Razer Raiju Mobile: Ergonomic Multi-Function Button Layout - Hair Trigger Mode - Adjustable Phone Mount - Mobile Gaming Controller for Android

Over the last few months, I have tried many different gaming controllers to use with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. I have used the device for a month now and this thing still impresses me! The mount is very sturdy and Razer had the forethought of putting groves in the grips so it doesn't clamp down the volume rocker or power buttons on either side of your phone! Many manufacters overlook this or get around it by gripping the phone on the sides, making the charging port inaccessible. Because of this, you can still plug in a USB-C cable for wired connection, but I have not had to use it due to the ultra-low input latency! It performs like a Nintendo Switch Pro controller in this regard. I have only had the controller become inresponsive twice. I turned it off and back on and haven't seen it since the first week. I can't tell if the compantion app from Razer pushed an update or not, but either way, this thing is fantastic! The controller is very comfortable to use with pretty solid anti-slip grips around the handles. The hair-trigger locks are fantastic. I would have rather seen the underside buttons re-designed to avoid accidental clicks when picking up the controller, but that is a very small issue. Some games don't recognize the middle triggers or rear trigger buttons as separate buttons, but it was nice to repurpose them using the mobile app to control the volume. The navigation buttons at the bottom come in very handy for using the phone from the home screen as well! The only thing missing is a carrying case or a collapsable stand on the rear. For the asking price, I think these features should have been included, but I will say the grip is more important, considering the sturdy construction and ability to tilt forward to combat any light glare. I could go on and on about this controller, but I will close by saying you will not be sorry about this purchase! I was not paid for this review and purchased the device with my own money.

Tl;dr highly recommend, would buy again. Before this controller I was using a Scuf and with in the first couple months I had broken a pad, the hair trigger wouldn’t stay in place and now my L3 won’t work right and my dpad sometimes works and my L1 doesn’t work all the time. Now I have the Razor Raiju and this thing feels sturdy! It’s bigger than a PS4 controller, I thought i wouldn’t like it but it feels so right in my hands. The mapping is super easy, the hair trigger controls are perfect. I’m using all 4 mapping triggers, again I didn’t think I’d like it, worried the top triggers would be to much of a cluster... Nope! They are placed perfectly and allows me to never Take my thumbs off the sticks just have to get used to not needing to hit the buttons, even though I love the crisp click they make! Seriously you’ll know what I’m talking about when you get this beaut! Ps it’s not a loud clicking Incase your worried about that. So far this hasn’t let me down! Can’t speak highly enough about it.

First off I have to say that the images used in the advertisement are for a different model of Raiju controller. The Mobile version of the controller does not have the PlayStation buttons. I want to get the biggest cons of this device out first. The biggest design flaw of this controller is that it does not have a separate flow through USB port. A single USB port means that you have to use Bluetooth mode while your controller or your phone, is charging. Serious gamers know that Bluetooth can cause lag during play. There is also the problem that many Android games are not controller compatible. That's not the fault of Razer, but it's a consideration for buying. You can't just hook it up and play EVERY game that you want to. The additional buttons on the back. Some controllers are hard to reach the buttons. This one, has one set of the buttons right there where your fingers sit, which makes them too easy to tap them accidentally. Fortunately, you don't HAVE to use those two buttons, and they are OFF by default. Condition- Wow. It's difficult to believe that this is a used controller. The ONLY indication the unit I received was used, was a minor bit of scuffing inside the right side stick. Everything else about the unit I received is PRISTINE. TOP NOTCH. For a non-Hall Effect controller, this is definitely worth the 18-30 dollars that these now sell for. If they were still 170 dollars like at time of release, I'd say no, due to the single USB port, and not having swappable sticks. Buttons- Every button on this controller feels like a mouse click. Very short throw, and all of them are very clicky, and responsive. The buttons on the back are a bit of duller sounding, but work every bit as well as the rest of the buttons. The side bumpers are the same. In fact, in shooter games, I can shoot MUCH FASTER remapping the control to fire from the bumper button than from the trigger. As a Wolverine Ultimate owner the layout of the main buttons is familiar to me, and I have no problems using any of them. The third buttons along the top are no problem, since I'm used to the grip style of a Razer controller. The sticks- The sticks are nice. I wish I could swap the left stick for a long stick since I play shooter games. But it's not to be expected from a 30 dollar controller. Some games use the sticks as an additional button. The press for that is short, which is nice. But not as tactile, it gives very little feedback. Movement of the sticks is smooth and quick. And Razer offers Android app that allows you to tune the travel for your needs, which is really nice. Phone Grip- This is really going to depend on your phone case. With no case or a thin, non-bulky case, the clamp holds really well. But the extra weight REALLY makes the controller forward-heavy. That's gonna happen with any controller with a phone mounted to the front of it though. All said, I love not putting the wear and tear on my 80 dollar Wolverine, using a much more cost effective, very familiar product. One that can bounce between PC and android. Having the control buttons along the bottom, when I'm used to having different controls down there, is a bit awkward still, but I will learn it.

