WarWeeny Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I am always a sucker for new game controllers and the buttons on the back (where the lb/rb and lt/rt are placed) piqued my interest. That price-tag is a bit too steep for my taste tho. ;_; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That price-tag is a bit too steep for my taste tho. ;_; Yeah, the MSRP is a bit high, but you can find it for as low as ~$65 USD...not sure about near you though :/ If you use a controller a lot, especially if you still use a 360, it's a little easier to stomach. But if not, then there are certainly much cheaper alternatives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I mean you can make a vacation out of it. I hear NY is lovely If i had a 1000 euro to spare for a vacation then i think the 80 euro's for that controller shouldn't be a problem Then again, my dream destination for a vacation is Japan and maaaybe America, if we can rally all the OCC staff to an event or place to hang out. .... I am really de-railing this thread by a lot ain't i? xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
l1il Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Speaking of de-railing, here is a reason to get to America (TURN the volume OFF!!!) O.P Drag racing Getting back to the joystick subject (giggity), I have the Razer Onza T.E edition. While I like the clicky ABXY keys, the D-pad and the joysticks get back to center more precisely than the original controller, they are not without fault with time. I have two of these (I really enjoy their features), one had a trigger problem where the contact got dirty and the other one's A buttons doubleclick on a single tap (bouncing problem). Dropping rubbing alcohol over it fixed it, but I don't know for how long. Plus the triggers have a squeaky noise when they have been under heavy use (racing games). I wanted to know how you feel about the Sabertooth regarding those issues. Thanks in advance Andrew! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to know how you feel about the Sabertooth regarding those issues. Thanks in advance Andrew! Well I've only had the Sabertooth for roughly a month; I'd estimate about 20 hours of actual in-game use thus far. Every button, trigger and stick have held up so far and no squeaky noise on the triggers, but it's a bit too early to tell if those issues will pop up. I never owned an Onza and only used it at events, so I can't compare its longevity to the Sabertooth, but the latter certainly feels like it's built better. That being said, the ABXY buttons are exactly the same as far as I know, so it'll be interesting if a "double-click" problem eventually occurs. Unfortunately, Razer doesn't provide any durability numbers (millions of clicks) on any of its products from what I can tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
