Overview
- Razer has launched the Prio for $99.99 and it is available on Razer’s website with a phased rollout to select retailers.
- The Prio folds to 107 × 67 × 23 mm, weighs about 101 g, and expands to clamp phones up to 7 inches for quick on-the-go use.
- Razer uses contactless capacitive analog thumbsticks to prevent mechanical wear and reduce stick drift while promising higher sensor resolution.
- The controller plugs straight into a phone via USB-C for low latency and integrates with Razer Cortex plus cloud and remote-play services such as Xbox Cloud Gaming, PS Remote Play, and Steam Link.
- Early hands-on reviews praise the Prio’s portability, build quality, and precise sticks but flag limits including no passthrough charging, fit problems with large camera islands and some foldables, possible discomfort in long sessions, and debate over whether $99 is fair against cheaper portable rivals.
