Sony announces two third-party pro controllers for PS4

While the Xbox One has had its own first party “Pro” controller for some time, the PS4 lags behind some what when it comes to offering a decent “pro” controller. That is until now as Sony has announced two officially licensed third-party “pro” controllers from Razer and Nacon.

These two controllers are aimed at hardcore and competitive gamers who want to step up their controller abilities. The Razer Raiju and the Nacon Revolution are the first officially licensed pro controllers coming to the Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe region later this year.

Razer Raiju

The Razer team’s extensive knowledge in developing eSports peripherals made them an ideal partner to create a tournament-grade controller for PS4.

Designed for conquering professional eSports tournaments, the Razer Raiju is equipped with advanced controller customisation and ergonomics. Its features include:

• Two extra bumpers and two extra detachable triggers

• Built-in control panel on the front of the controller

• Trigger-stop switches and hair trigger mode for ultra-fast trigger responses

• Two custom profiles which you can instantly switch between and modify

• 3.5mm headset jack and dedicated headset volume and mic mute controls

• Detachable analog stick rubber caps which provide extra grip during intense gaming sessions

• Compatibility with all PS4 systems via the braided 3m-long USB cable – detachable for easy storage

Nacon Revolution

Developed with the eSport player in mind, the Nacon team of industrial designers and engineers collaborated with pro-gamers to develop the Revolution Pro Controller to meet a wide range of their gameplay needs.

Thanks to this collaboration, the Revolution Pro Controller features include:

• 46° amplitude dual analogue sticks, enhanced with innovative firmware for advanced eSports accuracy and reach

• Four extra shortcut buttons

• Eight-way directional pad

• Four custom profiles – all configurable via the companion PC application, enabling players to: re-map buttons, assign macros to the four shortcut controls and adjust analog and trigger sensitivity

• Two internal compartments with six additional weights – for a tailored balance and feel

• Compatibility with all PS4 systems via the 3m-long secure connection USB cable – detachable for easy storage

“Both the Razer Raiju and the Nacon Revolution Pro controller will be available this holiday season. Moreover, they will be compatible with all PS4 models.

It’s interesting to see that the Nacon Revolution Pro controller is very similar (in terms of design) to the classical Xbox controller. Have they run out of ideas? It seems so.

Anyway, it’s better giving a try to these devices and see how they feel.”
