Review: Razer Onza Controller | ReflectzYn

Is the controller better than the standard Xbox 360 controller, or is it just another third-party failure? To find out, stick around after the jump where my review will be discussing the following:

* Design
* Functionality
* Pros and Cons
* Who Should Buy

Good review. The TE seems like a great alternative to the standard 360 pad.

[Mottsy]

the review was very well informative! Really not sure how i feel about the triggers tho the D pad is a hell of alot better then the so called microsofts d pad

[RonaldRaygun]

I can't believe he took apart a brand new Onza. Very informative, but a small part of me died while watching that. lol

The d pad looks 100x better. I'm not sure how to feel about the triggers, but programming one of the extra bumpers to shoot is a really great idea. I bet you would have a really quick shot in shooters that way.

It's not so hard to put it back together.

[Firstkn1ghT]

Very interesting. Might have to try this out.

[jetlian]

needs to compare it to the new 360 dpad on the silver controllers

[Skyllus]

Unfortunately haven't had a chance to play with one. Fairly certain they use the same kind of part the Onza does though for the new 360 controller.

[jetlian]

360 controller moves so i'm sure its different. I just want to know which is better! I need 1 more controller

Really interested in the tension adjustable analog sticks. One, of not the only flaw (besidesthe dpad), with the 360 controller is the stiffer analog sticks compared to the DS3.

Problem with this is you don't get enough precision aiming. This tension adjustable solves that, so really looking forward to trying it out.

Would be nice if Razor made one for PS3

[Evil_Ghosty]

I actually find that I prefer the stiffer sticks on the X360 controller. Comparing my PS2 Controller to the DS3, that the DS2 was stiffer than my PS3 Controller as well.

Would be nice if Razer did make one for my PS3 so i could tighten them up.

he called him self a pro gamer and he use dropshots in cod? lol

[Skyllus]

I don't play CoD. It was an example.

[timbuktu]

You didn't do your research before making that comment did you? :(

[roflcopters]

too bad this wasn't a 360/ps3/pc hybrid controller. that would be a guaranteed buy for me.

[Skyllus]

It works for 360 and PC. Who knows, could see a PS3 one down the road.

[roflcopters]

i always preferred the 360 pad due to its size and form, so one controller for both systems would be awesome.

[rapidturtle]

Hopefully they build one for the PS3, and leave the sticks offset like the 360's. Hint Hint....

[ufo8mycat]

This would be great, even though the DS3 is still comfortable

[Ninjamonkey82]

Have had my on preorder for a bit not looking forward.

I knew about this controller since the middle of last year, and this is their 1st review?, what taking them so long? I want to see an IGN, GAMESPOT, GAMEPRO & GAMESPY review. Though I already BEEN sold on it since last year, I just wanna see what the main gamers sites have to say about the controller.

[timbuktu]

I know this Reflectzyn (or w/e) site has had more coverage on the Onza than any of the other sites you mentioned. Most of the major websites reviews aren't very informative anyway and they don't go into the fine details. I was actually surprised at how in depth this review was for a small site.

[jetlian]

just now coming out! they had ran into trouble with major league gaming.

[ufo8mycat]

Does this controller have the same dead zone as the 360, or is it more like the DS3 analog sticks?
