Get ready for the scariest looking game controller to hit the market: The Warrior USB Joypad is modeled to look like a Japanese Warrior, but with a skull face, green glowing eyes and a removable mask. It seems more demonic than historic.
Fully compatible with USB, PlayStation PS3 and PS2, the Warrior USB has force-feedback enhancements.
Implications - At a first glance you may not even realize that the Warrior USB Joypad is even a game controller! Instead of having numbers, the buttons are printed with Japanese writing. You can make out the warrior's face, with his teeth in a snarl. He also has a mustache and a helmet with antlers on the top.
