Razer adds to its V3 Pro line with the Raiju V3 Pro gaming controller, a PlayStation-focused option that builds on the line’s legacy.
The Razer Raiju V3 Pro controller retains the popular form factor of the Wolverine, which is a smart move. I’ve sung the praises of the Wolverine V3 Pro and the 8K for PC iteration, which feel great in the hands and are stellar controllers right out of the box. If you prefer the Xbox experience and don’t plan on using the controller for any PC gaming, then the Wolverine V3 Pro is the way to go. However, if you plan to use the Wolverine as a PC gaming controller, then the 8K for PC offers a faster polling rate (even wirelessly). It does take out the haptics in favor of a lighter controller, so that’s also something to keep in mind. They are both great controllers, but for a lot of people, the Raiju V3 Pro is about to swoop in and command their attention.
Razer Raiju V3 Pro Comes With An Incredible PlayStation-Style Layout
Obviously, the big selling point for the Razer Raiju V3 Pro controller is the PlayStation-style layout. After controversially including an asymmetrical joystick layout with prior iterations of the Raiju, Razer is giving the Raiju V3 Pro symmetrical joysticks. Everyone has their own personal preference, but for me, the symmetrical sticks are what I prefer. I find them more precise and more comfortable.
I understand that asymmetrical joysticks tend to be more popular and are the norm for third-party controllers, but when a symmetrical option comes around, I take notice. It only sweetens the pot that I was already a big fan of everything else Razer’s V3 Pro line offers.
