One is what Razer calls ‘trigger top switches’, which allows players to determine the distance needed to activate the all-important L2 and R2 triggers. In more practical terms Razer Raiju Ultimate is pitched primarily as an eSports controller, so there are few quirks particular geared towards that. There was no noticeable delay or lag between the three in any of my extended play sessions, and following a four-hour charge, the Bluetooth connection continued to hold strong. There are three play options that can be set via a switcher located on the backplate: wireless PS4 wireless PC, and wired with either two.

While largely pitched as a PS4 controller alternative, everything the Razer Raiju Ultimate brings to Sony’s console is also offered up on PC thanks to dual-compatibility. The Razer Raiju Ultimate maintains these technical strides for the most part, seeking to improve upon them by way of increased customisation, multi-functional buttons, and interchangeable D-pad and thumbsticks – all factors that are useful to the dedicated eSports player craving an edge the next time they step into Call of Duty.įor the average gamer, however, the increased number of options will likely serve as a complication, at risk of getting in the way of your next wistful outing in games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War where the quickest reaction times aren’t necessarily required.īuttons: Two back paddles, two bonus multi-function shoulder buttons, trigger stops, Mecha-Tactile face buttonsĬustomizable: Yes (d-pad and thumbsticks)Ĭonnectivity: Bluetooth, wired (braided micro-USB fiber cable) The addition of a massive touchpad that operates as a big button in the centre isn’t as annoying as sceptics initially thought, either. Whereas the leap from the PS2 analogue controller to the PS3’s left a lot to be desired in terms of iteration, for the current generation, PlayStation’s handset feels satisfying to hold and easy to use. This is because, from a pure comfort perspective, most PS4 players would agree that Sony nailed it with the design of the DualShock 4.

How do you improve on controller perfection to give players an edge? That’s the tricky question Razer Raiju Ultimate finds itself needing to answer when appealing to the PS4 crowd.
