Razer Prio

A Full Controller That Folds Like a Wallet

Razer Prio solves the awkward part of carrying a mobile gamepad by folding down to roughly the footprint of a credit card. At 101 grams, it is light enough to live in a bag or jacket, yet it opens around phones up to seven inches and works with many cases still attached.

Plug In and Skip the Pairing Screen

The USB-C connection draws power directly from an iPhone or Android device, so there is no controller battery to charge and no Bluetooth pairing routine before a game. That wired link also suits cloud gaming and remote play, where avoiding another layer of wireless delay is especially useful.

Proper Controls in a Tiny Hinge

Prio keeps the expected dual sticks, D-pad, ABXY buttons, bumpers, and triggers rather than shrinking the layout to a few arcade inputs. Its capacitive thumbsticks are designed to resist drift, while quiet tactile buttons make the pad less intrusive on a commute or in a shared room.

Small Enough to Actually Bring Along

A dedicated button opens Razer Cortex on mobile, putting supported games and services within quick reach. Available now for $99.99, Prio is pricier than a basic phone grip, but its value is in being the controller that is present when an unexpected gaming window opens, instead of the larger one left at home.
