Could be so much more. A premium product with premium feel that doesn't perform at a premium level.
I have the updated and latest 1.04/10.5 RazerEurope(Imported) Model of the RaijuTE, so my review will be based on that, the previous model (1.01 or latest firmware 1.03) has a number of reported issues you can easily google. Razer does not officially sell ANY Ps4 controllers in the United States, the Official Liscense was either pulled or ran out and wasn't renewed for American sale, be very aware of this when buying, and know that if you get an imported controller, you aren't eligible for ANY warranty from Razer, warranty is for European based customers and only honored if bought from them or their authorized sellers(to my knowledge none are on eBay even if you do live in Europe, so don't say I didn't warn you.)
Now to review the actual controller, it's a mixed bag. It's by far my favorite Ps4 controller, and I own several other Razer controllers, as the comfort and control Razer brings has been unmatched for me. Feels great in the hands, the tactile clicky buttons are amazing and sound so satisfying, and it is a fantastic WIRED option. I say WIRED in all caps, because the bluetooth connection on this thing is basically garbage, (which may or may not be the fault of Sony) and I'll explain why, it's not the most important thing in the world for this controller to be wireless, as anyone serious about game performance will opt for wired, but this controllers bluetooth is quite an experience.
In bluetooth mode, the controller frequently runs into delay and latency issues, dropped inputs or even double or a rare triple inputs registered. On top of that, you lose the built in audio jack while in bluetooth, it's wired only. So I really do mean it when I say this is a wired controller, the bluetooth issues are so prevalent in gameplay it's just much simpler to run a 10ft cable to it than deal with the issues. I said this may or may not be Sony's fault, because they're dickheads and mandated all 3rd party wireless bluetooth controllers can't have latency any faster than 12ms just to make their own controllers look better, but Razer also admitted that the bluetooth connection just plain sucks on these controllers in general so I'll call it 50/50.
Speaking of cables, the included cable is only 6ft, so good luck sitting on the couch with that. I ordered a 10ft original Raiju Cable from Razer's own replacement part store for $18.99, and I reccomend anyone who buys this controller do the same for an enjoyable experience. It uses a notched custom ended microUSB cable that locks in (as shown by me dangling it by the cord, it stays in firmly!) If you opt for another micro USB cable you may have to modify it before it'll even fit.
This controller is also missing any kind of built in motion controlls(Sixaxis as Sony likes to call it) and a light bar, so immediately it can't be used at all for PsVR, and exclusion of motion controlls makes it mandatory that you keep your Dualshock4 nearby incase a game has some form of motion controls in it. In the Recently Released Persona5 Royal, there is a darts minigame that uses the motion controls and playing it is very helpful. It's mind boggling that a premium controller that retails near $200 is missing a basic feature like this that makes some games unplayable without having a Dualshock4 handy, this COULD be incompetence from Razer, or Sony could have no motion controls as part of the official Liscense agreement they had. The controller is marketed more towards competitive shooters than casual games, so I can't really fault them too much, but it is a feature that is sometimes used and it sucks to have to switch controllers.
It's good, gets the comfort and feel just right, but drops the ball and then trips over it down a flight of stairs. There's probably a better PRO styled controller out there, but this one is good enough for me for the $100 I paid.
