers looking to enhance their gaming setup without breaking the bank. Additionally, the extensive list of supported games ensures that players will have plenty of content to explore and enjoy with their new controller.
The Razer Hydra’s innovative design and functionality are set to revolutionize the way we interact with PC games. By bridging the gap between physical motion and digital action, it offers a more immersive and engaging gaming experience. Whether you’re solving intricate puzzles in Portal 2 or battling hordes of zombies in Left 4 Dead 2, the Razer Hydra promises to elevate your gameplay to new heights.
