Click here to read and watch my review of the Razer Onza.

http://reflectzyn.com The Gear, Gadgets, Games blog and website of Professional Gaming Team AmazYn.

arCtiC shows exactly how he is playing Gears of War with the Razer Onza Tournament Edition. arCtiC has his Razer Onza Multi-Function Buttons configured like so:

Right Multi-Function Button: Remapped to A Button (Sprint, Roll, Cover, Mantle)
Left Multi-Function Button: Remapped to B Button (Melee)

I am currently not using the adjustable tension on the analog sticks.

@arcticvbi what level is the durability of the controller? Everyone ive asked has told me the onza lasts a maximum of 2 months?? How long have you had yours?

[arCtiCvBi]

@jmoinen my first lasted 10 months and I'm currently on my second which has been about 4 months now.

Your voice is inspirational.

[arCtiCvBi]

@StewedBrisket thank you :)

Hey arctic, I bought this controller because of this review but in my opinion, the buttons wear out. Gears require the use of the A button a lot and I found out that this wears out the A button. My A button is pressed into the controller and less elevated than before. I don't even get the response I need to and sometimes I have to switch back to my normal Xbox controller because it doesn't even respond to A. It was fun for the first few weeks but now I can't use it.

[arCtiCvBi]

@JFDEZTV I'm not sure if you got this issue resolved but you should check with Razer about it.

[jmoinen]

@arcticvbi ok,it shouldnt be a problem tho since it has a 1 year warranty. I bought one yesterday, can't wait to learn to wall bounce with this thing! think its really gonna step my game up when i learn to use it :P

[Gearshardcore]

is that a new map

[iGlowInTheDark88]

In the past two months, I had to replace this controller three times :( The first time, the controller started slow turning. The second time, the right trigger was not registering all of my pulls. The third time, the left trigger stopped working. I really really really wanted to love this controller, but it is just too faulty. Back to the original 360 controller for me.

i have this cntrllr & the analog stiks hav an unnatural down drift. i know that after a bit any cntrllr's analog stiks will drift, but the drift on this controller is very cnsdrable & not like any other drift i've seen w/ any other cntrllrs. it drifts DIRECTLY down, & the drifting is sort of "twitchy" i've heard other ppl hav had the same problem with their controllers + i ALWAYS baby everythng i own, w/ that said, i'm sure this is not due 2 mistreatment. i don't recommend this controller 2 any1

[dem6nseed]

Great vid!! Do you shotgun w/ your middle or index finger (while wall bouncing) using the Onza?

[TheDavidBomberman]

do you think i shud buy the razer onza te

[dexito]

I boight it 3 days ago, and the reason was the extra buttons. One of my dreams on gears of war was being able to do the rollo r wal bounce and being able to use the right trigger. After this 3 days, i've learnt a little bit, and i hace to say it is AWSOME. If you're surrounded by several enemys, you can dodge almost every attack, and every time I play it gets better and better. I receomend it highly for gears of war fans.

[Gwizzlez]

you should go into politics dude you're a very good speaker

[TheMacTutos]

how much money ? And Were ?

[ollaveli]

is the controller lite ????

[Keosegner]

@arCtiCvBi Okay well then its just me.

i had it for a over a month now, using it for gearss 3 and i found a solution for the problem. Now i play with my middle finger placed resting just beneath the trigger, forcing me to move it everytime i have to presse the tringer with my indexfinger, i got used to it, now. And its worth it. Cant see my self playing with the normal ms controller again. U can also fix this problem by using middlefingers fro triggers, i just couldnt get used to that on both

[grimsey1177]

Great video, it would be cool if you did an update of how you use the onza with Gears 3. Waiting for mine to be delivered.

[danforththe3rd]

I'm so buying one now bro!! Love what yall do at amazyn, making me pro one youtube video at a time!! If you wanna get down on some koth hit me up (Dan1mals hous3)

[bignatedogg76]

feels like a dumb question but what do you think is the best way to adapt to the a maped to the right multi function.

[arCtiCvBi]

@Keosegner I haven't had that issue actually, maybe initially, but it feels really natural now. I've been playing with the controller for over a year so I think I'm just adjusted to it

[arCtiCvBi]

@BarrowRoll I alternate between using my middle finger and my rolling my index onto the MFB.

[jezbong]

Great intro vid for the Onza, just ordered mine, looking forward to getting to grips with it. Especially for Gears. Gonna take some practice, but I think it'll workout for the best.

[BarrowRoll]

So with your setup, how do you reload while roadie running? Middle finger?

[rockoleterero]

FRIKI xD

[Keosegner]

very nice video Arctic, you really understands how to catch people attention.

But i have had this controller for a week now. Im enjoying very much so far. I played halo reach during the week and the controller made a huge difference, improving my gameplay. Now im playing gears with it, and my only problem is, that it really hurts holding it. Having the a set to one of the mappable buttons. It forces you to spread out your middle finger and index finger very much. u guys have the same problem?
