Thrustmaster presents an elegant weapon for a more civilized age

And here we thought the other solutions on the market were good enough. Turns out, that isn't the case, because Thrustmaster has come in and totally set the bar really high. One of the big problems with these lightsaber knock-offs is that most have been fairly short. Well, it appears Thrustmaster's Glow Saber Duo Pack overcomes that and succeeds in many ways:

It comes in a pack of two
The beam's length looks like it's long enough
It has a sweet handle
It's only $17.99
It's not as clumsy or random as a blaster

So there you have it. Thrustmaster wins.

Aside from having a funny name, Thrustmaster has been making stuff for the Wii for awhile now. Check out their wireless Classic Controller alternative here, or lay your eyes on their rechargeable docks right here.

Their 'Classic Controller' is awesome, but it is not a Classic Controller. It's a Wavebird. I know this because Geometry Wars Galaxies supports the Classic Controller, but not the Wavebird... nor the Thrustmaster. It's great otherwise.

awesome, im still not getting TFU yet tho...

Great, not only is it a phallic-shaped bit of plastic you strap to the wii remote, but it's also called "Thrustmaster".

They really thought that one through.
