This thing’s made of tough, black plastic, with a soft-touch coating so it won’t slip out of your hand when you’re getting down to business. The touch-sensitive trackpad is how you control the main functions, like the speed of your strokes or interact with any partner devices. And just to remind you who’s boss, Asa Akira’s bold signature is plastered on the front, right above the trackpad.
The ONYX+ comes with three modes: Interactive, Manual, and Automatic. The interactive mode allows you to connect with your lady’s device or customize your interactive video experience. The Manual mode is just the device’s built in stroking modes, and the Automatic(as the name implies) automatically connects and syncs to the offered interactive videos. As for the Real-Feel Sleeve, you can’t use it without that insert and no, it’s not modeled after her. These sleeves are reusable and replaceable, so no need to worry about wear and tear. The texture is nothing to write home about. Just some spiky nubs with the main attraction being the device’s ten contracting rings that move up and down.
The orifice is neutral, white, and hidden behind a bottom cap that you have to pry off to get to it. Inserting the sleeve’s simple enough once you know what to do: rip open the packaging, yank the smaller plastic ring off the device, slide the sleeve in, and slap the retaining ring back on. Then you’re good to go, just dive into the interactive content or go old-school with manual mode. Simple, right?
Using this thing straight out of the box was a confusing experience, even with the manual. That bottom cap is on there tight, it took some more muscle than expected to get it off. And the retaining ring is pretty concealed. If I hadn’t been flipping through the manual, I’d have never guessed it needed to come off.
Once I opened the packet with the sleeve, I gotta admit, I was underwhelmed. The texture is nothing to write home about. And it fits too loose inside the device, only held in place by the retaining ring snugly gripping the opening.
Now, you can imagine my frustration after going through all that trouble, just to find the damn thing was completely DEAD. The manual says a full charge takes about four hours, and by the time it was ready to go, the excitement was pretty much gone. I was just annoyed at that point. At least the Bluetooth worked without a hitch and stayed connected, so there’s that. The ten rings? They were there, but nothing intense enough to make up for the bland texture. The motors were fine, not too loud, and the modes were decent to cycle through. On the bright side, the removable sleeve made cleaning a lot easier.
As disappointing as the user experience was, the quality’s actually decent. No rattling when you handle it, and the plastic feels solid, durable, and premium. The buttons are responsive and easy to hit when you’re in the middle of using it. Bluetooth connectivity works nearly flawlessly, and the interactive media syncing isn’t bad either.
The price! Man, oh man, the price. $220? That’s some serious cash. Yeah, the quality’s decent, but honestly? The experience just doesn’t justify that kind of money. Maybe if you’re desperate for a long-distance couples toy, it’d be worth it. But for that kind of dough? Hard pass.
