Razer Raiju Ultimate (2019) - Wireless and Wired Gaming Controller for PS4 & PC (Mecha Tactile Action Buttons, Interchangeable Parts, Quick Control Panel, RGB Chroma) Black

Product Information

It targets the same hardcore market as the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 and Astro C40 and is being marketed as the ultimate weapon for budding esports athletes and hardcore PS4 competitive gamers.

There are some issues using the Raiju wirelessly, however. The Raiju Ultimate features Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connectivity. This should be okay, albeit not as good as proprietary or 2.4GHz connection like the ones seen on the Xbox Elite and Astro C4. But with prolonged gaming sessions, I regularly saw latency creep in. Unfortunately, you can’t remap inputs like the face buttons or shoulder triggers, only the Multi-Functions, at least at this moment. Additionally, you can see which firmware version your Raiju is running on the app, but you can’t update it (that requires PC access), which feels like a silly oversight.EU Declaration of Conformity for Abyssus Lite & Goliathus Mobile Construct Ed. Bundle (RZ83-0273).pdf The changes you make with the app are immediate, and you should see no delay when switching profiles or even testing out which Chroma lighting you prefer. Should you decide to lower the vibration motors on either side, the controller will vibrate automatically afterward so that you can feel exactly how it was changed. Conclusion

While very simple to pair (it only needs to be done once), actually playing games, specifically online or competitive titles, over Bluetooth can be an exercise in frustration.For a controller being marketed at esports professionals and hardcore gamers, that’s a huge issue. Thankfully, the two markets generally will always favour a safer wired connection for this reason, so it’s not a complete deal-breaker. It will be a huge annoyance for casual buyers, especially considering the controller’s hefty cost, however. Then again, at that point, you might as well just save some money and buy the feature-lite Raiju TE, or perhaps the more wirelessly competent SCUF Vantage.
