Official PlayStation partner Razer has revealed one of its most premium PS5 controllers to date, the Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition, which will launch in a limited run of just 1,337 units worldwide. Unlike most standard PS5 controllers, the new Raiju V3 Pro is made from magnesium alloy, a lightweight metal mixture.
Another distinguishing feature of the new controller is its open-air polygonal design, a first for the product line. This design not only gives the controller a distinctive look but also helps reduce its overall weight. According to Razer, the Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition weighs about 9.2 ounces, roughly the same as the standard version despite the difference in materials.
Sony offers eligible PS5 owners up to $400 for trading in their consoles and two controllers through a PlayStation app promotion.
The Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition will retail for $349.99. For those outside the US, the new PS5 controller will cost £349.99 GBP or €368.99 EUR. It will launch on November 10, "with only 1,337 individually serialized units available on a first-come, first-served basis." The bundle includes a vegan leather box, a HyperSpeed dongle, swappable thumbsticks, back button covers, an anodized aluminum torque driver, and a USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable.
For comparison, the standard Raiju V3 Pro starts at $219.99 USD, making it approximately 40% cheaper than the Signature Edition.
Although the Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition is designed for the PS5, it is also compatible with Windows 11 PCs . Thanks to the HyperSpeed dongle, it supports a polling rate of up to 2,000 Hz, allowing it to send data to a PC at high speeds and reduce input latency.
