Sony have put out an update on their blog about two new licensed pro controllers, the Razer Raiju and Nacon Revolution. Both look kind of odd, very obviously third party and neither seem to offer the customization of the Xbox One Pro controller but perhaps people will enjoy the extra triggers and features. Both are out this holiday season.
Razers offerings are
- Two extra bumpers and two extra detachable triggers
- Built-in control panel on the front of the controller
- Trigger-stop switches and hair trigger mode for ultra-fast trigger responses
- Two custom profiles which you can instantly switch between and modify
- 3.5mm headset jack and dedicated headset volume and mic mute controls
- Detachable analog stick rubber caps which provide extra grip during intense gaming sessions
- Compatibility with all PS4 systems via the braided 3m-long USB cable – detachable for easy storage
And Nacon (who I've never heard of before)
- 46° amplitude dual analogue sticks, enhanced with innovative firmware for advanced eSports accuracy and reach
- Four extra shortcut buttons
- Eight-way directional pad
- Four custom profiles – all configurable via the companion PC application, enabling players to: re-map buttons, assign macros to the four shortcut controls and adjust analog and trigger sensitivity
- Two internal compartments with six additional weights – for a tailored balance and feel
- Compatibility with all PS4 systems via the 3m-long secure connection USB cable – detachable for easy storage
Boy that first bullet point for the Nacon controller was really pulled from the buzzword bucket. Also, while it's cool to see it'll apparently work on PC, doesn't it seem dumb to have custom profiles that you can configure but only via a PC? Come on guys, get an app working for that.
I doubt either of these would be for me, though I wouldn't mind a controller with those paddle triggers at the back.
