Razer unveils the Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition PS5 controller
It sure is pretty and will likely be expensive.
Razer has unveiled the Razer Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition controller, a high-end gamepad designed for PlayStation 5 consoles. This stunning controller features an open-shell design that allows for visibility into its inner workings. The controller boasts a black exoskeleton made from magnesium alloy, with a nano-coated interior to prevent debris buildup. Even the touchpad is semi-transparent, crafted from laser-etched glass.
Weighing just 260 grams, the Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition is lighter than the standard DualSense controller. It boasts a contactless TMR thumbstick for enhanced precision in aiming. The controller also includes six mappable buttons, two of which are claw-grip bumpers, and four mouse-click back buttons. These buttons can be customized with hotkeys and other functions. The buttons themselves are made from durable PBT plastic, a rigid and robust material.
Despite its premium features, the Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition is compatible with other devices. It supports up to a 2,000Hz HyperPolling wireless rate, delivering 2,000 data transmissions per second. The controller will come in a collector's edition package, complete with a leatherette carrying case, alternate thumbstick caps, back button covers, a wireless dongle, and tools for part replacement.
Only 1,337 units of this exclusive controller will be produced, adding to its exclusivity. While Razer has not released a price, it's clear that this controller will be a costly addition.
