I don't like where the start and back buttons are positioned on it. Great otherwise.
Still got it before TheMooseinNam which is a plus

Allowing you to have that controller is like giving a chimp a machine gun... no good can come of it I'm not remotely jealous...

What's your opinion of the triggers? I've read mixed reviews on them.

Haven't really been able to use it without an xbox
Would need to play an fps before making a judgement on them.
For now it serves as a wired gamepad for the laptop.

I feel much better now, knowing that I have an xbox and will have the controller before you come home and have your xbox back

Just a few questions to people who use modded controllers
whats the point? its cheating.
Why do you still think your good at a game if its made to have an unfair advantage? Just means you arent good at games and to keep trying

The Razer Onza is licenced by microsoft and the touranament edition is MLG approved so while it is a modded control I think it will just improve skills and reaction time.

TheMooseInNam

Well, mine just arrived in the post today. I'll let you know later this evening if it gives an unfair advantage or not. Anybody feel like joining the opposing team on BF:BC2 tonight???

garysully1986

Got mine in the post yesterday, Defo takes some gettin used to, The analog sticks seem a bit odd when u are tryin to run in Blops u sorta have to pull back a slight bit on the stick, Defo a drastic improvement over the original controller! Highly recommended!

I've only got to play about 45 minutes with mine so far and haven't even tried to master the extra bumper buttons yet.

However, I can already say that this controller is probably the best I've ever used yet, on any console!

It just feels right. Light weight, perfect size in my hands and the A, B, X & Y buttons are very responsive. The thumbsticks take a little bit to get them adjusted to feel just right. I have them about 60% of the way towards full tension, which suits me.

I've added an FPS freak to the right thumbstick and covered both with CAPS4STIX to add extra grip. No problem maxing out the sensitivity on either BF:BC2 or Red River. The extra tension on the sticks allows for very manageable control of movement and aiming.

I'd say a quality product for any FPS gamer, highly recommended.

I was thinking about getting the Onza, but i'm just wondering about a few things.

Is it 100% MLG approved, because I'm not going to get it if it isn't.

How do you map the bumper buttons?

Yeah Its the Tournament edition which is MLG certified, The bumpers have two small buttons on the rear of the controller where the battery would normally be and can be programmed to any button on the controller, Very handy

I didnt think the FPS Freaks would fit on the thumbsticks but might try this later, Yeah apart from the thumbsticks being a little difficult getting used to I have to agree the best money I have spent on the console yet, Highly recommended!

Didn't know that about play.com but I think limexb are out of stock.

TheMooseInNam

I bought mine directly from the razer store, I think. Can't remember, actually. Maybe that was all the other Razer stuff I bought.

Either way, you should be able to buy them from there.

Can you confirm that the FPS Freaks work with the Onza.I thought the thumbstick tensioner would prevent that.

I got my Onza TE while in the US at Easter. Thought I was brilliant getting it for €38 taking the xchange rate into consideration. Got home, plugged it in, played for half an hour then it turned itself off and won't come back on, it only vibrates. Then if you wait about 2 hours, you can get another half an hour out of it.
I emailed Razer support and they said I could exchange it if I bring it back to the shop..........no chance so I'm stuck with a dodgy Onza which I'm disappointed about but after searching online, it appears they rushed them out anyway as there are lots of issues.
I wasn't as impressed with it as I thought tbh. I tried to use the programmable buttons in Halo3 but they are smaller and they started to annoy me so I just mapped them to the same as bumpers in the end. Also, didn't like the position of Start and Back buttons. The tension concept is good but I didn't get enough game time to really notice the difference.
In short, when they come down in price, I may get one from somewhere I can return it to in case its faulty but after being able to play even for short periods, I wasn't amazed at the differences over the MS controllers so I'm not rushing out to get one.

koneko

Did you get back to Razer and tell them you can't bring it back to the shop?
For support, with a new product, first referral will be back to the store but if you can't go there may be they can replace it direct. If they say no, kick up a fuss.

Iraqi_Jaki

Yeah I tried going down that route suggesting replacing directly or through limexb360 but they were having none of it. Serves me right for trying to save some money. Didn't expect Razer to be so poor with hardware quality considering the good name they have. I suppose its another reason why I wouldn't rush out to replace it.
