Review on Razer Raion Fightpad: PS4, PS5 Fighting Game Controller with 8-Way D-Pad, Mechanical Switch Front Buttons, Headset Jack - Black by Patrick Matin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

**READ UPDATE** A few days not as bad as I thought

**UPDATE** First review will be kept below. After a few days it seems that the diagonals on the dpad are not as responsive as when I received them. This is very disappointing as I liked the pad so much. Looks like I'll stick with the Stick or DS4. This pad definitely needs some work but I think with the right tweaks it could be a really great pad but for now it seems like it barely lasted me a few days. **ORIGINAL REVIEW** I've been playing around with this for a few days. To be honest, it's not as bad as some people have made it out to be. I really think Razer should add a twist to the D-Pad in the makeover whenever they decide to do so. The touchpad and headphone jack seem like pretty cool additions. The d-pad presses all microswitches when you press the center of the d-pad, as NihongoGamer says (I recommend watching his video if in doubt). I've played SFV and Tekken and haven't had much of a problem with them as my thumb is off center when playing. The buttons are fine, so far we haven't had any particular problems with them. Overall I think this is a pretty solid rug that could use some improvement to make this rug a 5 star product. I will update the review if there are any problems in the next few days.

Pros
  • 8-position D-pad for precise diagonal input: The soft and extremely responsive Razer mechanical tactile 8-position D-pad allows for precise combos in Competitive Fighting Games
Cons
  • Incredible Piggy Bank Prize
