Razer Unveils The Razer Prio: The Pocket-Sized Controller That Turns Delay Into Play

IRVINE, CALIF. - SEPTEMBER 1, 2026 - Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Prio, an ultra-mobile, foldable USB-C gaming controller engineered for iPhone and Android (1). Built to turn daily downtime, from commuting delays to breaks between classes, into console-grade gaming sessions, the Prio delivers full-sized control in a palm-sized form that slips into any pocket.

The first in Razer's new line of ultra-portable mobile controllers, the Razer Prio packs full-sized, console-grade control into a one-of-a-kind foldable form that fits in a pocket, turning everyday downtime into real play.

"With the Razer Prio, we set out to erase the tradeoffs between portability and precision," said Travis Furst, Head of AI Hardware and Console Division at Razer. "It folds down to the size of a credit card, but the moment it opens, it plays like a full controller. That's the whole game, wherever you happen to be sitting."

Unlock Adventure Anywhere

Crafted for ultimate portability, the Prio's folding mechanism slides out of a pocket and twists open in one motion. About the size of a credit card when folded (107 mm × 67 mm × 23 mm) and just 101 g, it opens into a full-sized controller that fits phones up to 7 inches, including the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Real games deserve real controls. The Razer Prio packs a complete layout, low-profile thumbsticks, a tactile 4-way D-pad, face buttons, bumpers, and triggers into a pocket-sized companion.

At the core of that layout are precise capacitive analog thumbsticks engineered to reduce drift, a first for a Razer controller. Contactless capacitive sensing reads movement at high resolution with no physical contacts to wear down, so aim stays sharp and steady round after round, even on a bumpy commute.

No pairing. No extra battery to charge. The Razer Prio plugs straight into the phone over USB-C for seamless, low-latency response. Its flexible design fits most slim to medium phone cases, so gamers can jump straight into the action without stripping their setup.

Discreet and Comprehensive Control

Whether on a crowded bus, in a waiting room, or between classes, the Prio's silent tactile face buttons deliver clean, responsive feedback, letting players tap into another world without disturbing the one around them.

The Razer Prio supports both iPhone (iOS 18) and Android (Android 14 or later) for local play and streaming via Xbox Cloud Gaming, Steam Link, PS Remote Play, and Razer PC Remote Play via the Razer Cortex Mobile and PC apps. A dedicated Razer Cortex Mobile button opens your game library in a single tap—just open Razer Cortex Mobile, link it to Razer Cortex on PC, and play your favourite PC titles on your mobile device.

Delay, Meet Play.
