What are you experiences using the Onyx+?

I’ll say it because no one else is. I’m lucky if I can manage 10 minutes with the Handy, and I dig something a little less intense. What can I say? I’m getting old… The Onyx is great for that. An experience less than 10 minutes is hardly even worth getting the equipment out. The Onyx is the right intensity level for me to control myself and go for the length of time I want to go. It’s enough to get me there when I’m ready, and not so much it gets me there too quickly.

For anyone who needs to know, the Onyx can be paired for scripts, the same as the Keon/Launch. It’s not as simple as the Handy, but it absolutely can be done, and it’s absolutely worth it. The easiest way is to use the SLR Interactive app on your Android phone, but there are other ways too (generally requiring a full PC setup). Let me know if you need more direction. I’ll be the first to say that the Onyx definitely falls short without scripts.

The default sleeve works well for me, but Kiiroo does offer a snug-fit sleeve as well. I haven’t used it so can’t say if it might solve at least one of your problems. As far as I know though, the length is the same.

The only quality issue I’ve had was when I knocked it off a table while it was plugged in, and it damaged the charging port. That was my fault though… I didn’t attempt warranty coverage, and just bought a new one. The battery life can be a bit of a bummer, but it’s legit good for about an hour and a half.

I know there’s a handful of Onyx users out there. I wouldn’t want anyone to read this thread and completely disregard the Onyx because of it. It’s not for everyone, but it definitely has a place. Overall, I’ll just say that it’s a different experience than the Handy/Keon/Launch. It’s one I prefer, but I recognize that I am in the minority. It works for me quite well though.
