First Official Look at PS4 Pro Controllers From Razer and Nacon

Even though Sony isn’t releasing their own premium controller, they’ve decided to license products from third-party companies with a great deal of expertise in this field. These creations have Sony’s official backing and should act as a seal of quality. Although, it’s going to be challenging to contend with the Xbox One Elite controller’s premium construction.

Razer Raiju

The first entry is from the renowned manufacturer Razer and their product caters towards eSports players.

Features:

• 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

The Razer Raiju will launch this holiday season and you can sign up to receive more information about it here.

Nacon Revolution

Next up is the Nacon Revolution which employs a pretty interesting design.

Features:

• 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

The Revolution Pro Controller will also be available this holiday season and you can visit the Nacon website here for more information.

Typically, third-party controllers have questionable build quality and consumers prefer to own a joypad created by Microsoft or Sony. I think the aforementioned products look decent but it’s hard to know without trying them first hand.
