The right face buttons on the Raiju are mechanical-switches-based. It also have two remappable back buttons, two remappable shoulder buttons, 2-step trigger stops.

On August 20, 2018, two improved Raiju models were released: the Raiju Tournament Edition and the Raiju Ultimate.[2] While both models are similar to the original model, Bluetooth connectivity had been added to both models, with the Raiju Tournament Edition having an asymmetrical controller layout, while the Raiju Ultimate have replaceable joystick caps and D-pads, as well as Razer Chroma lighting.

The Raiju have a mobile-orientated version in the form of Raiju Mobile.

Out of the box, the Raiju controllers are generic DirectInput controllers, but can work as XInput controllers when Razer's driver are installed. The audio jack on the controllers only works when wired. As noted, only the Raiju Tournament Edition and Raiju Ultimate support Bluetooth connectivity.
