Razer Raiju Ultimate Review

Closer Look
The Raiju Ultimate shares the same basic shape as the Dualshock 4 controller but with different spacing and materials, the functions of each buttons are fairly self-explanatory at this point, save for the bottom row which we’ll later explain. One stand-out feature is the overall size of the controller, rivalling the Xbox One controller more than the PS4 Dualshock 4 in size.



On the reverse of the Raiju is a pair of large paddles which can be assigned the function of any other buttons on the pad, such as swapping weapons in your favourite shooter, or changing gears in a racing game. Razer have designed these to reside exactly where your fingers will naturally sit when holding the pad.

In the centre of the product label is a three-way toggle switch, allowing you to connect this to your PS4 and PC through Bluetooth or use the wired connection.

Just above the label are a pair of toggles, one on each side, when locked into position, these limit the distance that the two main triggers (R2 and L2) need to be depressed before the activate, giving you a slight competitive edge in fast paced shooters.



The top end of the controller also receives a pampering, with Razer adding an M1 and M2 key, which are just within reach of a “standard” sized hand, though we did find that they weren’t particularly “handy” for the typical female hand.



The Micro-USB slot is housed in the dead-centre, reasonably deep within the controller to help prevent damage to the port from the cable wiggling around.
