- Razer revealed and released 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 released its latest PlayStation 5 controller; the Razer Raiju V3 Pro. This new controller appears to bring serious improvements over its predecessors such as the Razer Raiju Ultimate and the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro, both adjacent to the PS5.
Compatible with PS5 and PC, the Raiju V3 Pro is available now for $219.99 / £199.99 (around AU$339) and can be picked up from the Razer website or in-stock retailers. Razer also told TechRadar Gaming that an Amazon listing should go live in the coming days.
So what makes the Raiju V3 Pro interesting, especially considering its high price that puts it in the same range as the DualSense Edge and Victix Pro BFG Relaoded?
This is one of the first PS5 controllers to offer TMR joysticks. Similar to the Hall Effect, these help eliminate the risk of stick drift, but they maintain a feel closer to that of traditional analog sticks. Razer also brings its mouse click technology here; Remappable back buttons, trigger locks, and pad bumpers all provide immediate, responsive presses that are reminiscent of clicking a mouse.
Additionally, you can expect a circular d-pad design, just like we saw with the Xbox-compatible Razer Wolverine V3 Pro. Definitely handy when you need extra precision in top fighting games and similar competitive environments. The controller also supports wireless playback via a 2.4GHz connection, with an estimated battery life of around 10 hours based on my own testing.
If my tone here seems positive, it’s because I’ve spent the last two weeks testing the Razer Raiju V3 Pro for review, and I really like it. The Wolverine V3 Pro is one of my favorite Xbox pads, and the Raiju does much the same for the PS5 platform. Be sure to read our Razer Raiju V3 Pro review to learn more.
