The Razer Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition is a PlayStation 5 controller with a magnesium alloy exoskeleton and an open polygonal top and back plate, limited to an initial release of 1,337 individually serialized units.
Razer describes the controller as its most ambitious officially licensed PlayStation 5 controller to date. A nano coating covers the exposed internals under the shell, the grips are matte black textured TPU, and the touchpad is semi-transparent laser-etched glass marked with the Razer logo. Buttons are molded in double-shot PBT with tone-on-tone icons, which Razer says keeps the legends from fading. Razer chose magnesium for its strength-to-weight ratio and for how well it holds the fine curves of the shell, and says the Signature Edition label is reserved for designs that clear an internal standard on materials, finish and tolerances.
The Signature Edition weighs 260 g, 2 g more than the 258 g standard Raiju V3 Pro. Razer sells that model from $219.99 in the US. It rates the standard pad at up to 36 hours of battery life, a 250 Hz wireless polling rate on PS5 and 2,000 Hz on PC over a wired connection. For the Signature Edition, Razer cites up to 2,000 Hz polling with HyperPolling Wireless on PC.
Razer says the Signature Edition will be available only through Razer.com and select RazerStore locations and has not published its price, battery life or PS5 polling rate.
The controller has a symmetrical thumbstick layout with contactless TMR sensors, six mappable multi-function buttons, two claw-grip bumpers and four mouse-click back buttons. Buttons, stick sensitivity and trigger response can be changed in Razer Synapse or the Razer PS mobile app, and the controller stores custom profiles onboard.
The box holds a leatherette carrying case, two extra thumbstick caps (a short convex one for speed, a tall concave one for precision), four swappable back button covers with an anodized aluminum removal tool, a HyperSpeed wireless dongle and a USB-A to USB-C cable. Razer adds that PC compatibility is not tested or endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
