Razer's new DualSense Edge-style PS5 controller has TMR sticks

"Razer is launching the Raiju V3 Pro, a $219.99 wireless controller made for the PlayStation 5 and PC. It's an alternative to Sony's $199.99 DualSense Edge, which it shares many traits in common with, like adjustable trigger pull distances, swappable rear paddles, extra stick nubs, and a hard carrying case. Plus, it comes with a 2-meter-long USB-C cable that lodges snugly into its charging port to make it better suited for unpredictable tournament play."

"However, the Raiju V3 Pro is the superior controller by one very important criterion (and a few others below, depending on taste): TMR joysticks. They are resistant to developing stick drift, and they draw less power from the battery when in use. By comparison, Sony's high-end controller uses ALPS stick modules that are $20 each to replace when they inevitably suffer from drift after extended use. Add in the cost of two stick replacements, and the DualSense Edge costs more than Razer's new controller."

Razer is launching the Raiju V3 Pro, a $219.99 wireless controller for PlayStation 5 and PC with adjustable trigger pull distances and swappable rear paddles. The controller includes a 2-meter USB-C cable that lodges snugly into its charging port for tournament use. It lacks adaptive triggers, rumble, and native access to Sony's DualSense Edge customization software on PS5, and it connects via a 2.4GHz USB-A dongle. The Raiju V3 Pro uses TMR joysticks that resist stick drift and draw less battery power, offering lower long-term maintenance costs than ALPS-equipped alternatives. Additional design elements include bulkier grips, an eight-way D-pad, PBT mecha-tactile face buttons, and rear paddle caps.
