Today, we take a quick detour off our normal path of evaluating PC-only hardware to look at brand new controller making waves in the Playstation universe. The $60 Zero Controller from Nyko is the first rumble and motion sensing controller for the Sony Playstation 3. Released only a few weeks ago, Nyko was the first to market with a controller that vibrates along with having six-direction tilt functionality.

Unlike the Sony controllers, third party controllers like the Nyko don't have built-in wireless functionality and thus need wireless adapter. Nyko has packaged a low latency USB adapter for use with the Zero controller that is a very simple to plug in and go. We didn't notice any lag or delay with this solution at all with using the Zero which was a concern of ours as we realized that there would be a USB adapter in the mix. The Nyko Zero is powered by a NiMH rechargeable battery that in our tests gave more than 20 hours of continuous gaming. Like the original Sony controllers, you can recharge these using the USB mini like you normally would. If you need more playtime, Nyko includes a "AA" battery pack so that you can have uninterrupted p0wnage...
