The flashiness should make it easier to remember to slot it on the magnetic pins at the end of a gaming session so you don’t experience the pure rage of finding a dead controller when you need it most – or at least you’d hope that’s the case.

As usual with Razer products, this works perfectly fine with your gaming PC as it does with your console. Simply plug it in via USB or pair it up with the official Xbox Wireless Adapter that’s sold separately, and you’re good to go.

Other IPs are also on the table, and while we’d love a Merc with a Mouth version ahead of the potential
