Overview
- This week Razer launched the Prio and it is available now from the Razer Store and select retailers for $99.99/£99.99.
- The Prio folds to roughly 107×67×23 mm, weighs 101 g, and unfolds with a twist-to-open clamshell and elastic band that hides wiring to fit phones up to 7 inches.
- Razer built the controller around contactless capacitive analog thumbsticks that the company says reduce stick drift and a direct USB-C link to avoid pairing and cut input lag.
- Early hands-on reviews praise the small form factor, quiet buttons, D-pad and surprising precision for the size, while noting practical downsides such as no passthrough charging, fit issues with large camera bumps or book-style foldables, and potential discomfort for very large hands.
- Priced at $99.99, the Prio positions Razer toward extreme portability and may influence buyers weighing pocketability against cheaper or more feature-rich alternatives as Razer prepares future ultra-portable models.
