Thoughts on the MLG-Madcatz Controller vs. The Razer Onza (Premium Controller War)

K.L. Smith: "In a limited selection of premium grade, Xbox 360 peripherals, I believe that there is market for companies producing high quality products with a targeted focus towards Competitive Gaming. Razer stepped up to the plate and delivered a controller that is, in my opinion, better than the standard Xbox 360 controller for most shooters.

Now enter third-party peripheral giant, Madcatz, and their co-branded Major League Gaming controller. Madcatz has been in the game longer than most care to remember and the vast majority of their products are assembled in the cheapest, quickest manner possible. Twelve years of the “fastest manner possible in cheapest manner possible,” process has arguably given them one of the worst reputations in the gaming industry.

Within the last few years however, Madcatz has attempted to change their M.O., specifically after Mark Julio, @MarkMan23 on Twitter, joined their staff in late 2008.

Now that we have some substance to the story, let’s talk about the controller."