I recently purchased the Razer Raiju Controller to use with my Samsung Tablet and I have to say I am overall pleased with the product. The controller itself is well built and sturdy, giving you the confidence that it'll last through multiple gaming sessions. Additionally, when it is working properly, the controller performs incredibly well. Unfortunately, that's not as often as I'd like. The major issue that I'm having is with the Bluetooth connection. It seems to randomly disconnect while I'm playing, which can be a major inconvenience. Additionally, the battery life is awful. It dies after only a few hours of gaming, so I'm constantly having to stop and recharge it. When it works, the Razer Raiju Controller is great, but it's too unreliable to give it a higher rating. While I can still recommend it to others, I'd definitely suggest considering other options with better Bluetooth connections and battery life.

Playable with iphone + pc. Feels premium. Solid prduct for just $20

No doubt about it that the build quality is excellent for this controller. Rubberized grips, mechanical buttons, fits great in the hand, steel reinforced device holder, etc. With that said, this device was returned shortly after trying it for a few hours. As great as the controller is, it suffers from one fundamental flaw that makes gaming on this too uncomfortable - it’s entirely too top heavy when you it’s holding a device. The device holder was designed in such a way where it extends outward, and you place the device in the extended grip. When you have the controller in your hand with a device, you’ll feel the weight and pressure lean into your fingers, affecting your grip and natural way to press the buttons. It feels like you’re always fighting the controller. Compare that to the Power A Xbox controller and device holder, which has two points to adjust, so that it can hold your device almost above the controller and doesn’t feel top heavy. To help illustrate - with the Raiju, if you place the controller on a table with it holding a device, the whole thing will topple over. With the Power A, the controller and device will sit on the table just fine. Hope this helps!

I was relieved when I couldn't get it to work with non-steam games, because it meant I could return it. The battery was weird. It went from 80% to empty in about 20 minutes. I don't know if that was a one time event, because I'm not going to do more testing on that, since it doesn't work anyway. The buttons on the bottom are way too easy to press. Even a little of the weight of the controller will set them off, so if you shift the controller's weight they'll go off. This would only be worse if you were using it with your phone, since it would add weight to the thing. I found my wrists were getting tired within 20 minutes because of the way I had to hold the controller, to keep these buttons from going off. I doubt I could ever get used to them, but we'll never know. The buttons on the back are also too easy to press by accident. Annoyingly, you can only reprogram the buttons by connecting it to your phone. There are 4 buttons at the bottom. The leftmost is back, and is reprogrammable. The rightmost is start, and is reprogrammable. The middle two are fixed. I haven't found out what the middle left does. The middle right button brings up google chrome for no reason. Misclick it at the wrong time, and it could cost you a game. The good: you can map volume+ and volume- to two of the buttons. It didn't catch fire.

About me...former Xbox One user that had both the Xbox One Elite and Razer Wolverine Ultimate controllers. I like the dualshock 4 but really wanted a pro style controller for my PS4 Pro. I bought a Scuf Impact as I liked its 360 controller shape and paddles. Ended up not using 2 of the 4 paddles though as they are uncomfortable to hit. Also after 3 months of use both sticks are severely worn which is typical of Scuf it seems. Enter the Raiju and just opening the package you can sense the quality. Its nicely built and feels great in hand with one exception. Foe me the lower 2 additional buttons are just in a bad spot. Too uncomfortable but very easily removable. With those gone, I love the controller. Super easy to map the top 2 additional buttons. Played some Fortnite and instantly performed better in matches. Was very accurate with my shots due to the nice analog sticks and trigger stops. Also hair trigger mode helps. The mechanical face buttons are super responsive as well. Also being a wired controller there was no input lag as everything just seemed to work instantly.

Unfortunately the battery / power doesn't work. It simply won't charge, which means you can only use it when plugged in to power. While the bluetooth works when plugged in to power, its inability to hold a charge means this functionality is basically useless. I can't in good conscience recommend this controller because of it. Even the replacement one I ordered has the same issue. Which is a shame, because the controls work beautifully - excellent build quality, and priced reasonably.

Used it for years with 0 stick drift, the only problem is the size and weight of the controller which is not an issue for for me

An sich ist das Gerät toll. Man sieht das Qualität während das Spielen. Das Pad ist schnell, Knöpfe sind auch ohne lag und lassen sich gerne getippt. Allerdings gab ein Trennung-Problem! Nach ich das Pad mit meinem Tablett verbindet habe (Alles war relativ smooth) Geht der Pad einfach manchmal weg und schaltet sich aus!! Also, du spielst und auf einmal bist du nicht mehr da und kannst du deinen Charakter nicht mehr kontrollieren!! Du denkst dein Kontrollerakku ist leer gegangen, aber es ist nicht. Du must einfach das Gerät wieder einschalten!!! Manchmal ist das wirklich ärgerlich. Ohne dieses Problem, hätte ich gerne 5 Stars gegeben.

This is a joke. On the listing it says clearly for PlayStation 4. Upon getting I could see clearly on the box it said mobile controller. I connected to PS and PS told me it doesn't support. WHY. I have had 3 razor controllers in past few years. All broke within warranty time. I shall be staying away from razor and advise others to do so. They are excellent when they work. Always button damage, stops working, falls out...etc. I also now waiting 4 days for it to get back to Amazon to get refund. I get next day but a return takes 4-7 days. Other products refund straight away but razor controllers always a issue.

I love this controller. It has a healthy amount of extra buttons. 2 triggers and 2 paddles. It is really comfortable and works great both wired and wireless. It even works wired through my HDMI hub making my phone a full TV console! Comfortable and works perfect for drone piloting too! Best of all even works with my PC. The apps from Razer make it perfectly customizable.
