Razer Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition is getting a limited first batch of just 1,337 numbered controllers for PS5 and PC. Each unit has a unique serial number, but Razer has yet to reveal the price or when sales will start.
The new pad builds on the standard Raiju V3 Pro, with a magnesium alloy frame, a sharp-edged shell, and matte black TPU grips. At 260 grams, it packs a fair bit of hardware into a compact gamepad.
One of the more unusual details is the tinted glass touchpad. A laser-cut Razer logo sits on top, while the partly clear surface lets users see some of the angular parts beneath it.
Controls get a lot of attention here. Contactless TMR sensors handle the two thumbsticks, while six programmable function buttons give players more ways to set up their inputs. There are also two bumpers made for claw-grip play and four rear buttons that can be taken off.
On PC, Razer Synapse lets users tweak stick response, set up button maps, and adjust how triggers behave. The Razer PS mobile app offers similar control, and settings can be saved right on the pad.
For competitive PC play, HyperPolling Wireless can reach 2,000Hz. That is the stated peak rate, though Razer has not shared the matching figure for PS5.
A HyperSpeed Wireless dongle handles cable-free use on either platform. Players who prefer a wired link can use the USB-A to USB-C lead, which also charges the controller.
Razer has picked double-shot PBT for the face buttons, D-pad, and smaller controls. Their labels form part of the plastic itself, which should help them resist wear. The company also says the material helps cut greasy marks from use.
Inside the open polygon-style body, a nano coating helps keep dirt away from parts that remain visible. The design marks a decade since Razer first brought out its Raiju line in 2016.
Accessories are quite stacked as well. The box holds a leatherette case, short convex and tall concave stick caps, four spare back-button covers, and an anodized aluminum tool for making changes.
Still, a few details are missing. Battery size and run time have not been shared, and there is no firm word on which regions will get stock. Razer has not said whether 1,337 is the full production run or just the first wave.
For fans of premium gamepads, the hardware offers a mix of custom controls and unusual materials. Yet the cost remains a major unknown, making it hard to judge how this special model stacks up against the regular version.
