Razer Atrox Arcade Stick-p

I got the 360 version when it was on sale and it is fantastic. I have had very few problems getting it to work on my pc (which is what I bought it for). Xbox one version is a lot harder to get to work on pc from what I understand. The parts feel good. I am a very casual Street Fighter V player and this def makings executing combos a lot easier. It takes a small amount of adjustment from a controller but very quickly I found myself playing better with the stick. I also got the octagonal restrictor plate to help with the uppercut motion. It is my first and hopefully only stick and it is everything I thought it would be. Responsive, accurate, and makes executing moves easier which means I can do better and have more fun when I'm not messing up my inputs.

The stick worked as advertised (although this is not a very complicated product). However, the material used were not of high quality. The hinges were very weak. They actually broke and Razer doesn't offer replacement parts for purchase. Terrible company.

I recently purchased this on sale. More often than not, it will become unresponsive. When playing SFV, I spend so many matches helplessly unplugging/replugging the stick back in, watching my opponent wait and wait until they probably think I'm AFK and just finish the round/match. Eventually it might work and I can compete in the second set or even the second round (if I'm lucky). I contacted Razer support and they told me I had to test it on another machine. I don't have a second machine or an xbox to test it with. Sadly, I can't go to my friends house to test it, either. So Razer support cannot help me. I'm stuck with a stick that doesn't function properly. While other people may not experience the same problem, or maybe the problem is local to my machine, I am unable to get the help I need to get the product working in an acceptable capacity.

although the stick itself is neat and I love it, the fact that this is the second unit from razer I purchase and having problems already with the cable makes it suck !! Razer should put more quality there, as all the features you can find on this stick are top end, but the cable is major crap!!! People do not store the cable inside the case, fail to avoid this, and you will find yourself very quickly with a faulty cable.

In my glorious return to fighting games, I needed an arcade stick. Let's just say this right off the bat; you usually can't go wrong with Razer hardware. Moving on...The weight of it really works out well. It may feel heavy when you pick it up at first, but once you set it in your lap, you'll be thankful for the weight. Along with the rubber-matted bottom, the weight really keeps the stick in place. You've no fear of the arcade stick shifting around because you're hitting the joystick or buttons a little too hard in your zealous gaming fervor.The buttons are responsive. In fact, they're really responsive. Let it be known, if anything, this is my only gripe; if you have large hands like me, they weigh quite a bit. Just resting my fingers on the buttons would, sometimes, cause them to activate. So, you can imagine if you're playing Street Fighter Ultra and in nervous anticipation of an opposing Ryu's hadoken and you're ready to block or jump. You poise yourself only to have your weighty, meaty fingers press down on a fierce punch just to remember you can't punch a hadoken just catch it with your teeth.Other than that, the wires are very organized within, there's a small compartment to hold spare parts, and the joystick is very responsive.

Pros: This is a solid stick that features premium parts, has good weight and a rubber padded bottom that keeps the stick in place whether it is on your lap or on a table during those intense matches. As you open the lid to look at the inner part of the atrox...the easy access to all the buttons, the detachable cable, the tools that allow you make your buttons switches or switch out the ball top for the bat top ( that is included) is all right there lay out for you. With the pre-holed floor there is no problem putting other pcb boards in order to make your atrox mutil-console ready. The main reason that I purchased this is for the easier access to make the customizations as I see fit without the hassle of getting pass all the screws and wires that you have to get pass in order to get started.Cons: The price-tag and the fact that is just compatible with the X-box 360 and PC will be a turnoff to some and will probably turn towards other sticks such as the qanba, madcatz, eight arc and the like.Conclusion: This is a solid stick and if you can afford the price tag you should give this stick a try especially if you have the know how in making this stick compatible with other consoles, because the atrox main goal is be a stick built for gamers by gamers and I feel that Razer has accomplish that goal

I received my Atrox in the mail at around 12:30pm this afternoon. Only 7 hours after I opened the box it stopped working. Nothing happens when I plug it into my Xbox and it drains the power from my USB hub. If I connect it to my laptop it says that the device is draining too much power. They claim that it was designed to be used in competitions, but it stopped working after 2 hours. In the end I spent $200 for a hollow box with premium sanwa parts. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Was debating to get this or not due to the mixed reviews but let me tell you I do not regret getting it. The build quality is amazing, sturdy and heavy. The components are competition grade sanwa buttons and stick so every fireball every input is Flawless, compatibility is to be expected for 360 but I use it for pc primarily and does not disappoint, my pc picked up the joystick as soon as I plugged it in. I played killer instinct and street fighter V perfectly. Get this fightstick, Dont go by the negative reviews, some people you can never please 100%
