Razer Sabertooth Wired Xbox 360 and PC Controller

2014-07-26
razor sabertooth controller works on Xbox 360 and PC oled screen 10-foot detachable cable for hyper responsive buttons and six additional multifunction buttons the jazz mini phone and tablet stand from Coolermaster is now available in a variety of cool colors from these great retailers click now to learn more all right you guys know me I didn't really bother to try this out on an Xbox 360 but I'm sure it works just fine I did try it on a PC however and all it really needed once I plugged it in was for Windows to auto detect a driver install and it was ready to go yes that does mean that this controller doesn't use Razer synapse 2.0 software personally I like that because I'm not a huge fan of background processes of pretty much any sort and keeping my processes down is a constant battle for me but this does mean that you're maxed out to the two profiles that fit on the controller that being said personally I don't see myself using more than those two profiles so it's probably fine speaking of profiles the OLED screen is responsive and easy to use especially if you're just trying to change something simple like a profile which can be done with the button on the left of the little screen changing anything from either profile is handled by the button on the right with some help from the d-pads up and down buttons for changing menu rotation and a and B for different selections in the customization menu you can do anything from turning rumble and/or the backlight on or off to advance things like testing mode which can be used to test the precision of your analog sticks and prove to your friends that it isn't actually the controllers fault and they just need to get on your level and last but not least is program mode in program mode all you need to do is hold down the multifunction button that you want to bind and tap the button you want to bind it to for instance if you wanted to bind multi-function button 6 to a key I would hold that button down and then press the button you want to bind it to once you've done that exit the little menu on the OLED screen to get back to the razor screen and you're good to go next up is the detachable cable which is nicely braided and comes with a screw-on connector which as long as you remember to line it up properly is quite easy to plug in correctly this is really nice to see on a premium level controller some people may not care about the detachable Kable if they don't plan to travel with their controller but I travel with my xbox360 controller is quite a bit because they make playing games in cramped and awkward spaces like say an airplane seat a lot easier I'll definitely appreciate the detachable cable as I believe one of my controllers has likely died from cable torquing in my bag this one time when I was going over to ferry to the island didn't work on the other end so yeah that sucked next up we have all the input buttons the thumbsticks seem fairly standard and they're finished quite nicely and in the packaging they have some Razer green colored tops for the thumb sticks which can change the feel and protect your thumb sticks from where person I'll be leaving them off of mine because I feel like my thumbs kind of slip off of them while they're on and I'm not too worried about the durability as they're actually quite nice Lim sticks the d-pad is pretty nice and an improvement over the Anza in my opinion but I wouldn't really want to play a platformer on it personally that being said the separated buttons would be really nice for QuickTime events as I doubt there would be as many wrong inputs which can be very frustrating most games that I play on this controller wouldn't be platformers anyways or I could just use the analog stick in that platformer like I did in shovelknight fantastic game by the way the hyper responsive buttons are actually hyper responsive the audio and tactile feedback is fantastic when and when paired up with a short travel length it feels great when spamming kinda reminds me of typing on a cherry blue switch keyboard - the obvious travel length differences and then we come to the multifunction buttons the em1 and em2 shoulder buttons are just enough out of the way that they don't feel like I would accidentally press them and just enough in the way that I could press them easily if I actually needed to and the story doesn't differ much for the M 3 through 6 buttons on the back these I'll admit I was pretty worried about with my fairly large hands I expected them to be crazy annoying but they happen to sit in just the right position that they don't really bother me and if I did Razer includes a screwdriver to remove them and rubber plugs to fill the holes once you do nice just three more things guys one it's not Wireless 2 it has a 2.5 billion metre microphone jack on the bottom if you're into that sort of thing and last but not least 3 if you're running xpadder and you're kind of a guru and you plan on running custom controls on every button you're slightly out of luck due to controller handling the rebinding of the multifunction keys you can only bind said keys to other keys on the controller so say if you bind a two space bar you could bind m4 to a which would then be spacebar but you couldn't find m4 to spacebar directly it has to go through the bind of another button on the controller it can't be independent all right guys I'm still not necessarily done my search because it's a pretty big decision for me if this lasts as long as my xbox360 controller did I'll be using this for a long time I got my xbox 360 controller on launch what like eight or nine years ago what do you guys think I'd love to get your input down below or on the forum and while you're down there don't forget to like or dislike the video favorite the video share the video subscribe to the channel and donate up for on the forum because that gets rid of all the ads and I know you're not running ad blocker right so yeah don't even worry about at all if you want a shirt that's again not this shirt be sure to check out the link in the description down below I know we should have the link down there for our Mountain Land shirts which are up for a while and have been selling quite well they're pretty cool so I'll be sure to check that out thank you guys for watching I'll see you guys next time
