I’ve been using the new Raiju V3 Pro for a few weeks after pre-ordering from Razer UK. Overall it feels like a good controller (despite a bit to big and odd ergonomic decisions), but I’m having some big problems specifically when playing on PS5. Issue seem to be worse on wireless with the dongle than wired, but both still poor.
The issue: the TMR sticks feel really unresponsive/delayed. The latency is some of the worst I have ever seen. This also causes additional issues when aiming with the right stick (R3), the aim will occasionally glitch—it moves in a straight line in the direction I initially push, but continues moving even after I move the stick elsewhere. Then it suddenly snaps back to where the stick currently is. So: the aim lags behind my input; motion isn’t smooth; it jumps in straight lines; makes tracking targets basically impossible.
I have done more in-game tests and research to see if others are having the same issue and it seems they do. Monoru (ものる) a Youtuber did a test and found that while it was responsive and nice on PC (despite the sticks not being perfectly linear) he found serious latency on PS5 measured up to 75.1 on the sticks. This was the worst result he had ever gotten and it the latency certainly feels the worst of any controller I’ve owned.
From others who have complained and received a new controller it seems the issue has not been resolved. So this may be a firmware or hardware issue. It’s a shame because I see good potential (although I would have preferred the Wolverine ergonomics, the back-buttons are fantastic).
So I want to check, are anyone else experiencing similar issues, or know a fix?
The nuclear option is to get a refund and go for another controller. I’ve owned a few pro controllers that would be good contenders without this latency.
