Razer Raion Fightpad for PS4, PS5 Fighting Game Controller: 8 Way D-Pad - Mechanical Switch Front Buttons - 3.5mm Headset Jack – Black

I play Tekken and this is perfect. The D-pad clicks when you press and let go. It gives a good confirmation feeling. The buttons are the opposite. No clicks just a smooth press. It's basically the opposite of a normal pad. This is great for fighting games in particular. Its light muchthan a normal pad. Its perfect for claw grip of course. And right now its the only fight pad that has a audio input. The one thing i think they can definitely improve on is the R2 and L2 buttons. They're designed like how you would hold it normally. However in claw grip its a little off. They should just make the R2 and L2 buttons the same as the L1 and R1 buttons. That way you can press them easier. They need to be longer not wider. I understand the problem with the d pad not having a pivot to prevent misinputs. However you can get around it by using the d pad more precisely and honestly you should learn to play more precisely. In fact this pad in general helps you play more precisely. Lastly I want to talk about the lack of analogs. Because of this you can't play any games that require them. (FPS) It would be interesting if they added them. It would reach more consumers. However even if they did, it wouldn't be as good as a normal pad with analogs. You would have to make room on this pad by moving the buttons more to the right. Width wise it would work, but this would also make the pad longer. I don't know if that would work. Maybe it can actually.....

The Razer Raion controller is a great product which I higly recommend . What I don't recommend is buying this product from this seller. The reason why I say this is because I have bought this controller in June of this year , 2 months later , controller was giving me issues, my down backward was not working like it used to be, I have reached out to Razer so they can give a replacement controller under the 1 year warranty that they have , however, sinnce this seller is not a authorize reseller , Razer will not validate your warranty. If you want this product get it from somewhere else!

The controller is quite solid. The pad is clicky and precise. However, charge characters might be tricky and very hard to play properly. Going from one direction to the opposite will can't be done reliably. Face buttons feel hollow with no resistance on the way down, but they spring back up nicely. The controller itself feels hollow, made of plastic and has very little weight to it. The feel grows on you though, as it allows you to tap those buttons fiercely and fast. The feature it has of swtiching on which side you want to have L1 and L2 is very welcomed, and also it allows you to plug it on PC. It's a good controller but I'd recommend getting it on sale or used. Starting price is too much for this build.

I usually play fighting games on either my Mad Katz SFV PS4 fightstick or the basic DS4 so I wanted to try a different option. After some research I decided to buy The Razer Raion as it had pretty great features. So when it arrived I wanted to test it for a week on 5 different fighting games. Street Fighter V, Mortal Kombat 11, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Tekken 7, and Soul Caliber VI. The results were definitely mixed. This pad is great for games like SCVI and Tekken 7. Ok For SFV and MvC3 but terrible for MK11. The problems for me mostly come from the D-pad for 2D fighting games(which I play mostly). My input are just way and the dpad is super sensitive. While my results for 3D fighter are better than ever. The build quality is top notch, the buttons are big and clicky with a nice matte finish to them. It's a wired controller so no input lag and the cord is very long as well. If you like Tekken or Soul Calibur definitely try it out. As for Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat I'd try with caution.

The best fight pad ever!! I've had the Power A fightpad, Hori fight commander. None of them come close to this one Alot of people are basing there reviews from a youtuber I will be uploading my video here on Amazon soon. This controller is meant to be used with a light touch and not to be heavy handed. Unlike The power A fight pad where you do have to press the face buttons with force way more so than you would on the ps4 controller which is crazy. on this controller however feels like I'm playing an arcadestick This goes for the D-pad as well The buttons are the lightest buttons I have ever felt on a controller period! It reminds me of hori hayabusa buttons The D-pad gives you that tactile response like an arcadestick would so you HEAR the inputs you doing Plus YOU can do zangiefs 360 motion on this controller. Because again this controller is meant to be sensitive. Light to the touch. The bumpers are sensitive not like the way the face buttons are but still pretty good and L2 and R2 are NOT triggers they are sensitive just like the the L1 and R1 buttons are. I see alot of youtube videos where people take the controller and slap the buttons and go yeah they feel great but dont really get in there and really tell you what they actually FEEL like in detail. Please dont shy away from this controller This controller is a must buy!!

IT DOESN'T VIBRATES!! Overall the gamepad is awesome, buttons, pad, triggers, everything, except that IT DOESN'T HAVE VIBRATION FUNCTION!, if your gonna pay $100 bucks for a gamepad at least it should vibrate, I'm sending mine back if they fix that I'll gladly repurchase it meanwhile it's shame they ruined such a fine gamepad.

Was a good pad for a few months. But it deteriorated quickly after i started using it exclusively. The switches eventually started randomly giving ghost inputs, random up inputs, or face button inputs. They also became slow enough to rebound that double taps became difficult or too slow and "negative edge" inputs would happen when i would not want them to (some fighting games allow an input to count when the button is released as well as when it is pressed, this is negative edge). The dpad also seemed to become less responsive over time, diagonals not registering, or it wouldn't release a direction fast enough giving random diagonals. Also i have big hands so i ran into the issue of routinely hitting extra buttons with the edge of my finger or my left thumb tapping the edge of the touchpad button causing the game to pause. This wont be an issue for everyone. Really wanted to like this pad, 6 face buttons and a dpad that feels crisp is hard to find. Especially since Hori retired the FC4. Not to mention shoulder buttons that arent triggers with long travel (like regular ps or xbox controllers, not great for fighting games). It had everything i wanted except for longevity. Im not interested in buying a new one every 6 months.

