Razer has launched the Prio Foldable USB-C Gaming Controller (RZ06-05190100-R3U1) in the US online, announced on September 1, 2026. The price starts at $99.99 ( lowest price recorded on September 1, 2026 on Amazon US, check product page for updated pricing ). At the time of writing, Amazon US has listed this model in stock, with delivery shipping from Tuesday, September 8.
The Prio is the first product in a new line of ultra-portable mobile gaming controllers from Razer. It folds down to roughly the footprint of a credit card, twists open into a full-sized layout, and plugs straight into a phone over USB-C.
Let’s check out the specs and features of this model.
Specs and Features
The Razer Prio (RZ06-05190100-R3U1) uses a twist-to-unlock folding mechanism that opens in a single motion. It weighs 101 g.
Opened out, it fits phones up to 7 inches, and Razer names the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra as examples. The design is flexible enough to take most slim to medium phone cases, so a case does not have to come off first.
The layout is a complete one: low-profile analog thumbsticks, a tactile 4-way D-pad, face buttons, bumpers and triggers. There are 4 multi-function buttons and dual bumper triggers.
The thumbsticks are capacitive analog thumbsticks, and this is the first Razer controller to use them. Contactless capacitive sensing reads movement without physical contacts that wear down, which is what Razer says reduces stick drift over time. The thumbsticks are not clickable, and there is no thumbstick sensitivity adjustment.
The face buttons are silent tactile face buttons rather than Razer’s Mecha-Tactile switches, chosen so the controller can be used without the clicking being audible to people nearby.
Connectivity is USB-C only. There is no wireless or Bluetooth mode, and no pairing step.
There is no battery in this controller and nothing to charge. It draws power from the phone it is plugged into, which is also what keeps the input latency down.
When it comes to system requirements, the Prio supports iOS 18 and Android™ 14 or higher. It works for local play and for streaming through Xbox Cloud Gaming, Steam Link, PS Remote Play and Razer PC Remote Play.
A dedicated Razer Cortex Mobile button opens your game library in a single tap. For PC titles, the flow is to open Razer Cortex Mobile, link it to Razer Cortex on the PC, and stream from there to the phone.
