The Livid Ohm 64 controller can be seen in this photo of Mr. Bill. He confirms using the device in the following q+a, saying, "Mainly because I like the way it’s laid out. It’s all really straight forward. I use to use the APC40, which is also really straight forward, but I feel like the Ohm can be trashed a little bit more and thrown around a bit more. I just feel a little bit more comfortable using it."
