Link: MFiGamer’s Junglecat Impressions

MFiGamer from fellow iPhone controller gaming site mfi4gamerz does a nice job summarizing the upcoming Razer Junglecat, as well as listing the some pros and cons associated with what we know so far. But he comes to a conclusion don’t quite I agree with.

MFiGamer says:

I really want to like this controller but regardless of how elegant it looks functionally it doesn’t add up enough to justify the $99 price tag. Razer seriously need to reconsider the price if they wish it to be a success.

Personally, I’m not so sure about that. $99 is a tough sell, no question about it, but Razer has made a business from selling premium quality products at premium prices. You can buy a decent mouse or keyboard for $20, but if you want to buy a Razer mouse or keyboard, which are among the best in the business, the price can easily run above $100 each.

Gamers WILL pay premium prices for premium products, and Razer has a history of delivering those products. Has Razer done so here? We shall see.
