The Ultimate PS4 Pro Controller Will Cost You a Pretty Penny

Maybe if you say it enough they will finally DIY.

Not to much difference in price to the psvr. I’m sure that would give me much more gaming joy. However I won’t be getting either can’t keep up with the games I have and I love the ds4 that came with the pro

ridiculous price point. typical of razor to charge twice the amount the item is worth.

@Bliquid We reviewed the original Razer Raiju over a year ago: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2017/01/hardware_review_is_the_razer_raiju_the_ps4s_true_pro_controller

The fact you can swap out the d-pad on this one makes me think it'll be instantly better, though.

It's lacking the attractive curves of the default DS4. Bleh.

Of course it's a pretty penny, it's made by Razer.

No doubt it won't last five minutes like other Razer peripherals.

... I just want a PS4 Controller w more battery life...

Is that too much to ask for?

I've been wanting a premium PS4 controller with back buttons/paddles for a while now. All of them seems to have some flaw (the first Raiju included). Now there's a new Scuf that looks promising (when they eventually have it for sale to the UK...) and now this...
My standard dualshocks wear out pretty easily and I want the paddles since they give you an advantage online but for the price it needs to be perfect lol

I’m getting reminded of the old the Duke here, I’m not a fan of the look, it’s too fat honestly.

Still very happy with my Nacon rev pro, which is also far more reasonably priced.

Looks ace - I'll take 4

@JoeBlogs Ehhhhh, it's possible I suppose but it's all going to depend on how closely Sony stick to the PS4 blueprint. Will there be a new DualShock, etc. I imagine there'll be a new design but I assume it'll hook up just the same. So... Maybe.

But the bottom line for me is that I wouldn't pay for a controller like this in the hope that it might work.

Is the battery life longer than a DS4, and is there an off option for the touch pad light?

Seriously an improvement of the current DS4 would be nice. Improvements like longer batter life, share and option buttons raised higher for easier usage, more durable d pad, and an off option for the light is possible using the current DS4 design.

This $230 Razer controller may be better than the DS4 but how much at nearly four times the cost. Then there is how the Razer feels to hold and use compared to the DS4.

More info and reviews needed.

I have razer mouse (deathadder) and mechanical keyboard (blackwidow chroma). There's problem with the keyboards numeric key (on the 12th month, about 1 weeks before the warranty is gone), fortunately it's still under warranty so I can replace it with new keyboard. Razer doesn't have my version (the previous year version) so I have to pay about $15 for the new one. Now after 1 year my "g" key is having problem, I have to press it hard to use it.

My mouse left or right button (I forget) is unfortunately having problem too, razer won't replace it because it's not on warranty anymore (just 1 year past about 1 weeks if I remember correctly), after a couple of weeks the key suddenly working again (yay) but the middle button scrolling and clicking sometimes not working (sigh).

I really like razer mouse and keyboard design, that's why I still use them although there's problem with it, but for the price I pay for my mouse and keyboard, I expect more durability from razer, my logitech mouse and keyboard is cheaper but doesn't have this durability problems

I don't recommend spending $200+ for razer hardware.

I'd consider one if it was made by anyone besides Razer. Their pad build quality is utter garbage and their customer service is even worse. Pass.

For a bit more I'd probably grab the Scuf Vantage instead if I'm desperate for an expensive controller. Not only does it have paddles and the extra well placed buttons beside the bumper/triggers, but Razer's hardware quality control and customer service is well known to be absolute horrible. I've been burned a few times by their keyboard and mouses.

I don't really play the kind of games that would require an elite controller, but if I did, I still wouldn't pay that kind of money for one.

Sony could do a simple upgrade that they can sell for like €100 or so. With paddles and a bigger battery maybe a little more premium stuff on the sticks.

@JoeBlogs You can change it 4 times for the price. 😜

I had the Razor Raiju and it was brilliant. EXTREMELY comfy, lovely long smooth sticks (lol) and programming jump and change weapon to the additional triggers was a game changer in FPS games.

Then I dropped it from a height by accident on a hard floor and it landed flush on a stick and knackered it. Only got a refund rather than replacement as they were out of stock.

I'd happily buy this if I had full confidence it would be PS5 compatible but it is now too near end of life.

ps. I hope they release this, or the standard Raiju, on or close to the PS5 launch this time in or to get full use and value from it. It is expensive and not essential kit, but it is seriously lovely to use.

Just looks like some sort of weird Xbox 360 controller. Ridiculous price point.

I spent $150 on the X1 elite, but it also came packaged with three games. This is way, way too much for a controller on s console near the end of it's life cycle.
