Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Razer Raiju V3 Pro controller, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the controller regularly. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, ensuring no moisture enters openings.
• Storage: When not in use, store the controller in its included carrying case to protect it from dust, spills, and physical damage.
• Battery Care: Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the controller when the battery is low to maintain battery health.
• Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the controller to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Razer Raiju V3 Pro controller, try the following solutions:

• Connectivity Issues:

  • Verify the mode switch on the back of the controller is set correctly (WIRELESS/PS5 or WIRED/PC).
  • Try re-pairing the controller by pressing the PlayStation button.
• Input Lag:
  • For PC, ensure you are using a wired connection for the highest polling rate (2000 Hz).
  • Minimize interference from other wireless devices if using wireless mode.
• Thumbstick Drift:
  • The TMR thumbsticks are designed to be anti-drift. If you experience drift, try recalibrating the thumbsticks via the Razer Mobile App or Synapse 4.
• Buttons Not Responding:
  • Ensure the controller is fully charged.
  • Check for any physical obstructions or debris around the buttons.
  • If using remapped buttons, verify the mapping in the Razer Mobile App or Synapse 4.
• PS5 Power On / Mic Mute (Known Limitations):
  • The controller may not power on the PS5 console directly.
  • The mic mute button may not function with all wireless headsets; a 3.5mm cable connection might be required for full functionality.
