2013-01-09
here at the razor suite where hands-on with the razor Sabretooth this is a replacement and a more premium option compared to their previous generation ons a console controller this works for Xbox 360 and for PC and they've made a couple of tweaks to the functionality that I think gamers are going to enjoy welcome to Linus tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is Nexus well it doesn't have macro functionality because they're trying to maintain their tournament legality it does have some extra buttons so just like the ons that you have programmed a little button so check out here you have your regular left and right shoulder you have your analog triggers on the left and right these two right here are programmable when I flip it over aha you have two more programmable switches that you can trigger with the fingers that go under the controller like this so you can rock them back and forth so you have a total of six programmable buttons the overall quality of the controller feels dramatically better than ons it's extremely rigid extremely stiff and looks like it can handle not only being checked around but also some abuse on the connector the connector itself actually screws in and it has a four pin inside that's keyed so you can only put it in the correct way you've also got a braided sleeve which we've come to expect from any sort of high quality razor component the accessories that it includes our rubber caps a carrying case as well as rubber covers in case you don't want to use these switches it includes a screw driver and rubber covers you can take those off it's totally up to you programming it is a piece of cake so you've got two profiles and you can remap any of the six programmable keys we're gonna go out of that all you do is hold this down program or a rather press this program mode you press the programmable button you want a program and then you want to go okay I want to remap that to X done now you can customize the controls for your game regardless of whether the game developer actually was going to allow you to do that you switch between your profiles also if you decide okay look I don't want any profiles at all I want to go back to bone stock you hold this down for five seconds say yeah I want to totally wipe it it's done it does have Rumble which of course any premium controller would these days and I think that pretty much covers it so thank you for checking out this video of the Razer Sabretooth don't forget to check out all our coverage here at CES 2013 by subscribing to Linus tech tips thanks for watching Linus tech tips at CES 2013 powered by Corsair Seagate Technology and Linksys you
