The Razer Onza Tournament Edition(any skin) is the best controller available right now. Just make sure to save your warranty information that comes with it, because it is a controller and analog sticks will get stuck.The extra shoulder buttons are above RB and LB, which takes about 5 minutes to get used to.
Adjustable tension on the analog sticks really does help you win harder.
The start and back buttons are in a perfect spot. I don't know how many times I've seen stoners smashing away on the X button and hit Start on accident. And if you don't like the location, switch back to a regular 360 controller after 2 weeks and see how many times you hit the Guide button and Start at the same time.
The awesome, braided cord is super long, so nobody "be trippin"
But if they somehow manage to "be trippin" the nifty extra plug thing near the usb plug will let go so your precious Xbox doesn't fall and get hurt like your dumb friend/grandparent.
The A B X Y buttons light up, so be prepared to get all the chicks.
If you use Turtle Beach X11s like me, you'll have to plug them into your controller with your Xbox on and then restart your Xbox. At least I've had to with both of my Razer controllers.
It comes with stickers.
Best Deals for Razer Onza Professional Gaming Controller - Xbox 360
I just got mine yesterday, and I love it. It is very comfortable to use and seems to be very high quality. I don't see what all the hate is about, this is a really good product. I am glad that it is wired so now I can use it for my PC as well as my Xbox. It works very well with Mass Effect 3, as well as shooters. I have tried this with Mass Effect 3, Battlefield 3, and Fallout 3; just to name a few.BASIC OVERVIEW
-PROS
The controller feels really nice, it is made of sleek materials and doesn't fell rubbery or squishy at all.
The buttons (A,B,X,Y) are AMAZING. They are way better than the original kinds of buttons. I barely even need to click them to get it to do the button's action.
The re-mappable buttons are a very nice touch. Works great when you are on the fly (run) and you can't take your fingers off of the thumbsticks.
The Precision D-Pad is extemely responsive and one of the best D-Pads I've ever seen on a controller.
The controller is wired, so there is no need to keep getting batteries to keep on playing.
The ability to add or take away resistance to the thumbsticks really helps with shooters.
The wire is 15 feet long. Yeah, you heard me. 15 FEET. You can sit all the way across the room and play!
The ergonomic design adds to the experience. I don't know about you guys, but this controller just seems to "fit." My hands perfectly fit on it and it seems to improve my gameplay.
-CONS
Not many cons, but there were a few.
The thumbsticks (the actual tops of them) are a little slippery. I recommend getting some sort of analog stick cover for them. WARNING! These are not normal thumbsticks, and I doubt all kinds of grips will fit! I use
Grip-it analong stick covers, and they work perfectly. You can get those here:

The back and start buttons are a little awkwardly placed. This is a minor deal. I just need to reach farther to hit them. If you are really agitated by this, then remap the extra buttons to be start and back.
The controller feels pretty different compared to an original controller, and may take time getting used to. The triggers especially may take some time.
Not really a big deal at all, but the Red N7 stripe on the left side of the controller isn't that red. The actual one is a little darker and more like the No. 7 of the Dark Cherry Red in this image:

This doesn't have to do with the controller, but the Collector Assault Rifle kinda sucks. If you really need it, then get it cheaper with the iPhone case.
RATING
Quality 5/5
Price 4/5
Concept 5/5
Overall, this is a great controller and I recommend it to anyone.
Many people say that their controllers have broken quickly, but at the moment I cannot comment on that subject, as I have only had mine for a day. I will write updates if I see problems or notice something worth writing about.
UPDATE!
My controller broke yesterday, the left trigger is not working at all. The controller is great while it works, but it breaks too easily.
Honest reviews on Razer Onza Professional Gaming Controller - Xbox 360
I bought this controller for the extra features and because I'm a big Mass Effect fan. I loved Razer's Naga Molten Edition mouse, so I thought I'd give them another shot. I tried to like this controller, but just couldn't. Granted, I have only had this controller for 3 days, I am seriously considering returning it. I purchased it directly from Razer.Pros:
Extra shoulder buttons can be remapped to (almost) every button on the controller.
Adjustable resistance analog sticks do what they say.
Smooth, comfortable surface.
Aesthetically pleasing (LED lights, Razer design, "texture," N7 stripe).
Separated D-Pad buttons.
Action buttons are extremely fast and work like a mouse click.
--------------------------------
Cons:
Shoulder buttons cannot be remapped to the opposite trigger or bumper. For example, the right multi-function button cannot be remapped to the left trigger.
The knobs to adjust the resistance on the analog sticks are hard to turn. I feel like I'm putting serious strain on them every time I adjust them. I'm guessing this is why they broke for so many people.
When the analog sticks are tightened to increase resistance, they are unevenly tightened. Pushing my right stick to the left side is harder than pushing it to the right, and so on.
As a wired controller, it connects via... a wire. This isn't a problem on most devices, unless the wire is rigidly stiff and 15 feet long. It is clunky and excessively long. It wants to stay in one position, making it hard to bend to a new one, and it often irritates my legs.
The four shoulder buttons click way too loud. Some louder than others.
The triggers are very difficult to rapid fire with, even while holding them at the base for the shortest press.
The D-Pad buttons need to be pushed in about a mile to register. Funny, considering the fact that they advertised the exact opposite for the buttons on the other side of the controller.
The controller's vibration seems odd somehow. It is kind of loud and not very pleasant.
My PS3 analog sticks on my old Xbox controller spoiled me. I don't know what Microsoft was thinking when they designed the introverted analog stick, but they get painful during long sessions. This controller's sticks are of a similar design, but offer slightly more comfort. When you get used to having smooth, rounded PS3 sticks, these are still a downside.
The controller doesn't support chat pad attachments. Razer tries to glorify this shortcoming in the FAQs by saying we are here to game, not to chat. Too bad basic literacy is sometimes essential for gaming. Meanwhile, I am plugging a keyboard into my Xbox to send messages or redeem codes...
--------------------------------
As a side note, the Collector Assault Rifle is nice. At rank 1, it fits somewhere between the Phaeston X and the Revenant X in power. However, it weighs too much. It is fun, but nothing special. It isn't worth purchasing promotional items for.
So basically, what we have here is plenty of great ideas but very poor execution. The controller offers increased functionality in some areas (A,B,X,Y buttons), while completely disregarding possible implementation of those improvements in other areas (any other given button that doesn't use the "mouse" style, particularly the D-Pad). If you have money burning a hole in your pocket and would like a spare controller, go for it. Just don't expect anything great. If you want something efficient and reliable, go for the regular old Microsoft controllers.
UPDATE 8/1/2012: from 3 to 2 stars...
The controller's left analog stick stopped working about a month ago and I had to send it back to Razer to have it replaced. They replaced it and I only had to pay about $9 for shipping. I've read many reviews on various sites of other people having this issue as well. I'd avoid this controller unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket.

I'm really impressed with this controller, it's one of the best I've ever owned. The listed features work as described.The ONLY complaint I have is the size of the Razer logo. I wish that it were more low-key.
