Product Description

The predecessor of the Surf Wave was released by the design company FounTech that licensed its technology to SEGA. FounTech Private Limited was a Japanese design firm responsible for the R&D and patents behind the electronics (specifically the RF Chip) inside the controller. They first released a brand of 900MHz controllers called AirStyle. The 3rd generation (3G) of the controller, with wireless vibration (dubbed W SHOCK), won IGN.com's Best of E3 2003 award but unfortunately had a limited run in America. The controller was unique since it was arguably one of the very few controllers at the time that had analog sticks and buttons very similar to the build quality and response of the original DualShock, sharing a very similar design scheme.
