Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Razer Raiju vs Nacon Revolution Pro”.
Hey, what’s up folks how’s it going. This is waj hope you guys are all doing well and in this article we’re going to explore two third-party playstation 4 controllers. The first one is the razer raiju and the second one is the nikon revolution pro we’re going to see how they kind of compare against each other and ultimately discover whether they’re worth getting compared to the traditional dualshock 4 controller. So, if you’re interested, let’s get right into it, now we’re going to start things off by talking about the razer raiju. Firstly, this is a very expensive piece of hardware.
It’S currently available in the uk and europe and roughly retails for just around the 180 usd mark, which is an absolutely insane amount for any piece of accessory hardware for the current generation consoles. That being said, the actual, build quality and fit, and finish of the controller, is actually really nice. The polycarbonate construction feels very solid in the hand. There’S lots of rubber all the way around. To give you a very secure feel in the hand and ergonomically. It feels very similar to the xbox one elite controller.
Now you can see that the arrangements on the thumbsticks is very similar to the dual shock 4. So for people migrating from the standard controller, it’s very easy to get adjusted and accustomed to the configuration that the ride you present now you’ll see that the thumbsticks themselves are covered with removable rubber pads and the rubber pads themselves. Give you a nice secure, grip to the thumb, sticks and, plus you have the option to get new ones as they become worn out or dirty. Now, the overall feel and tracking performance of the thumbsticks in game feel really nice and precise. Everything feels a little bit more sensitive than the standard dual shock 4 controller, which could be critical for a lot of competitive first-person shooters now, since razer makes a lot of pc, mechanical keyboards you’ll actually feel a very similar sensation when hitting the face buttons and the D-Pads everything has a very nice clicky mechanical feel.
Every button has a very shallow actuation point, which could be great for some fast-paced scammers, but could be annoying for others used to a little bit more button travel. The d-pad on the raiju is actually very similar. Looking to the dual shock 4d pad, but it’s actually a little bit smaller. The individual directional buttons are a little bit more spaced out and the whole thing is a little bit more concaved into the controller body which may not be ideal for a lot of people. That play a lot of fighting games that need a large, pronounced d-pad.
Now, probably one of the greatest features of the raiju definitely has to be the triggers. They actually have a hair trigger mode where it can actually decrease the range of motion from 18 degrees to five, so this could be used as like a hair trigger mode for rapid firing, sequences in first person, shooter games again a design for competitive players out there And just the overall spring mechanical feel of the triggers themselves. I feel very tactile and give you a great sensation when pressing and depressing them. I would definitely say if you like, the triggers on the xbox one elite controller, then this is right up your alley at the back, you’ll find four aluminum trigger buttons, which could be used to recreate certain macro commands or to remap a general primary commands on the Controller and at the bottom of the control you’ll find that there’s an extra control panel for those individual custom button settings as well as headset controls for mute and volume.
Now some of the features that the netcon revolution pro and the raiju share is the fact that they’re, both wired controllers, they both come with a detachable usb connection. There is no wireless component, there is no speakers and no light bars, so they’re not compatible with the playstation vr, and this is all in the gear of making sure that you have the most minimal amount of latency, and even the wireless is pretty good. These days, you still can’t beat an old-fashioned cable, and this is still what uh competitive gamers want to have now, one of the things the nikon revolution pro has going, for it is certainly price. It costs about half as much as the raiju still a little bit more than the dual shock for, and you can see by the arrangements of the thumb sticks and the d-pad ergonomically.
It actually feels very similar to the original xbox 360 controller, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but may take a little bit of time to get accustomed to if you’re, coming from a playstation controller. That always has the thumbsticks in the same plane. Now, in terms of the build of the revolution pro controller, it definitely doesn’t feel cheap, very much on par with the original ps4 controller, but doesn’t feel as premium as the raiju or something like the xbox one elite controller, which provide a lot more rubber padding and A little bit more secure feeling in the hand. That being said, there are two weight cavities on the left and right side of the device which allows you to change the weight, distribution and overall weight of the controller, which certainly could be handy for people that, like a heavier controller, now the face buttons on the Right side of the device are a jumbo size and the d-pad, although the design may not be optimal, for some people, is certainly larger than the stock ps4 controller and indeed the one that comes on the raiju. The thumbsticks themselves are raised uh by a couple of millimeters compared to the stock ps4 controller, which adds a level of precision which is nice, and probably one of the coolest features of this controller. Is that there’s a level of customization? That’S not found on the rise? You, since you can actually use a piece of software for your pc to change the dynamics of the thumbsticks by modifying at the strength curve and dead zones. Furthermore, you can adjust the sensitivity of the triggers, as well as the intensity of the vibration built into the controller, and you can set up different macro sequences as well as remapping different button controls to the four custom buttons located at the back of the controller and Plus you have four individual presets built into the controller, so that way, when you hook it up to your ps4, you can toggle between all these different settings.
Now. In summary, i would say that the revolution pro controller doesn’t feel as nice as the ryder from an ergonomic and build a standpoint, and the triggers are definitely not as nice as the raiju, but certainly considering the price tag. It definitely gives the raiju a good run for its money and uh there’s. Definitely some inherent value in all the customization features that it has built in.
But besides that, i would generally say that both controllers definitely have something interesting to offer for the competitive first-person shooter gamer they’re, not really designed for role-playing games or anything like that. I think specifically, if you’re competitive a first-person shooter uh that games on the ps4. You probably want to look into these two controllers if you’re looking to kind of bring your game up to the next level, but really on that guys and that’s really it.
I definitely love to hear your thoughts. Generally speaking, i think there’s nothing wrong with the standard. Playstation. 4 controller. It’S an absolutely fantastic piece of hardware, but if you’re looking for the next step, definitely check these two controllers out. Meanwhile, if you like this video, please give us a thumbs up.
