- Razer has revealed and launched the Raiju V3 Pro controller
- It is compatible with PlayStation 5 and PC.
- It’s available to buy now for $219.99/£199.99
Gaming hardware brand Razer has just revealed and launched its latest PlayStation 5 controller; the Razer Raiju V3 Pro. This new controller appears to provide major improvements over predecessors like the Razer Raiju Ultimate and the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro, both of which were also PS5-adjacent.
Compatible with PS5 and PC, the Raiju V3 Pro is available now for $219.99 / £199.99 (around AU$339) and can be purchased from Razer’s website or in retail stores. Razer also told TechRadar Gaming that an Amazon listing should go live in the coming days.
So what makes the Raiju V3 Pro worth a look, especially considering its premium price that puts it in the same ballpark as the DualSense Edge and Victix Pro BFG Reloaded?
It is one of the first PS5 controllers to offer TMR joysticks. Like the Hall effect, these help eliminate the risk of stick drift, but retain a feel closer to that of traditional analog sticks. Razer also brings its mouse click technology here; Remapable rear buttons, trigger locks, and pad bumpers provide immediate, responsive presses not unlike the click of a mouse.
Additionally, you can expect a circular directional pad design like we saw with the Xbox-compatible Razer Wolverine V3 Pro. Definitely useful when you need extra precision in top fighting games and similar competitive environments. The controller also supports wireless playback over a 2.4GHz connection, with an estimated battery life of around 10 hours based on my own testing.
If my tone here sounds positive, it’s because I spent the last two weeks testing the Razer Raiju V3 Pro for review and I really like it. The Wolverine V3 Pro is among my favorite Xbox pads, and the Raiju achieves the same for the PS5 platform. Be sure to read our Razer Raiju V3 Pro review to learn more.
