Overview of the appearance must start with the main- base controller. On the base in the form of a cylinder, you can see a special ball. It has a glossy finish. The size of the ball is very small - does not exceed the average child's fist. Through it, the coil shines noticeably. It is a cross shaped. The gaps that are in the coil are also highlighted in green. They are triangular in shape. And the color slowly grows first, and then disappears.
The Razer Hydra trigger has an analog type.It rotates and resembles a trigger of a firearm. Of the drawbacks, it should be noted that the latter creaks a little. However, most gamers play headphones, so they do not bother. Controllers at Razer Hydra are the same. They are made of plastic with small irregularities, which allows them to lie in their hands comfortably and not slip.

Such a decision will be useful for those who prefer to play shooters, in which the first-person narrative is presented. Another mode allows you to change the position of the cursor. In order to perform this manipulation, you have to move the controller itself in space. In general, this control is considered simple, although it requires some sleight of hand. In the first case, it is quite clear where the ground should look. In the second mode, the base is directed to where the player's gaze is. Otherwise, the cursor will not receive "pulses".
The second mode is standard for all games, where basic control is almost impossible with the keyboard.

But it's worth it.
