Razer raiju ultimate review in Spanish (full analysis)

Whether you are an Xbox One or PlayStation 4 player, the controller you play with is one of the biggest determinants of the experience you are going to achieve. It is now widely accepted that an asymmetrical design is better than the traditional symmetrical one, however when it comes to Sony and the PlayStation 4 your options are quite limited. Razer Raiju Ultimate is a new controller for PS4 that is geared towards the eSports market, with interchangeable joystics, a removable D-pad, and additional buttons on the top and rear.

First of all, we thank Razer for the trust placed in ceding the product to us for analysis.

Razer Raiju Ultimate technical characteristics

Unboxing and design

The Razer Raiju Ultimate is an officially licensed product for the PS4 and that is something that is clear from the first moment, since the design of the box is based on the blue color that contrasts with the rest of the peripherals of the brand, which they are based on corporate colors, black and green. Thanks to this, there will be no doubt when identifying it as a product for the Sony console. The box presents a high quality image of the product as well as its main outstanding characteristics that we will see throughout this complete analysis.

When opening the box we find a very careful presentation, in which we find the typical Razer greeting cards. Inside the box we find a zippered case that contains the remote control inside, this will serve to store it when we are not using it so that it will be perfectly preserved. If we open this case, we find the Razer Raiju Ultimate along with its USB cable to connect it to the console, the two joystics and an interchangeable crosshead.

Finally we have the Razer Raiju Ultimate in the foreground, the first thing that strikes us about this controller is that it is considerably larger than Sony's DualShock 4 and that it has a design much more similar to the Xbox One Elite controller, This is not surprising since the Microsoft console controller is considered the most comfortable on the market.

Exchanging the joystics and the spider is very simple thanks to its magnet fixing system.

Razer Raiju Ultimate is here to offer PlayStation 4 users an experience similar to the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller. The first factor that stands out immediately is the high quality of construction. The Raiju Ultimate is manufactured with a beautiful black finish. Razer Chroma lighting adds great aesthetics, and sturdy plastic feels premium. There is even metal in the joystics, proof of its great manufacturing quality.

The Razer Raiju Ultimate features buttons and triggers that feel like the ones found on Microsoft's Xbox Elite controller, not the shallow, small buttons that come with the DualShock 4 standard. The main buttons are based on mechanical push buttons, thanks to which should offer great durability. It is like comparing a mechanical keyboard to a membrane keyboard.

Razer has included four additional programmable buttons, two on the back and two on the bottom. These buttons will come in handy in certain games, since we can assign the function of any other button to one of these four programmable ones. We also see two sliding buttons that serve to limit the travel of the triggers if we wish for a faster press.

One of the most notable additions are the buttons on the bottom of the device, which allow you to control the connections and adjust the various states. Instead of having to reprogram the controller, you just need to tap the switch to switch between available profiles, so you shouldn't have to adjust them every time you play another game. Next to these is the 3.5 mm headphone jack connector, which only works if we connect the remote with cable.

Razer Raiju Ultimate presents a companion app for iOS and Android. This allows you to wirelessly adjust the controller settings. This is one of the most important innovations, because the Raiju Ultimate features Bluetooth. This gives the Razer Raiju Ultimate a huge advantage when it comes to ease of use.

Its wireless connection to the PS4 is really simple, you just have to hold down the PS buttons and the touchpad for a few seconds to enter standby mode, we look for it from the console's bluetooth options and that's it.

Final words and conclusion about Razer Raiju Ultimate

We have rigorously tested the Razer Raiju Ultimate with a PlayStation 4 Pro and a PC. Games like Destiny 2, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Spider-Man feel great about this controller's features. Not once did we notice any unrecorded keystrokes or other mechanical problems that indicate a quality problem. Connecting the controller to both platforms was easy, and adjusting the various settings through the companion app was even easier. The only downside to the Razer Raiju Ultimate may be its size and weight, especially the latter, which is significantly higher than Sony's DualShock 4.

Regarding wireless connectivity, we have not seen any delay, the manufacturer has worked very hard to maximize this technology and make it work in the best possible way. In general, the Razer Raiju Ultimate is the best controller for PlayStation 4 owners. Its price of 199.99 euros is a significant investment, but given the great leap in quality and comfort it represents when compared to the standard DualShock 4 Many players will find it worthwhile.
