here at the Razer Suite we're handson with the Razer Sabertooth this is a
0:04
replacement and a more premium option compared to their previous generation
0:08
onza console controller this works for Xbox 360 and for PC and they've made a
0:13
couple of tweaks to the functionality that I think gamers are going to enjoy
0:16
welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is
0:20
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted
0:25
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is
0:29
linkis
0:33
while it doesn't have macro functionality because they're trying to maintain their tournament legality it
0:38
does have some extra buttons so just like the onza you have programmable
0:41
buttons so check out here you have your regular left and right shoulder you have
0:45
your analog Triggers on the left and right these two right here are
0:48
programmable when I flip it over aha you
0:52
have two more programmable switches that you can trigger with the fingers that go
0:57
under the controller like this so you can rock them back for so you have a
1:00
total of six programmable buttons the overall quality of the controller feels
1:04
dramatically better than onza it's extremely rigid extremely stiff and
1:08
looks like it can handle not only being chucked around but also some abuse on
1:12
the connector the connector itself actually screws in and it has a four pin
1:16
inside that's keyed so you can only put it in the correct way you've also got a
1:20
braided sleeve which we've come to expect from any sort of highquality
1:24
Razor component the accessories that it includes are rubber caps a carrying case
1:29
as well as rubber for covers in case you don't want to use these switches it
1:32
includes a screwdriver and rubber covers you can take those off it's totally up
1:36
to you programming it is a piece of cake so you it's got two profiles and you can
1:41
remap any of the six programmable keys we're going to go out of that all you do
1:45
is hold this down program or rather press this program mode you press the
1:50
programmable button you want to program and then you want to go okay I want to remap that to X done now you can
1:55
customize the controls for your game regardless of whether the game developer
1:59
actually was going to allow you to do that you switch between your profiles
2:03
also if you decide okay look I don't want any profiles at all I want to go
2:06
back to bone stock you hold this down for 5 seconds say yeah I want to totally
2:11
wipe it it's done it does have Rumble which of course any premium controller
2:15
would these days and I think that pretty much covers it so thank you for checking
