The US online pre-order price is US$199 (R1,868.22).<\/p>\n<p>The gadget will be available from June 2013 worldwide, but Razer SA could not confirm exactly when we&#8217;ll see it in local retail channels, slthough it is expected to meet the international availability window.<\/p>\n<p>The Atrox is a retro-styled arcade controller that is tournament-ready and comes with durable buttons (ten of them) and the traditional eight-way directional controller for movement.<\/p>\n<p>The controller works for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. No mention is made of support on Nintendo consoles.<\/p>\n<p>Razer says its suited for modding, thanks to easily accessible innards protected by a panel with several Phillips screws, and users will be able to buy or add on custom vinyls and even extra controls to give them a competitive edge.<\/p>\n<p>The Atrox has a hidden storage compartment for cables and personal belongings and includes a screwdriver for making adjustments to the directional controller and side button sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
