I don't own an xbox, I used to but it RRoD a week and a half after the 3 year warranty expired, I fixed it, then it died again and then gave up on it. SInce then I've moved to PC gaming, and my Logitech G9X, and G13 are doing a solid job. But there are those games that just feel wrong to play without a controller, mostly console ports, GFWL titles, racing/flying, braid, prototype, fable series, fallout/skyrim. I also have early signs of CT and I find I can play for hours with a controller and have zero discomfort, while K&M it's hit or miss.
I'm looking for something to replace my M$ 360 wireless controller, it's always sucked and after doing some research today I discovered it was due to the "slow" thing that they are known to suffer from. I'm tired of the wireless reciever taking up a usb port I'd rather use for something else, as well as the charge cable when the battery is low. I'd rather combine them into one cable that I just plug in when I need, and not have to worry about the controller turning off when playing BF3 so I can just pick it up when I go to fly (and often crash, but that is another story)
I've heard good and bad things about the Razor Onza's, either they are the best thing since sliced bread, or the sticks fail and it's a nightmare dealing with customer support. I don't like Mad Catz personally everything by them I've touched felt cheap, I've heard they've gotten better, but they wouldn't be my first choice.
I have had the wired controller from M$ in the past, but I traded it for my current 360 controller I couldn't get used the weight it was light, and that bothered me. I was the guy that used the origional xbox controller even though the controller-s came out and everyone raved about it, it just didn't feel comfortable in my hands. I'm about a XXL. I used to use the old xbox controller on my pc, till vista came out and the custom drivers died off.
My old controller which I bought back with my 360 elite when it first came out was honestly the best I ever owned smooth turns, buttons broke in and always responded, triggers fired every time smoothly until it stopped powering up, I bought another black wireless and the right stick drifted after about 3 months. I put up with it for like a year as I didn't use it daily, and now I'm stuck with my current POS one that I hate, but it's my only real option short of dragging my origional controller out of storage and dissasembling it to fix it.
I'm looking at the RAZR's or something else that will do the job with minimal putzing around with drivers. I'm fluent with x-padder if the game doesn't support it.
Few points to consider:
Heavier the better, I like the heft.
Whatever material the M$ controllers are made of suck they make my hands sweat when I play, no idea why but I'm always wiping my palms but I don't when playing w/ k&b
Noslo is perfered, I'm not looking to compete in any tournaments, just not have to deal with poor contruction. I'm not going to put 300+ hours on it in the first 6 months. I just want something I'm not going to have to replace in a year.
More than one sentence answers are prefered with some details if you can. I preffer to make an informed decision on this as I do with most of my electronic purchases.
