Well right now i dont have the links for the v1.03, whats loaded inside is the v1.01, if i happen to somehow get the links for it then be sure i will share my experience with it

This is TE firmware.

Agree, I can't imagine what can be programmatically fixed on firmware code that is fixing by blowing on the stick... It is definitely some hardware root cause.

as a programmer who have written code for hardware, it could be that after pressing the analog sticks down which is registered as pressing a button all variables that may have gotten out of memory may get their initial value again. Blowing might have not got anything to do with it and tbh i dont think it does, if it did it would have to be some cooling down of a part. Also see it this way, it doesnt have an external sensor like an eye or a lazer or something so dust cant really affect it, if we open our pc's right now do u know how much dust we will find? And lets say that it was dust, which wasnt, dont u think it would have been gone by now?

So I upgraded to 1.02 and blew air in the joysticks and almost have no issues anymore. I play on cable btw.

Omg i loveeee u, you saved my life i was really desperate

u r right blowing normally doesn’t work i tried it before, but when I really blow hard like u said it’s working 100%
“I didn’t go hard pulling and pushing the stick i think that won’t solve the problem cuz i was doing it before and nothing happened.
just pulling and pushing the stick gently while blowing hard like HARD HARD

it makes sense now considering the problem came from no where after two months of use


Thank u for sharing this with us

ofc it will return, blowing air has nothing to do with it, its propably pressing the stick as a button that changes something. The motherboard of our pc is propably full of dust, apart from overheating faster it doesnt change anything else. Plus no way there was dust in it anyways, we would have seen it coming out when blowing. I tried for 2 days to not blow but only press it inside and ofc its working, shows that blowing inside as expected didnt play any part. did the "dust" make the v1.01 had huge delay when wireless? did the dust prevent multiple ultimate controllers from connecting while wireless to the ps4? did the dust prevents hair trigger mode from working in some games? lets be serious here, its the software. I tried blowing just for the heck of it the first day and drift still happened.

Yeah i know. Thing that helps for me is resetting the controller via the razer app the next day. But that should 't be necessary for a € 200 controller. I just cant believe that razer is trying to have the controller rma-ed for new users. If they just would be honest about it. Instead of giving people the default answer "You need to rma it". They ALL have they same problems. Read stories about people who returned their raiju ultimate controller up to 6 times, and still having the exact same problems lol. Like you said, it's the software, not the hardware.

Yep, people dont understand that the controller wasnt stick drifting all that often with 1.02 firmware anyways, it was an improvement, lets say the razer ultimate drifts like 10 times per 2-3 hours, if everytime it does u press and blow inside it just makes u feel better by thinking u can do something about, its an exclusively mental placebo.

One of those people is me 😠 I had 2 raiju's and 3 raiju ultimates all of them had lag input and stick drift. I srsly cant wait till the c40 astro releases.

A really cool mod (not gonna mention his name cuz people will propably bombard him with DMs) told me that the v1.03 update is directed towards bluetooth fixes, either the 1.04 will have solved it entirely or would have eliminated most of it and the v1.05 will do the trick. Thats what people from the dev team told him. Saying that tho it doesnt guarantee anything done within a certain period of time. Im in Europe, heard the Astro C40 gets released around March in the US, so i guess it will take longer to debut in Europe. I have the feeling till then this controller would have been fixed.

And another thing, if we're gonna buy the raiju then the raiju ultimate, then the astro C40 then why not go to PC gaming? Seriously i mean it! The best Logitech mouse is around 160-180 euro, a very good gaming keyboard is around our ultimate price. Just with the nacon rev pro 2 and this ultimate i could have bought a gaming mouse and a gaming keyboard, both top shelf and they would have lasted for many years. Now add the old raiju and the new astro C40 and lets say someone bought/buys both when they first came out, thats a 144hz monitor right there. I used the warranty on my previous controllers, when they came back to the store inside their box i would exchange them for the newest one and pay the difference money wise. Sure that saved me lots of money but i have YET to find a single PS4 so called pro controller that can last a damn year and not showcase a numerous list of problems.

Meanwhile a friend has the xbox and has bought the microsoft pro controller or whats it called for 140 euro and its been working like a beast for more or less 2 years. This is Sony's fault. If they could make a proper pro controller and release it, none of this would have happened.

Well, the reason i pass on the astro is because it needs a transmitter. Has no Bluetooth, and you wont be able to power on the ps4 using the ps home button. Im no hater in astro though. I have the astro a50 gen2 headset. Absolutely love it. But no Bluetooth and having to use another transmitter,plus the not being able to use the ps home button was a let down for me. Besides that all my usb ports are already used on my ps4 pro.

i have the astro a50 gen3 with the wireless transmitter so i guess the transmitter should propably work for both the C40 controller and the A50 headset in case i bought the C40 (or exchanged it for the ultimate), the headset is amazing, never had any problems with it. I trust Astro's quality and i want to believe that their new controller will be up to those standards but pay AGAIN 200 euro? And when it hits the stores here it will propably cost around 250 right away. And what if it showcases problems after 6 months or so? Tho since Logitech bought Astro i can trust them, at least i think. Lets hope the ultimate will be fixed long before the C40's release date so we dont have to think about that. And even then if it doesnt still its a weird choice. I mean imagiine u sell ur ultimate, buy the Astro, then a month or two later the Ultimate is completely fixed and by then ur Astro has some kind of problem, what do u do? I would throw it from the roof seriously. Nacon controllers break down every 2 to 5 months, Vantage breaks down per month, Razer's Raiju needed half a year to get fixed completely, now the Ultimate is gonna break that record. Can anyone trust another PS4 pro controller anymore? I certainly cant.

On another note, would u mind if u used the C40 wired only? And wouldnt the PS4 have a USB hub or something to fix that problem pretty cheap? I think we will all be here talking about things like that till the Ultimate finally gets fixed or we get rid of it anyways, but if the new firmware that comes out is close to the Astro's release date and hasnt fixed at least by 90% and i start reading good things everywhere for a month or two about the C40 then i seriously think im gonna switch. Still i have my doubts about another PS4 pro controller tho i have my doubts as well about the time this controller is gonna take to get fixed. And i dont know who else has this, my Ultimate connected instantly to my ps4 while wireless but the next day it couldnt connect ever again, i hear many people have that. So to address ur concern about the C40 not being wireless without a transmitter, well my Ultimate hasnt been wireless apart from 24 hours either.

and after few days of testing unfortunately i have to say that is again worse ... Controller is playable but on basic firmware i have almost not lag small drifting and now it lag persist (sometimes is noticeable )
pity

Can confirm, day 3 still going strong. Tested on Anthem vip demo. Love this controller.

Can u test also on battlefield or call of duty Bo4 (if you have a copy) ?

Filip

check the thread above

Which firmware are you running?

Interested to see others feedback on this as well.

Im running the 1.02 beta firmware.

Evs85
I’m on 1.01 from shop purchase today. Everything seems fine so far. Big of lag on bt but working well via cable.

Reluctant to go to beta as had the ultimate and made things far worse.

TE seems good so far. I blew in it before use just in case.

Hi, is the TE BT lag very obvious compare with Dualshock? thanks
