Razer Sabertooth Vs XBOX 360 controller

Solution to your problem

"PAD controllers for PC"

shudders

When using AA batteries, I use the Duracell Rechargeabe StayCharged (2000 mAh). They keep the charge really well, and if you buy a pack of 4 then you always have some spare charged & ready. For the record, I use a wired 360 pad for my PC anyway, I use these batteries for my camera.

Play & charge kit don't work on PC. I have it, works only on xbox 360, and only charges when You hook it up to usb on PC.
Go with a wired controller.
Controller I use and it works pretty good on PC and xbox 360: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Officially-Licensed-GamePad-Black/dp/B007WBA9F6/ref=sr_1_20?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1367408746&sr=1-20&keywords=madcatz

when it comes to rechargeable batteries I highly recommend eneloops

The original Razer Onza is somewhat notorious for it's flawed production runs, meaning they wear out faster and/or have sligth malfunctions out of the box. I'm not sure if they fixed that for the Sabertooh.

Xbox battery packs do have limited use - how long depends on how much you use the controller. Quick Charge kit and Charge & play kit contain the same type of battery pack as far as I know.
One annoying side effect when you use the wireless pad on PC is that there's no easy way to switch it off apart from removing the battery. It does switch off automatically if left idle for a few minutes though.

There's also the wired version of the Xbox pad to consider. Slightly light to the touch since there's no batteries weighing it down, but otherwise handles the same as the wireless version.

If you're looking for a controller with a good D-pad, neither are particularly attractive options..

I myself have 2 xbox360 wireless controller. I truely enjoy the freedom without a wire. The recommendation below about batteries might be convenient. I'll do the same.

xbox 360 controller. its better

I probably belong to the minority, who prefer DualShock 3.

I think X360 controller would be better. Of course invest in rechargable AA batteries too.

Razer

The solution is to avoid at all costs. Problem solved.

So, I'm playing with the wireless 360 controller, and it's f*cking awesome. For the battery problem: I bought about 240 Kodak batteries for 20 bucks, but I had to change them only once in 6 month now. Just get a little backlog of batteries for your controller and use them ONLY for this reason :P

I like to keep it simple with my wired xbox controller.

logitech f710 i have it and loving it

I can confirm that the xbox 360 quick charge kit will kill battery packs in 6 months or less.. it absolutely has nothing to do with the fact that I left the battery charging for 2 months straight.. absolutely nothing :P(don't ask why.. just don't.. because it was a RROD)

Only xbox 360 controller^^
But one problem. You need receiver for connect your wireless controller to PC :/
I buy from china - , but low price and free shiping)
this x)
Also battery

I have both. I prefer the DPAD on the Razer so I'd say go with the Razer.

Well even though I prefer Dualshock (works great with mac, needs some 3rd party drivers on win) I do have MS wireless gaming receiver device to connect my 2 XBOX 360 controllers. After the initial driver struggle (bought from ebay so I'm pretty sure it's not the official one) it works really good and have no connection issues whatsoever. The wireless gaming receiver cost like $10 and I have no issues with batterylife (using eneloop rechargables)