This is the best fighting game pad Ive ever had. Turns your thumb into an arcade stick. Took a little getting used to since youre not supposed to push downward on the DPad like you normally would. With this one you have to rest your thumbprint on the center. You move it across in whichever direction, like you would with a fightstick. So quick, so responsive, and the clicking feedback makes combos a breeze. Highly recommend (Tekken player). Quite loud though. Cant talk on the phone while playing without the other person hearing the clickity clack. I really hope Razer makes a PS5 game supported version of this.

Ok..two new controllers come out this one and one from power A bought both of them..and this may be the supiror one but..150$ after taxes and no removble breaded cable? This is my only problem with it

I have been using this controller for around a week at the time of writing. I play SFV on the PC. The face buttons feel fantastic. You will probably like the "light" feel if you like the feel of sanwa buttons. But the face buttons are the only good thing about this controller. The D-pad in my opinion, is terribly designed. What many other users have highlighted is true, you have to play this with a very light touch, with the tip of your thumb rolling almost to the edges to actuate all 8 directions properly. You have to be careful not to press down into the middle or you may mess up you inputs. The problem is that in the heat of a match, it's very easy to roll your thumb around the D-pad quickly with a heavy touch. Even without that situation, it is still too easy to accidentally press down into the center of the D-pad. Take for example, I use Guile. After a flash kick, I would roll my thumb back into a down-back position. But, I have incidences where Guile would walk backwards as if I were holding back, or he would stand there in neutral position. I attribute this to holding the D-pad a little too close to the center, thus causing more than 2 switches to actuate. However, I don't get missed inputs of this nature when I use the Hori Fighting Commander or 8Bitdo M30. There is also quite a bit of throw between the Up/Down and Left/Right directions. This could mess potentially mess up with your timings. I don't see it as a matter of adjusting your play style. I see it as a design flaw. You don't want to be adjusting so much and thinking about how you use the D-pad in a match. The Hori Fighting Commander and 8Bitdo M30 are much better options, especially after considering the price.

El empaque es elegante, cada detalle bien trabajado, su funcionamiento es bueno hasta ahora, tengo poco usandolo y llego rapido antes de lo previsto, sin duda lo recomiendo.

if the controller biffs it i'll totally change my review, but over all not bad. It has some personality defects other fightpads have had, but for 8way it's really not that bad. I think some people tend to do most of their inputs from the center of the D-Pad, but I usually run my thumb along the edge of the D-Pad, so this works well for me. The controller has a good responsive feel, so you know when you're hitting your inputs. The DPad is definitely different in that it it's more like each directional is it's own individual button. Each 8way direction "clicks" as you push down. I like the hit confirmation, but I hate how clicky-loud it can get. Wish there were more of a feel difference between the face L1-L2 buttons and the standard four. I don't like how glossy the R and L buttons are either, as they feel a bit slippery. I might lightly sand the tops of mine to negate that, or put some kind of matte paint down on it. Personally wish the DPad sat even like half an inch lower on the controller, but that's personal preference. I also don't like how thick the controller is. For feel, the Hori and the Fusion are my favourite and would love something that sits right in the middle of those two. Not sure this controller was really worth over $100 but it's working so far for me. It's accurate enough. It must have some serious QC issues if the bad reviews are to be believed.

I'm a heavy Street Fighter player and got this to replace my 3 y.o. battered Hori Fighting Commander. Loved the Hori but I HATE the turbo button. It's SOOOOOOO intrusive... You can't help but hit the turbo by mistake on the Hori by virtue of where it's located! And the turbo button "is so good", it turboes ANY key you hit right after and that includes directional buttons.... I literally bit the turbo button off the Hori after losing enough online games because of it (and I'm a very calm person in general)... And what's the big idea with turbo?? Not allowed in tourneys, have you heard Hori??... So I thought this Razer would be the best replacement after the Hori got mangled naturally after playing 1000s of hours over 3 years... Well it has issues... The d-pad is mechanical and taunted as such... A good idea in my opinion... In theory, that's a more precise d-pad than the regular plasma pad... But here's a horrible idea juxtaposed right upon it: there is no fulcrum in the middle of the d-pad!!!! Whaaaaat?? The result is that if you jump and then you block down immediately as you reach the floor (which is one of the most common scenarios of fighters), the Razer will not allow you to block down!!!!! Because of the lack of a fulcrum, the pad thinks you're pressing up and down at the same time!! Second problem: the fire buttons have ZERO haptic feedback! So you lose intuition of where your right-hand fingers are hitting! Third problem: See how ugly it looks in the picture? Well it's just as non-ergonomic and uncomfortable to hold!! HORRIBLE controller.... And the most expensive one!!! Get something else... This is garbage.
