Horrible quality for an expensive product, I'm going to push for a refund rather than replacement as I don't know anyone who has bought an Onza and is still using the original!

These guys need to do a redesign on the Onza. Don't buy the controller until they do. On my fourth Onza now. These guys need to do a redesign on the Onza. Don't buy the controller until they do.

I just called a friend of my who owns one as well all he told me was "Crap!" I did not realized its so problematic. For a company that suppose to sell quality products this is a big no no. Hell my old ancient extinct Creative Cobra 2 Usb Gamepad (PC) until today 11-12 years old still has no issues, now that is quality product. I think I will stick with basic default old 360. At least until somebody made a more durable drooling controller that is... Man I really wanted to get one was drooling at one on display recently but decided to check online reviews first, lucky me.

Let me reassure you that the mechanics and quality of the product have not been tested thoroughly. I have bought a Razor Onza TE and had replaced it 5 times already because of issues like the ones mentioned above which include the following: Left & Right Bumper not responsive, Left Joy Stick Button poor responses, and Slow Turn Issues on both left & right Joy Sticks (which in my opinion was most frustrating.) With that said, I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this controller because of the defects. If, by some chance, they have a recall on these controllers and fix these issues then I will use the Razor Onza again. But as of now, I have put it to the side resting on my 2 year replacement plan. If you would like a reliable controller, then let me suggest this one: Mad Catz Pro FPS which also had extra buttons on the back, but are limited to certain ones. It takes getting use to those buttons on this controller, but if you practice like I do then you should be able to 360 nose scope someone in no time. So far from my experience with the controller there has been no defects at all and it's about 10 US dollars cheaper than the Razor. FPS Freeks work great as well and adding them to the Mad Catz FPS pro have been an added bonus when it comes to aiming precisely and maneuvering to your full control.

That original product really set a tone of quality for this company, but since then I feel it has only gone downhill. They retain great ideas and certainly strive to make products that have all the kinds of features that appeal to gamers. However, their build quality has been shoddy since their company reboot in 2004. Perhaps shoddy sounds a bit harsh, but their generally appreciated products come with significant feedback of flaws that tend to occur a while after purchase. I bought the Razer Boomslang CE (collectors re-release of the original Boomslang) which ended up with numerous performance issues after just a couple of months light use (LEDs stop working, skipping sensor performance). Since then I have lost most of my respect for Razer. I have considered some for their products, but after doing some research I all too often find articles like this that only solidify my concerns about this company. Unfortunately I find this to be the case with most 'pro-gamer' brands. They put emphasis on features and looks, then ditch the quality to keep the price low.

A few hours after the issue began it lost it's ability to connect at all.
